Asked for help
Hi everyone, I've just begun the course! This is my initial attempt at Level 1 and 2 projects, undertaken prior to watching the demos. I would greatly appreciate any feedback or critiques from you all!

I think you did a fantastic job. The Prokos video definitely points out some aspects you might want to be aware of. But I would say try to make sure to keep the lines of the pencil a bit closer when rendering. since some of the white on the page can be seen and the value loses its strenth, I hope it make sense (English is not my first language )

I tried some more. I find portraits kind of boring. So I decided to draw PARTS of a composition by Josh Kirby. It was like a puzzle made of 1000 pieces. And it was fun!! It taught me so much about proportions, measuring vs. eyeballing, negative shapes, clean lines, etc. Actually this project contained many aspects of the things I've learned in this course so far. The best thing was to discover that I've improved in terms of proportions since the first project (simplifying with shadows and lines, see the weird drawing below). See the persons not-existing hands :D (not ready to draw hands and fingers yet)
really nice sniggy! If you would like to take it one step further, it could be fun if you looked for the artist who made the book cover and tried to simplify some of the artist's illustrations on five value scales. It will definitely be a fun challenge.
