I Feel like I didn't do good shapes on the cap but then started to experiment more with the onion.

I will do another practice since I forgot to take a picture of the first item :)

Me: The Terminator couldn't stick around but said "I'll be back"
Everyone: Boooooooo. We have read better jokes in those free news papers.

Fun but also challenging. May find it difficult to decide where to draw the line.
Question: is it an estimate or more definitive? Or to put it this way - how many level differences of shadow can be accommodated within the boundary? In my opinion, I prefer to mark only the darkest parts that are almost completely dark. How should I think?
The pictures may not match exactly where I stood/sat.
If someone can answer me I would be grateful! Thanks!

There are lighter parts in the shadow area where there's reflective light, but it's still in the shadow - i.e., the light source does not directly cast light on it. This whole shadow area is what we're looking for here :)

It's very cool to see how the drawing even without great rendering, if the terminator and perspective are correct, they'll end up looking pretty nice.

taking it slow, only worrying about 2 values and throwing down the form shadow and cast shadow for now.

Terminator study assignment.
The perspective and drawing aren’t the same as my subject’s poses but I tried match the light direction and terminator placement best I could. I don’t always feel certain that what I’m interpreting as the terminator isn’t just the dark halftones.

Cool studies! The terminators look good to me. You could gain in realism and 3D effect by varying your edge qualities: hard or soft, according to the forms of the surfaces: soft edges for round surfaces, hard edges for angles

The angles I drew from and the angles of the photos are a little bit off. Also, I just had a bit of trouble drawing in the dark. In any case, I think I got the terminators and cast shadows identified correctly.

Nice job on the tougher subjects especially in the dark. I’m not certain, but it looks like there might be a bit of that light touching the back right “windows”. If you included those little touches of light it would probably add some more dimensionality to the drawing. They also might just be some reflecting lights or tricks of the camera, I can’t tell exactly. Terminators and shadows all look correct to me though god work

for the fire alarm i wasnt sure if the slanted, middle shadow form was a cast shadow or form shadow. the light i had was above to the right and it felt to me it was due to the form on top of it but please give me your wisdom on that. i have no idea why for the egg the secondary cast shadow had a flattened edge but that's what i saw.

These were really fun! The garlic one was done on tracing paper over my original sketch, which I accidentally ruined with some spilled tea. I did not stop to establish proportions on any of these because I was hubristic and impatient, and some pretty egregious proportional errors resulted, especially on the skull. Oh, well. Critique would be greatly appreciated and is badly needed, as I don't feel confident that I understand what I'm doing.

Hi Val, I think this is looking really good! Nice cuts of the terminator edge.
