My second attempt at shading in a figure drawing, I don't think it's as good as my first, feels flatter and the lines aren't as clear, it's kinda "muddy"? Any advice appreciated! I'll include my early line art and the reference photo.

First time trying to shade in a figure drawing with pencil! It's way harder than it looks xD Would love any and all feedback!

Hey Emma, nice job for being your first time. I would recommend checking out the shading assignments here on Proko of shading an egg and a pear. You do not necessarily have to pay for the full course if you are a starving artist like most of us, lol! Try starting with a simple shape with a singular light source. I would give more advice, but I too am just now learning to add tone to my drawings. Hope this helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vapw6n6FyU&list=PLnSiPyMK9PTyRitLtaj6JIbRF5LttP6Mz&index=132 https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/the-perfect-egg/assignments

Any advice for my Giraffe would be greatly appreciated! It feels really wobbly and wonky... (Ignore my terrible snail I did prior to seeing Stan demo how to actually do the assignment)

This was real hard, but challenging in a good way!! Would love some feedback, not fully able to parse why some of the shapes don't truly feel "real" or weighty as if it were really there in the space.

These look great to me. Only thing I notice is that one leg looks a little awkward. It would probably turn back the other way unless you want to move the whole leg further back in space.
