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.
I've made two before watching the demo and two after. I'm not proud of any of them
I guess there is a little perfectionist inside me... Despite the discomfort I'm sharing them :')
4th one is the final pear
First attempt at the pear. Looks like I oversimplified the shadow shape, among other errors. I enjoyed the lesson and practice though, and am looking forward to what's ahead.
May have (totally did) done more than 5 values... oops. But this was a very fun first project! Completed in Procreate.
second attempt after watching the demo. Tried to add background later, but did not look good. Demo was really helpful ! Especially knowing what pencils to use for what parts.
I am using mechanical pecils (2.0 mm). But not able to get the darkest area any darker (using 6B) no matter how much I push the pencil. I see many of you are able to get it, I am missing something. any pointers?
As I'm getting older it's harder for my eye to notice the subtitles of the different values.
Adjust the picture digitally made that task a little easier.
Trying to understand how to communicate the forms with the values & Edges
Constructive Critiques ALWAYS Welcome.
Thanks!
Our attempt on the 3rd pear - done with all pears! Moving to portrait!
The more we draw, the more we appreciate how hard it is to achieve the line completeness and tidiness Proko demonstrated.
1st(left) and 2nd(right) attempt. I feel better about my edges, proportions and values in the 2nd attempt. Shading feels uneven in spots but overall, i'm happy with the difference and improvement from the 1st to 2nd drawing. feedback is appreciated.
Before and after demo! I only had a HB yesterday whereas today I had 2B and 4B so a little easier to get different values.
My first attempt compared to my second attempt after having watched the demo!!
I think the hardest part for me was building up the values, I was afraid I’d overwork my values and accidentally muddy everything up to the point of no return.
This is my first drawing of a pear please tell me how I did on it. I Realized certain errors that I did I. But I wanna learn how can be better
This is my first attempt at the level 1 pear. Looks better than my usual stick figure to me.
