I startet my first attempt before watching the demo a while ago. I didn‘t touch my drawing for some time and when I continued to draw the first one, I couldn’t help myself and got carried away with details. This was obviously not the right way to do the assignment. I needed the demo AND the critique video to draw how it’s supposed to be done (hopefully). I really have difficulty to simplify. The second attempt is more like a third attempt. I forgot to take a picture of my version after I watched the demo. After also watching the critique video I drew over it and tried to correct it.

Hello everyone! After completing the first level, I moved on to the second one. It was great fun, and I can say that I’m happy with the result. I know it can be done even better, so I’d love to hear any advice I could apply in the future. Sending my best regards to everyone. Now I’m off to watch the demo!

Hi. Here is my third attempt at this project after watching the critique. I changed the rule and added only one value to the shadow. I did this because I wanted to emphasize the plane changes more. Any advice? 😊

Hey, here's my next attempt. This time after watching the demo. I know the pear is a bit too high and could be tilted more to the right. I struggled with cleanly separating the darkest tone from the dark one, and looking back, I think I could’ve simplified it better. Gonna watch the critique now and give it another shot 😊

Here’s my approach to the project. I believe I managed to keep the proportions right, though I relied on the eyeballing method. Now, I’m going to watch the demo and take another shot at it. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I don’t know why, but I love the traditional approach. Every time I spend time working digitally, I get this uneasy feeling that it’s not real. It’s funny and a bit strange, but the physical surface just makes me happy 😊 + Some of my doodles

Hello everyone, I’m starting this course again, but this time I really want to focus. Last time, I was very distracted. I took part in many courses, but I didn’t finish any. Now it’s time to take things step by step. My goal is to draw in a very realistic way and, of course, to paint. I’m especially interested in still life, landscapes, and figure drawing/painting. My biggest challenge is that I get fascinated by too many things, which makes it hard to focus on just one. I graduated from art school and realized that continuing to learn on my own is quite difficult. That’s why I truly appreciate this site because of its community. I believe having people to communicate with and support each other’s growth is incredibly important. Wish me luck, and I wish the same for all of you.

Here, I stayed with the construction theme and sketched another piece of heavy machinery. I started by focusing on the simple geometry and then added more details in the second sketch.

Here’s my attempt for today. I know the lines could be more consistent, but I focused more on understanding the topic 😊

Hi, Here’s my attempt. It's a very enjoyable and enriching exercise. I plan to practice regularly. I know I could have paid more attention to the proportions. 😊
