Hello everyone, I’m returning to Proko after a hiatus. Decided to draw both level 1 and level 2 assignments, I think the pear was more successful than the portrait but that’s what practice is for! Thanks for viewing.
pear on the left is from observation, pear on the right is after watching the demo, pear on top is from a year ago :)
Hello everyone! Here is my pear. This exercise was super helpful in understanding out to start the process of a drawing,
1st project after a very long break from drawing. This was hard for me but glad to be practicing again.
Howdy! First time drawing, and then another drawing after watching the critique and demo. Honestly, not horrid! Can't wait to grow with you all!
Hi, my name is Q are used the reference one in reference to of the pairs. I did reference to completely by myself without the program method and then I did part two with the method. How does it look? I’m open to all critiques.
Hi guys, trust ya'll are good. I had fun doing this pear. I made a mistake with the part on the base of the stem and I think I have one extra value. However, I want to try this again after the critique and maybe another pear. I welcome critiques. Thank you for taking the time to see my work.
Half way through, I was positive it would never turn out and there was no salvaging it. So glad I didn't give up - I learned a lot.
Left is me doing on my own after instructions, and the right is done with me following along with the demo.
Not copying 1 to 1, but making sure to listen and apply the techniques more closely! Huge difference already.
Before and after watching. Drew pear 3 the second time to challenge myself. The demo helped a lot :)
Left is my first attempt. Right is the second attempt which I did after watching the demo.
Both of them were done using the same reference Stan used.
I drew these yesterday from the reference photos. Shading was definitely the hardest part for me.
Before and after demo video. Wanted to try this before doing the level two drawing. Fun project!
Hello,everyone.Here's my works.First pear is before and second is after and Im pretty happy with the result!Want to point out of my mistakes of the first pear which I drew before seeing the video:Light parts of a drawing is too dark imo also the shadow of a pear itself is formless.Second is,i really struggled to simplify the shape and went too round with it which is not the goal of a lesson and had no plan in my head drawing it.With the second one(after the video) Im really happy.The shape itself way more simple than first and the light part is really bright,imo messed up with the shadows,was little bit hard for me defining middle tone but still turned out good.Open for your tips and advices guys
