Asked for help
I love both large landscape and historical paintings from the various European schools of art, as well as engraving/illustration and comics since the early 1800s. Here is a selection including Rembrandt, Hendrick Avercamp, JMW Turner, James McNeill Whistler, Gustave Doré, Carl Barks, Hal Foster, Will Eisner, and Mike Mignola.

The left image is my second attempt with the demo and the middle image is my first attempt without the demo.
I'm really here as a beginner, knowledge wise. I never was officially taught these concepts, but picked them up as I grew.
I am currently working part-time, a full-time student, and have other obligations, but I still get down on myself and feel I'm so behind. When I started, there were only two videos in the line section, but now there are plenty and I feel like I'm getting very behind. Are there any tips or motivation anybody can give on this? I feel like this fact chokes me up and stops me from producing more art as I feel pressured.

Hi all, fallen behind in the course, but beginning my work to catch up. I also did a little study with a value scale, which really helped do a good job on the more polished one (hopefully you can tell that's the one with the bluish tint to the photo!).
It took me a good 3 hours to get the shading as even as this, and I'm not sure I did a particularly great job in the lights. On the other hand, I feel like I did well with proportions and the simplification of the pear into straight lines. Love to hear other people's opinions though.

I started practicing in my smaller sketchbook with a Staedler HB. I tried out a couple of other pencils elsewhere, a Blackwing 602, a Musgrave Tennessee Red, and a Mitsubishi Uni 9000, just because I had them lying around for writing. The Staedler felt superior for drawing.
As for the exercises, I tried a bit of shading and drawing circles.
For the shading, I’ll be honest and say I liked using the tip better than the side with graphite. I’ve used a charcoal pencil before and it would be the opposite for that.
I used a circle template I had lying around to help give myself a point of comparison. Still, amazing how circular my freehand attempts looked until I saw them in camera! The eye can really deceive itself…

Hi I just started up yesterday and did some drawings with the examples, the image with the star were all 2 minute sketches, the rest were untimed, I'm really happy with how some of these came out but would like some feedback!
Looking at some of the other assignments and their feedback I think maybe I'm trying to run before I walk by trying to get the shapes this early on, I might try to just focus more on doing more loose stuff to get the gesture better, I'll try doing some 30 second ones since that should force me to simplify a lot more
