Assignment, follow along with me and trace a drawing from the provided edges.
From there apply edges to your tracing using the concepts covered in the lesson.
This felt quite fascinating, and I will continue, just have to make sure it's okay so far, and I'm understanding correctly, since I'm a first timer. A shadow can have four types of edges - lost, soft, hard and firm. We are supposed to identify them w/o looking into the shadow, but a shadow can be created as casting off of the form or by actually being on the form, then the edges are determined from there? I've done the best I could here. Not sure though. Any feedback is very helpful. Thank you.
Out of all the edge varieties, the hardest to distinguish between the 2 was Soft & Firm edges. They seemed a little too similar at times to tell apart from squinting so I had to rely on preconceived knowledge of the bony areas to locate Firm edges.

always remember that you are wanting to keep it very clear what is shadow and what is light and keep your halftones lighter than they appear. This will help in identifying edges.
Didn't bother much with the hair on the smoking man, nor the wrinkles, so I feel like a lost a lot of his character by not focusing on these details.

with what you did do it seems like your are getting the point.
I only concentrated on the face. You can see my computer keyboard through the tracing paper! LOL!
Hi Morgan,
I couldn't get workable quality printout of 2 photos. So I'm submitting only 2 out of 4. I don't have a good printing shop near me. In this assignment, there were places where I found it difficult to differentiate between Hard edge and Firm edge.
My attempt to focusing on edges. This was fun! Had some problems with smudging the tracing paper with my hand over and over though.

I can tell you learned a lot. These are excellent
This assignment has helped so much in understanding the different types of edges and how to spot them when squinting.

Oh wow. These are cool edge studies
Drawings from edge assignment...Yes it's very difficult to ignore half tones and working to completion; very cool though

This makes me very happy to see you reapply your focus and pay attention to the specifics of what was in front of you. great job!
I get the point of the exercise, I’m just not sure I pulled it off with a pencil. And what’s up with the iPhone camera after this latest update? It forces warmer or cooler colors than are actual. 🤨 ugh. I’ll try another
