I attempted a master study of Karl Kopinski since he is my favorite artist. I am not too please with them, they both have proportional issues and I feel like Karl's laid back "lazy" lines are so much harder to recreate than they look. I think I will attempt another master study with more intentional line quality, but I thought I would post this since it is good to recognize drawings that you're not necessarily happy with.

This assignment was fun. One thing I need to work on is simplification. Everything I did was still smooth, but I feel like everything I did might have been too much copying and not enough sketching I guess.

Here is my take on the level 1 csi references, i tried to fit them on one page so it is a bit cramped but I am happy with them. Let me know what you think!

This is my drawing of pear 2. I tried to use a wider variety of pencils. I used a 4B for the main shadows of the pear and an 8B for the cast shadow. I used HB for everything else, lmk what you think!

This is my first pear. I definitely struggled to find the mid tones so that I could accentuate the highlights. I did stick with only an HB and I think if I had a softer pencil to make shadow areas darker, I would have been more comfortable making my midtones.
