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
i choose to do pear 2 after watching your demo i didnt want to copy the same one. Critiqs pls
(Just realized that when I put the background color in on procreate I did so on a layer underneath the actual drawing so my highlights that weren’t colored became colored 😅)
pear assignment done! I was really hesitant to draw dark lines, working out values from photo is hard.
Second try on left, first try on right. I noticed that in my first attempt I was going back and forth between shading the different tones and jumping around. Taking it step by step allowed me better control over the shading colors. Critics and feedback fully welcome!
I posted my “before pear” on the last video, here is my “after pear” fixed a lot of proportions and silhouette issues from my last attempt, training my eye to compare where one line is in comparison to another, and starting with much lighter lines this time.
