Before and after the demo and critique. I realized while watching it I drew the wrong pear the first time, but I still can see an improvement.

Hi everyone, just starting this course, would love a art buddy if anyone wants. these 2 pics are my before and after the lesson, before i didnt do it with straight lines so they look a lot different, i still like more my first but lets see where it goes doing it blocky ish :) if anyone has tips pls say it i want to get better <3

Hey everyone, just want to share my progress. I've drawn the same pear twice. First one before Stan's demo, turned out to be not simplified enough, but I think I've got pretty accurate proportions. The second attempt was after the demo. I've also added it a few comments on the photo after watching the critique video. And I think that maybe the darkest shade of the light looks better on the first one, because it gives the pear more volume. Feel free to share your opinion, what else could be potentially improved if you notice something, that I've missed :)

Ok, I had stopped the course for a while so I started again the projects. This is my pear

Would love some feedback! Trying to use toned and white paper

I struggled the first time with an apple i tried ti draw bc it was unclear what was shadow and what was darker parts of the apple. This is my second attempt with the pear. I added a sixth darker value in the shadow.

Wasn’t going to post, but then I decided to be brave. I’m please with my first attempt.

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

May have (totally did) done more than 5 values... oops. But this was a very fun first project! Completed in Procreate.

My attempt at this exercise. Thanks

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.

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!

My before drawing of two pairs

Before vs after

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.

My attempt before demo- any criticism is welcome
