... I need more practice, I don't have strong hand to eye coordination, patience, and sometimes I press too hard. Proportions need to be worked on...

i think i got to improve on the distinction of values compared to the previous attempt, but got some shapes and edges more off compared to before.

still working on understanding the blending dark and light

I’m soo used to copy things, I’m surprised in how hard it was to simply it, but I’m happy with the results!

Done digitally! There is way less obvious of a transition between the 5 different shades of color which is annoying me, as well as the shape ended up surprisingly inaccurate. I especially had trouble for the lighter shades, in both noticing them and trying to draw them. Any tips for going through this course digitally? as well as just what to improve on the pear of course.

This is my pear, Im open to feed back. :)

First time that I have ever drawn in my adult life

I JUST started digital art/Drawing in general yesterday, Here's my sketch, ignoring the random doodle I think it turned out ok, It was done after the previous video.

This is my first attempt. I have lots to learn! This was harder than just trying to draw the pear as is. I’ll give it another go after watching the video.

Here are my attempts at pear #2. The first I did without watching the solution (and somehow missed to only use straight lines). The second one is after where I tried to put more emphasis on clear angular shapes.

This was the best I could do :') I feel like I just could not for the life of me wrap my head around any of it. Still a complete beginner with so, so far to go. I hope in 3-4 years time I'll be able to look back on this sketch and be amazed at how far I've come

I originally tried to do the assignment without paying for the class, and I did maybe 3 different drawings of a pear. They were not accurate to how the assignment was supposed to turn out, but now after paying and actually knowing what I’m supposed to do, I’m pretty happy :)

My level 1 and level 2 images

Hello everyone! Sharing my very first assignment here. At first, identifying five tones seemed difficult, but as I became absorbed in the exercise, they began to emerge clearly—almost like magic! Looking forward to learning and growing with you all. Your thoughts and suggestions are most welcome 😊

the demo really helped to better understand the objective of this assignment. thanks a lot. this is my attempt after watching the demo. Thanks in advance for any feedback on it

These are my first attempt, phew! Portrait looks scary. I will repos after watching step by step demo. I would really like to have feedbacks. Thank you.

After the first attempt, I watched Stan's video; this is the result

Here is my attempt (without watching the video). I missed the part that we should only use straight lines. Also my darkest shades could be darker - even though I used my softest pencil (11B)

Pretty happy about how this went

Hello! I'm back for the second dayyy of this journey. I felt a little spicyyy and decided to try something new. So, I made a photo of a carrot and also I tried putting two small papers together because I only have those or some A4 quadricular paper. But in the process of drawing, I realized putting two papers on top of each other just makes it more difficult and annoying. Still, practice is practice and next time I won't do it again:) Overall, I think my lines are not straight enough, a bit wobbly and also my shading is so bad:(( I got so irritated with the paper that I smudged then I shaded too dark or too light. Well... again practice is practice and in the end, it was fun drawing with such chaos haha. If you have any feedback or criticism please tell me it would help a LOT:)) As always thank you so much and have an awesome day!
