This is my attempt at pear #3. I found the assortment of shades along the left side very challenging.

All three pears for 1st attempts before the demo and 2nd attempts after the demo. Unfortunately, I didn't realize until after that everything on the paper got smudged, especially for 1st attempts. Definitely needed work on shading and planes which I improved more on the second attempt, but need to start using the point of the pencils more for filling rather than the side of the pencils. Going to do a third attempt after watching the critique videos and have more patience with my shading, think I was going too quickly and not taking my time.

I feel like I'm starting to get it a lot more! Don't love the shadow under the pear but I think I could've improved it with more page space. Any critiques are welcome!

After watching the video...

I'm waiting for a bigger sketchbook to be delivered

This is an exercise before watching the Video...

I tried another pear after watching the video, I improved from my first attempt. Any feedback is appreciated! :)

Before(L) and after(R) demo

I only have 2hb and a 3h pencils I don't know if that matters. Mr. Prokopenko kept switching between pencils that I don't have.

2nd attemp at pear #1 after watching the demo. Would appreciate a feedback!

Step 1

My first attempt - I think I am going to start by investing in more pencils, and practicing the shading a lot more. Any more suggestions???

second attempt on left, along with my first attempt (which i also posted on the initial lesson) for comparison purposes against the second attempt after watching this lesson. i used pear 2 looking at it here, i can see that i'm not capturing the leftward lean properly

This is the 2nd attempt. Please share feedback to improve.

Done with shading

Here's my first shot at it!
