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.
@michaeltcking
with more simplification I'm on the way; enjoyed that one.

My first and second attempt. I don't know why they appear so dark and faded on the screen. Please open the original images before you critique.

Hello there. The one on the left is before I watched the video and the one on the right after I watched it .....a bit more messy I think?! Maybe,different. Thank you.

Second try. Found the simplification to five values a bit difficult
Kamila Zamorano
Second attempt. I tried again after watching the demo. I think I could have pushed the values a bit more but, I like this one better than the first. Open to critique on how to improve.

Here is my pear after the demo!
@heidirandallart
I did my first pear and made it too detailed! I didn’t get making sharp edges, so while yes my refined pear looks more like the pear itself, I really like the 2nd one I did with the sharp edges better because I learned a lot more! I felt like my 2nd drawing was way more loose and interesting.
Rithwik Bhumireddy
I would love some critique!
Vicki Young
He hasn’t gotten to contour lines yet, but you may want your lines to look like they wrap around the object. Good drawing!
@dutchcourage22
Well… first ever ‘real’ drawing attempt up for scrutiny 😬
Vicki Young
It’s stunning. You made the same mistake as me, you didn’t leave room for the shadow.

Here’s my pear. I’ve been "drawing" my whole life, but I never really learned the theory behind it, so I’m excited to learn and see where this goes. Thank you!
Vicki Young
I appreciate the thoughtful composition both in your sketchbook and your photos.
@elenaarmstrong2012
This is my second try. Better than the initial. I am mostly struggling to make shading within a plane and to keep pencil marks within the shape
Vicki Young
You’re getting ahead, Grasshopper. Go back and listen to the wise teacher again.

locked in changed softwares in the last one thats why it looks a bit better
@maiatatita27
i forgot some stuff or messed a bit so a made sure to make note of them on the drawing xD feel free to tell me anything else i might of gotten wrong
Vicki Young
There needs to be something on the light side. It’s too flat. Maybe white highlights?

Think my shading was a bit rough, and I need to work on it but pretty happy with this as a first atempt

11d
I think shape are the problem here to me shading doesn't look that bad and good attempt
@sullysarmywife
Inspiration, first attempt, and second attempt. Using this course to help my painting. Trying to figure out how to really simplify first into big planes and values.
@shirabs
9d
So pretty! I love the planes - second attempt looks so realistic
Nadira Anjum
tried my best understanding to follow
Ayu_33

I think the shape are mixing together but it looks really nice (i am a noob too so i am just saying what i felt)

Before and after not sure if it can be considered any improvement at all
@sketchenstein
I think it is an improvement! The After has more 3D feel, particularly around the "two highlights boxes" area, and also b/c of the new left side highlight. Overall I guess the improvement is the combo of the extra shading differentiation and the angle of your shading lines (Total noob here).
Henri Wirth
This was my third try and personal-favourite. Very great exercise!
@sketchenstein
You crushed it and I'm envious. Nice work.
