Here is my attempt after watching the demo. I used multiple pencils this time and tried to make the shapes more simple than last time. I did forget to shade according to the planes so my pencil strokes are a little bit messy. Now that I am watching the drawing from a screen I notice that I could have given the shirt a light value and that the shading is a bit messy. Feedback is always welcome!

Not as happy with this one. I think I’ll do digital next because I have a hard time not smudging and my pencils aren’t very good

Hi everyone, here are my attempts at both levels prior to watching the demo videos. I feel pretty good about the pear however I think I could have used a variety of pencils to create more contrast between values, I also think I did not simplify the shapes enough for the objectives of the project. I gave the portrait a good go but I found it really difficult to draw the shapes using only straight lines! I struggled with the proportions (especially the eyes). What else could I do to improve my simplification of shapes/values? Thank you in advance!

Had a very hard time keeping sharp edges. Thank you in advance for your critiques.

Project 1, done without watching Mr Stan’s demo.
After watching the demo, I noticed two main mistakes I made when drawing my pears.
1st mistake: I used curved lines and not just straight lines. The drawing is less simplified.
2nd mistake: the line separating the light from the shadow should not always be the same thickness. I never realized that it had various thicknesses. I was already too happy to establish the terminator.
I will do the exercise level two with this new information in mind.
I am travelling all of October. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make much progress. As soon as I get back, I will be working hard. I really like the approach, the clarity, the precision and the professionalism of Mr. Stan.

Hi! Here is my drawing of level-1-pear-2 before watching the demo, I am doing this on a tablet so it was interesting trying to shade with the pressure on the tablet, also tried not using the undo instead sticking to a 50% opacity eraser

First attempt! I was uncertain on how detailed I was supposed to be and ended up not being detailed enough. I just watched the demo and have written down a lot of pointers on what I can improve for my next attempt.
Very excited to give this another go!
