Hello I try to practice the light and shadow an another drawing because I didn't get the assignment right before seing the demo. I always had hard time with how to see the value of light and shadow and still have. A little help will be welcome. Thanks and good evening all.

Hi Everyone, I am practicing line weight digitally. I am able to pull my initial drawing with good lines but as I apply line weight as second line my lines aren't correlating with initial copy or I don't get tampering lines and It doesn't look good as initial drawing. Do I need to learn putting line weight in initial phase with planning or I am lacking practice to pull good line weight stroke in my second attempt? Help please?

I have rather enjoyed experimenting with line weight. And so did this one depicting the sun from the upper left/backside. I would like to develop my skill using light and shadow because I would like to do landscapes and this seems to be an essential component.

Personally, I found this way of designating line weight way more challenging compared to hierarchy of importance. But I thought it was such a useful practice! Feedback is always welcome, thank you! :)

I’m excited to tinker more with this technique using a brush pen. Love this look - looking forward to leveling up with more practice!

Felt a bit frustrated by this one, I feel like I got the main gist of it right but wasn't able to capture some of the complexities the way Stan does.

I decided to redo this assignment after watching the demo because I felt like I saw a lot of room for improvement. I think I was a little too timid the first time so I made sure to add more variety in my line value and thickness. If anyone has any critiques I’d really appreciate!

2nd attempt after watching the demo

Maybe is to light?

Before and after watching the demo. It's an improvement but I'm still not sure I quite get it. I tried to show contrast with line value and shadow with line width but I don't thin I quite succeeded. I'll have to come back to it again at some point

Feeling very proud of this rhino with the light and shadow attempt, might start posting projects using what I learned from here that I’m proud of too!

Decided to practice line weight with some additional references

Here’s my attempt with pencil. I usually practice an exercise over and over, which is why I’m only on this lesson after being in the course for close to a year now. But then I start looking elsewhere for details on proportions and time to chug along through this course, I think, despite the fact that every exercise I could spend countless repetitions on and gain so much from each one.

I feel much better after watching both videos. Helped me understand how to use contrast for line weight in light and shadow! Hoping I made some improvement!

I feel like this might be a bit of a dumb question but I'm confused about this contrast concept. Would this also be okay? (it's the opposite of what Proko did) Idk if that's how it works but I choose to emphasize the shadow of the body in the head. And the light of the background in the leg.

This is my light and shadow attempt after watching the demo. This was definitely more challenging than the other one, but it was fun nonetheless :)
