Hi this is my attempt of the portrait. I feel like some things could be improved in terms of shading, but that is a motivation to keep learning. Any form of feedback is welcome.

This assignment's got hands. I don't but that's what we're here to work on~

I'm not "advanced" but figured I would try this anyways. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Portrait drawing after watching the demo. Next step: mushrooms :)

Good grief this is one of the worst drawings I've ever made in my life. I will say I am relatively new to using Krita so I was a bit confused as to the choice of brush I should use, when it came to shading I was zoomed in for too long before I realized the homunculus I was drawing. I didn't watch the demo, but I went straight to kind of just doing exactly what I wasn't supposed to do here, the airbrush was a poor choice and the contours are all over the place. I decided to go back and draw the pear after watching the demo and I can at least confidently say that drawing is much better than this one lol.

tried again after watching the professors video, tough without the right pencils grabbing a real set of drawing pencils for next assignment

Having so much fun!

I did today the potrait, at fist I struggled so I start to watch the Demo. I tried not just copy, I hope that was successful.

Simplified Apple

Simplified portrait from observation

I only did the pear at first because I consider myself as a level 1. But after the demo, I wanted also to give a try to the portrait exercise. So, here is my attempt.

my attempt. Was much harder than I had thought, and spent way too much time on it. x)

Third attempt, took my time with it and tried to keep it clean. Feel like I learned a lot from this exercise, thanks for the lesson Stan!

before and after the demo! Super useful, I feel like I’ve struggled to block in proportions while drawing for a long time. Turns out I haven’t been simplifying nearly enough. I feel like I could still spend more time blocking in proportions on top of paying more attention to my hatching while laying down values. I also wish I spent more time on the hair and the chunks of light and shadow happening. But many lessons learned!

This one was definitely challenging. My first attempt before the demo is on the left, and the one after the demo is on the right. I clearly didn't fully understand the assignment at first and definitely overdid it lol. Let me know what you think of both! Thanks Stan, you definitely helped me understand simplifying way better!

So after watching the demo video I re-did the face again. Definite improvement, but suffered through it to get it to that point. Second attempt - left, first attempt right
