Third attempt. I laid things in pencil so I could erase, and later went over it with conte for visibility (I forgot to outline the eye sockets though). I also stepped back from time to time to see if something felt wrong.
I'm happier with this compared to my previous attempts, though I still have an issue with not tilting the eyes enough and it's pretty clear now that I'm looking at it again. I eyed the hands and it shows.

It's been a while since I drew with conte, drew this on 18"x24". I'll give this another try before watching the demo -- I need to take a step back and spend more time on the lay in haha
Tried again (image from Braschler/Fischer) -- this took about an hour and a half and I rushed the end a bit. Measuring everything out tests my patience and my shaky arms don't help...

Level 1, I feel some of these could be simplified more so I'll give this another shot after watching demos.

Master study from William O'Connor, this was surprisingly fun to do! Some observations:
- The focus of the drawing is the mouth, which is more thickly outlined than the back of the head
- Heavier outlines, thinner insides
- He sketches out light flow lines throughout the head (most noticeable on the left side), which he then placed details over
- There's a bit on the bottom of the lower jaw where he added weight due to it being in shadow
The first pic is an admittedly rushed study from William O'Connor again. I was mainly trying to figure out why he contour shaded some parts (like the foot) and why he hatched some parts without contours (like the tail). I ended up thinking that the straight hatching was used for larger forms completely in shadow, whereas the contoured parts were more visible in light.
And then for fun I looked at one of Fujiyama Monta's works and tried to apply what I studied 😅
I drew the croc with the light and shadow method after watching the demo a couple of times. This was definitely a lot trickier than the hierarchy method 😅 I had to redo this once.

I'm going through level 1 since I've been learning haphazardly so far, but I did this for fun. Not pictured are a ton of sketch pages in-between that look like the first page, I feel I have a bad habit of placing lines too quickly 🤔

These are very creative! Keep up the sketching and exploration. It's ok to put down lines without knowing if they're going to be the right lines, just keep them very light.

This was fun! I did these before watching the demo, felt like I was improving over time.
And a rough follow-along of Stan's spidey demo, trying to be looser with the lines.

I tried pear #3 again after watching the demo and some critiques, focusing on the shading process and the darker halftones. I find it difficult to shade evenly 😅

Your shading looks pretty even to me!
Nice pear study!
