added comment inHow to Shade a Drawing
Asked for help
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!

I think I struggled with this more than any other assignment so far, would love some advice : )

For this one I followed along at the start, but then went off on my own without Stan's demo for later parts. Kinda wonky looking, especially with the arms, but I tried!

Welp... I tried xD Can't say they are amazing though. Feedback would be great! I keep getting the depth of the boxes wrong more than anything I think

Ooof!! For 1 and 2, I draw as Stan drew. This time I drew by myself with just the reference photo, and then watched Stan afterwards. Much harder than "following along." My drawing doesn't feel as "structural" as Stan's did in the end, so any feedback to that would be super helpful! Was I too focused on "contours"?

Any feedback on my draw along with Stan would be super appreciated! This was very stressful!

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.
