Here are my attempts. First one i did before watching the demo, 2 and 3 after. #2 should be leaning way more to the left though, messed up on the outline.
Hello. My first attempt was to try drawing from the real pear. I was unhappy with result, so decided to try one more time, but to draw from the photo
My attempts at the pair before and after this video, left is before, right is after. I'm pretty satisfied with the second attempt but I do realize I could've done a bit better in hindsight
My attempts at the pears. Excited to come back and try these again and the lvl 2 project once i make my first pass through the course!
First attempt, I haven’t watched the tutorial yet. Complete newbie and pretty happy with how it turned out. I expected the result to be so bad I’d quit the course once this was done 😂 (I will be continuing 👍).
You can make the shadow of a darker value on the edge of the pear just as the shadow of the pear.
Here are my two attempts at the pear. First picture was without watching the lesson, second picture is after watching his breakdown on how to draw it. Can't really tell if there's any improvement in the second one besides the proportions being closer.
-Added a third attempt without doing the chunky style. Feels like it was an improvement this time
Was kinda holding back posting my drawings,but i so much enjoyed watching other peoples creations that i want to give it a go. First 2 are from before the critique video 3rd one after (and a different pear photo). Also somehow found it hard to use 2 different lighter shade.
Hi, first post of my first result. Shading with just one pencil is challenging. Enjoyed the exercise, though.
Hello, I am new here and just finished the project. Instead of using pictures, I tried to use a real object - an apple.
This is my first attempt and second attempt after the demo. I learned a lot from the demo and tried to incorporate some of those lessons into my second drawing. I tried to keep each value more consistent and the plane changes cleaner than the first one. Any suggestions or comments?
My before the demo and after the demo - definitely some room for improvement but I’m proud of how much of a difference there is already from my two attempts!
