This exercise is way more challenging than it seems. Personally, having to control your shoulder in order to draw smaller shapes is so hard. I definitely did a better job when I tried drawing it larger. Also, the ghosting technique is still a loooong way to me! I struggle with getting the shape right while trying to focus on the ghosting part at the same time.

Hi guys, first attempt at both pics, with digital painting tools. I'd love some feedbacks, especially regarding values! And thanks in advance!

Hey y'all! I really enjoyed this exercise. It was my first time drawing with the intent to simplify a picture. It kinda reminded me of vectorization/image tracing. I'm not sure if I nailed the shadow as it looks a little bit shorter than it should be. Also I tried to add more value to the shiny area on the left but it looks like it has the same value as the two shiny spots on the right (these have the value of the paper itself). Anyway, I didn't want to keep on doing touch ups otherwise I'd be working on this drawing forever! Haha Thx
