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.

Hi everyone, I gave the pear drawing a shot—twice! It was a bit tricky trying not to accidentally smudge it with my hand. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

First without watching the demo, then after. Had the most trouble keeping the values consistent and edges clear. Worked in procreate, so the feeling for the pencil is not quite the same. I think I actually like my first try better.

Had a hard time visualizing the blocks or shapes

My levels 1 and 2. Made before watching the demo. I guess I tried to follow the shape of the pear a little too much...

attempted it alongside the demo. the shadows turned out a bit darker than usual tho, and the lines are quite sharp. is there a way i could tackle that?

Nice job on including an actual dark value. We can get scared to do it but that's so important to communicating a rounded form or a plane change.

Hi I am a designer from Hong Kong. It is my first time attempting an overseas online course because I want to enhance my creativity. This exercise is really fun! I have never done a simplification exercise like this, and it helps me see things in a new way.

Result after following along with Stan. Looks much better than the original one that I drew. The approach to the tones made a big difference.

So, do you have suggestions on how to do things like shading if you have a tremor? While your hand moves back and forth very smoothly in tight areas, mine does not.
I was very impressed with the earlier video of the terrific work done by the person drawing with his mouth. Honestly, I think he would get quite dizzy doing the mushrooms that are coming up. I am very lucky to have just a tremor.
Thanks!
