Before & after demo

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.

These are our pears after the demo. I think we need to work on the edges more. The way we orgnaize each line strokes should be improved too.

Left is before and right is after the video, feedback?

Learning with pencils. Tried to create a chiaroscuro effect with the background, failed a bit there and I may have wrecked the shape a bit. I do like how the lights popped out.

Left is before, right is after the demo. I plan to do this a third time after rewatching the demo and watching the critique video. The demo helped so much. Noticed the direction of shading strokes made a difference, and layering of multiple pencils really helped the values stand on their own. I had to go over the darker values again at the end, so maybe I need to practice using less pressure because that 2B was getting close to the 4B. I was tempted to use a wider range of pencils since this set has an 8B and 2H but I figured it would be better to challenge myself with the limited range. another problem was the smudging. I would be shading one part and notice where my hand was resting it smudged a bit so I had to go in and fix with the eraser, so I’ll practice using a floating hand unless there’s a better method.

First is before watching the tutorial, second is after. I like the improvement between the two, although if I did it again, I’d look to increase the contrast between the shading on most of the pair and the background. Apologies for the darker pics. It’s raining today so there’s not a whole lot of natural light outside. Forcing the flash was as good as I could get it.

Before and after the methods (Yeah I used an inked Pen, I only had that)

I think I need to work on creating more contrast on the value and simplifying.

Before and after the correction video. The right side of the pear still doesn’t have the right shape, now that I see it posted here. Grrr ^^

Did a study of Stan's demo and will do some more on my own soon.

Still need to work on the pressure.

Can someone give me feedback? Please and thank you

2nd attempt at the assignment after watching the demo, still can't get the values correct, any feedback or tips are welcome. Thank you.

Redraw after watching demo

First time using mechanical pencils, still getting used to them.

I worked really hard on shading this, and something seems not quite right. Hoping for feedback. Thank you!

I did the one by myself two days ago and the demo today. I'm really pleased with how it all came out!
