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.

Top one was before the demo, bottom one was after. I work digitally but struggle with simplifying so this exercise was great!

I love your shading ! Maybe the light half-tone shading is a bit too "draft" and the pear looks a bit crushed but I think overall you did it ! :D

Redid Pear 3. Stuck to lines. Kept reviewing the lines drawn. Tried to avoid overlap of the 5 tones. Still need to improve on clean lines. Consistency of the pattern needs to improve vastly - Repetition of the same type of lines & lines mirroring the contour to make the shape of the pear. The bottom of the pear is exaggerated.

Level 1 Pear 2 & 3. Simplifying is not simple. Blurring lines to cover mistakes. Lines all over the place. Phew! Might be an extremely good idea to pause and review work prior to proceeding. Especially when i find myself blurring my eyes while i draw. Your feedback is welcome. Thank you.

Level 1 Pear. Posting my 3rd attempt on the pear (the middle one is pre-demo). This time i decided on the values prior and fixed where each should go to. The lines too were decided prior. It was easier this time as I was only looking at the shadows. What i traded this focus on was the shape. It’s funny that i fixed it in my mind that it was a fat pear and i ended up exaggerating the shape. Still ended up blurring the shadows cause the more i looked the more gradations i saw. Your critique is welcome. Thank you

One thing I'd like to point out is the pencil angle. On the first viewing, I thought you were just using a very steep angle, but after many failed attempts and a fresh viewing, I realized I should've been using a much gentler angle. A steeper angle indents the paper too quickly and adds too much graphite, leaving no room for later.

Hi Nelson, i think you got the brief to the T. It’s great how you did the tones before on top. Shall remember to do this in my work as well.
