Just a quick simplified version of the skull. Will try and improve at later date.

I'm glad I took this course, as it is forcing me to get out of my comfort zone. That being said, drawing the laces of the shoes felt like TORTURE. Will try level 2 later.
In Proko's video on lines he pointed out that when drawing you should not put a line down before imagining or visualizing what you will draw. I've drawn frequently since 12 years old, and I had never considered or practiced this. I have always drawn what I see or want without thinking, oftentimes needing to erase or redo. I can faintly see what I want to draw, but I can't actually visualize it ON the paper or in front of me.. Since Proko has pointed this out I have become conscious of the difficulty I have for visualizing what I want to draw, and it definitely keeps me from full potential in my sketches. Is there anything I can do to combat this?

I never thought of simplification when drawing, so this was quite challenging. The first pear was done without watching Proko's demo, and it turned out quite flat and doesn't really feel 3d. The second pear is after Proko's demo. It looks a bit more dynamic, but I had a hard time getting the light part of the pear right. I decided to draw the portrait without looking at Proko's demo, because I believe I would subconsciously copy Proko's simplification instead of observing the shapes and values on my own. Critiques would be appreciated!
