My HTB worm. this method makes shading easier. Been applying this to my own project too. Any feedback or critiques are welcome

Hello!
Here's my HTB Worm assignment. It took longer than the recommended time, but I enjoyed the whole process so I took my time. Hopefully the values are where and how they should be.
Thank you @Dorian Iten!

Here's my attempt at the HTB worm assignment (I haven't watched the video yet).
I first set the prospective, than put in the tone.
After finishing the assignment, maybe the angle I decided was not the best for the objective of assignment itself (the form shadow is not too visible, compared to the form light). Also it took me 2-3 hours to complete instead of the 30-60 minutes. requested.
Overall a nice assignment, enjoyable to do; I think one of the good assignments of this course than can be translated and used when practicing a new drawing medium

Was not quite happy with my first try (Second Image) and did it again. Had to resolve that shading knot :-)

Nice! You're understanding this! 👍
The main area where you could make this image stronger are the two points where the worm is touching the floor. On the left (underneath the head) it's all getting quite soft, and on the right there is a perspective issue where the cast shadow doesn't quite work together with where the body touches the floor.

Good work, @Yvann Cerisier!
On the floor, you're not following halfway-to-black, though. Give your floor some thickness, basically turning the flat floor plane into a box. Then shade the shadow side of that "floor box". The value of that shadow is the same as the cast shadow on the floor that is created by the worm.

I usually used multiply layer, so I have forgot about this kind of value choosing. But I remember now! And it’s fun when succeed.

Nice! Good work!
I agree with Félicia, the face is a nice touch as well :D

Here is my HTB worm that looks a bit worried. Finding the half way in traditional medium is a pretty arbitrary exercise. I looks easier to achieve in digital but have not tried it yet
