This took longer than I expected. It would have been much easier and less messy to achieve uniform tones on IPad but I enjoyed the process of experimenting and understanding the paper and pencil. It was hard to simplify some areas and decide which shape with which tones to render.

Enjoying the process!

This pear was even more challenging. I think since I saw the image from my iPad and the screen brightness was a bit high, I could not see some shadows. In a darker screen, I could even see 4 tones on the not-shaded side of the subject. It was difficult to decide which one to show.

The exercise is challenging, but I enjoyed it. The simplification of the contours was a bit difficult for me, at the beginning I had even a more detailed contour that had to simplify afterward. I think I went too dark on the shading, what made it difficult to achieve the same dark tone for the cast shadow, I had to use the B8 pencil. For the next ones, I will define the tone ranges before the drawing, choosing them a bit closer to each other and not too dark.
