I spent a fair amount of time on level 1. I did three drawings on three different types of papers - white, gray and black. On the white paper I used graphite with white charcoal for the highlight. Not that you can tell, the light areas are all washed out in my scan. On the gray paper I used graphite and white charcoal. On the black paper I used white charcoal. That was fun, but messy. The graphite on white paper, I used a blending stump. Ack, what a mistake, After that, I went over the whole drawing again with pencil. Some light areas look blotchy because of that. (Not that you can tell from the scan.) I did the level 2 drawings smaller because of the time constraints. I mostly less prioritized getting shadows down. I felt really rushed working on these. Again, my scanner bleached out the lights. I wished I had done them on the gray toned paper.

Finally watching the critiques - the last couple of months have been crazy. Thank-you Stan for your input. I will be practicing this more. A lot more.

Here are my level 1 and level 2 assignments. Notes are on the images. Except I forgot to number all the thumbnails on the level 2 assignments. The flowers are from a picture I had taken a while ago. The apples, I did from life.

I think I needed a lot more time with this assignment. And, just as I'm posting here I see I actually have one more day. Well, anyway all I got done was level 2. I did it digitally this time. My scanned in pencil sketches seem so light when I post them. Black sketches are cleaned up drawings. Red sketches are my messy working it out sketch.

Here are my level 1 torso boxes. Hopefully I can get the level 2 drawings done in the next day or two.

Day 24: Toaster Last one! The last few sketches were done out of order. Done in Clip Studio Paint. Finished sketch, messy sketch, reference image.

Day 27: Loaf of bread Homemade bread. Done in Clip Studio Paint. Final sketch, messy sketch, reference image.

Day 28: skull Done with Clip Studio Paint. Finished sketch, rough sketch and reference photo:

Day 25: Swiss army knife Used a Micron pen again.

Day 26 (doing the last few days out of order): Computer. Done from life. My computer is a boring looking beige and black tower. Also used a Micron pen because my pencil drawings don't scan very well.
