added comment inProject - Organizing Line Weight
Asked for help
First attempt. Wanted to make heavier lines where they are in the “shadows” but I also wanted to emphasize the horns but I guess some parts got out of control, like at the back part and the legs.
Any criticism in other areas would be appreciated!

Hey Nicole,
first of all, I think your Rhino looks great! I really like the added lineweight at the folds of the front legs highlighting the shadows of the skinfolds as well as the added lineweight on the neck.
I don't know the reference image, so I'm just guessing here, but I think if you would have put a bit more variation in the outline of the horns or maybe not even completely outlined them, they would fit in a bit more nicely, Especially around the base of the horns.
Hope this helps and keep up the great art :)
Cheers!

So, this is my first attempt at the first project (Level 1).
On the bottom of the final image, i made some notes for myself in the future of what i tried to think about or incorporate during the drawing process, to me, this helps as a kind of review of what I think went well and what didn't.
One gripe I have with the image is that the darker halftone is hard to distinguish from the lighter one, but I think that is due to the pencil I had (think its an HB, the back is a bit unclear about that).
Compared to the demonstration, I think my lines aren`t light enough yet. I also realized, I believe I made a mistake in my shading process. I blocked out the different shadows and tones before filling them in with their respective value, in contrast to what Stan did in the demonstration.
I'm not sure if it is a mistake or not, but I'll try the demonstrated method the next time I do another still life drawing for sure (probably tomorrow lol).
Cheers!
