After watching the demo, I tried the light and shadow method for a woman portrait. While the face portion and the shadow I want to describe aren't quite right, this method make the drawing more vivid.

I tried to draw directly from the photo for this exercise. Honestly, I’m not sure how to improve when using ink. After watching the video, I understand how to make progress with pencil because it offers a wider range of values (weight and darkness). But with ink, the only thing I can really vary is line weight—pressing lightly still gives a dark line. If anyone has a solution, I’m open to suggestions. Maybe using black watercolor could be an option.

Light and shadow line weight with Rhino. Before (left) and after (right) the demo. Before the demo, I could not make a decision on which area s/b thick , or not. The demo helped me clarify that question. Looks much better now

Pre and post demo. The second attempt felt much more natural with clarity from the demo.

Tried it after the demo again

The demo helped me pay more attention to the value of the line, and not only on its thickness and also the beauty of smoothing out the transitions. Really nice!

Light and Shadow Line Weight

ugh, why did i think i needed tracing paper for these two???

I did these last two in digital, it was very interesting seeing the effect the line produces.

After Demo

My attempt after watching the demo.

I see! Rather than looking at the actual image of the rhino as I traced the line art, I simply made up my own light sources. This was very interesting, thank you!

mm i did wrong this exercise i done the full shadow its seems cool but not the premise

Following Proko, struggling lol.

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.
