Now that you’ve all had some time to try the first project on your own, you can watch how I do it and figure out what areas you are exceeding and struggling with.
Here is my step-by-step demo on how to properly execute the first project for level 1 students.

Oh wow yea i can see a huge improvement just in the shape of of the pear. The shading got a lot better as well. I think my first time shading i just went all kinds of directions. I think with the clear separation of the shading it came out a lot better. The left one i did before watching the demo and the right one is after watching the demo.

I'm trying to get used to Digital Art, using Krita. Here is one of my pears. I drew this before watching the demo. Things I would do differently now: Shadow edges are too dark, Value 3 shape is off, and core shadows. But let me know what you think!

The first one is before the demo and the second is after! I would really appreciate some critiques. I'm using procreate and changed brushes on my second attempt because the first one was too dark and really pressure sensitive :/

Beginner at this point. I go way too dark. I also find it even more challenging to decipher right handed demos left handed. It’s hard to be left handed in this right handed world!! Either way loving the process of learning!

Really big improvement already! Nice work.
Separate the background value from the pear more and you’re golden!

My first attempt along with other references that I thought would be simple for a level 1. I did cheat on the pinball for proportions. Overall, it's a mixed bag. I do feel good about these after the fact despite knowing that my proportions are off.

Super new to drawing so these are easily the worst pears posted here. Did a before and after with the tutorial. Using Procreate so would love some feedback and maybe some tips for Procreate!

2 pears on the same page prior to video, 1 used tissue felt like it was slightly cheating then switched to pencil no tissue. The single pear is demo

Hello. Nice to see everyone's fruit!
1st attempt (left) before watching the vid. I went WAY too dark.
2nd attempt (right) lighter but think I need to simplify and be a little more careful/precise.
Using Procreate but no undo's...Except when the apple double tap eraser magically turns on 😅Think need to work on my values better

The right one is my initial attempt. I think in the left one I messed up with values

The background is pretty close to the value of the pear on that side, if you bump the background down a bit in value it won't feel as flat. These are great pears, nicely done!
