2nd attempt.

Hi! I just started this course. I would love some feedback from anyone here. I first attempted by myself, then attempted the pear along with Stan in the demo, and attached is my attempt to do the second pear reference photo. I'm very much a beginner. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to look at this. :)

Feedback is appreciated, from my own pov i feel like i didn't divide the planes well and at the time i realized it some lines were too marked to correct, also managing different values with a single pencil was a bit difficult for me, i probably shouldv'e used a variety of hardness but i digress.

I’m trying to follow this course using an iPad Pro and Procreate. I started this assignment with an image of an orange that I had taken at my desk and struggled with it for a few hours. The pencil brushes in procreate are pretty unruly imo. I had a terrible time controlling value and textures were unpredictable. I’m still looking for some brushes that can emulate graphite, and I will happily take any suggestions. I wound up taking the route of more or less “painting” the planes of the subject, and anyone can see where I had started blending some of the darker strokes. I have a lot of work to do if I want to keep up with this course using digital tools.

Got to drawabox lesson 3 but thats the only experience I’ve had with drawing so far, excited to work my way through this course. First time drawing with pencil, would love some feedback on how to improve on my next project. Second pear is the one after I watched the demo.

Hi ! Started today, did the portrait. It was a little challenging to keep it simple and on model and I did overwork some part (some pencil mark). Happy to get feedback and critics. Could also be cleaner

Here's my pear before the demo, after the demo, and the reference pear.

My attempt before and after the demo. Think the tone separation is better, but not totally happy with the tone shapes

Before and after watching this video. The redrawn on the right had cleaner lines and separation but I think I can still do better at shading and values

here's my result for the pear simplification. unfortunately my scanner died so this is the first digital painting I've ever done

Here are my pear drawings before demo and then after. Getting the 5 values is definitely a challeneg!

My results before and after the demo! Surprisingly the demo was harder despite all the instructions

Project Pair! Any critique is greatly appreciated!

My pear drawings: from left to right, before the demo, coying the demo, and after the demo. Am I doing better after demo? Is there anything I still can do better in the last one? Thanks for your critiques.

Before. I think I didn't have clear enough shapes and edges and could improve a bit. I need to be better at shading so it doesn't feel very messy

This is the brefore and after watching the demo
