My attempt at the assignment with the first pear reference. Found keeping the edges of the shadows sharp very against my usual instinct for soft shadows. Tomorrow I'll watch the demo and attempt the other two pear references with whatever I learn and correct from that. Might also try the portrait, havent decided yet.

I've been drawing on and off since i was a kid, always self-teaching and just flying by the seat of my pants, and never really got any proper instruction, which really bogged down my passion for art by not being able to execute on ideas, or at least not without spending a ridiculous amount of time on it self-correcting mistakes i just don't seem to know how not to make in the first place. I'm 26 now, and feel like I've built a lot of bad habits by never really practicing basic fundamentals, so I'm starting from scratch with this course. Going through my supplies, I picked a cheap A3 sketchbook and I'll probably stick with the Arteza Graphite Pencils, because my fancier stuff doesn't work well on the cheaper paper, and I don't want to be precious about supplies when I'm supposed to just be learning. Starting the pear assignment tomorrow, wish me luck!
