Thanks for the critique Stan, that solved some issues for me :) As far as pronouncing my name, you did a good job only that the "jo" in Aljoscha is pronounced like in "yolk" not like in "Josh" or something :D

Wow, I had a real hard time trying to get these pointy/round/flat contours kinda right. Also drawing digitally is so hard to get nice and clear lines for me. Happy drawing everyone! I also tried to exaggerate some of these lines, especially at the chin.

This looks awesome! Be careful with the direction of the lines on the chin, since he is coming at you and his body is going back in space, the contour lines should generally follow that direction. Hope this helps!

Wow, very difficult! I spent between 5 and 15 Minutes on each hand. Happy drawing everyone :)

Day 2: I did not pay much attention to values. I just wanted the proportions to be somewhat correct. I added some highlights with a white pencil. It works quite well on this grey paper.

Now I’m gonna have to get grey toned paper too, thanks a lot lol

Hey you guys! I took the reference of the pear that Stan gave and made this! Would love some feedback. Thanks!
Aljoscha Adam
Very nice, I think you could even push the value of the highlight a little brighter and the shadow side a bit darker to get a little more 3 dimensionality.

Hello everyone! I would call myself an intermediate artist. I have some background in oil painting, but I want to hone my skills in drawing, especially perspective and drawing from imagination :) I will also do this course digitally. I hope everybody has a great time learning and practicing. I just finished this portrait. I would love to get some feedback :) Cheers from Germany.

I see that you're blocking values pretty well on the face features. Maybe do the same for the hair, where there's highlight values, don't be shy to use more contrast brushes for the hair.I think the proportions are quite good too ! I'm doing the course with pencil and paper, so I have quite a difficult time adjusting my values with HB Pencil ahaha Great job !

Hello everyone, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but my two ellipsis are looking very different from one another, the one closer to VP1 looks so much wider? I guess there is something off, but I can't tell what it is. Happy practicing!

The one in the far left looks more smashed because your square isn't perfect. Remember that a perfectly round circle can only exist within a perfect square. Not only must the perfect square have 90 degree angles, but the length of each side must be the same. Hope that helps.
