I got the Drawing Basics course, along with a new gaming pc, and I have an XP-pen 2nd generation drawing tablet on the way, currently drawing with the Wacom Intuous pro tablet. I just started drawing some different stuff, trying to get a feel for drawing on a tablet. I have the following software: Coreldraw 2024, Clip Studio Paint, Davinci Resolve, Wondershare Filmora, and Blender. I am currently on trial period with the following: TVPaint, Moho, and Cartoon Animator 5. I am excited about this journey.

They say that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. Well, the same can be said for my lines. Any tips?
Tip #1- go easy on yourself. I don't think your lines are bad. I like that you are experimenting with different sizes of ellipses too. I'm no drawing teacher but I'll give you a couple of things that have helped me. Whatever speed you are drawing these, slow it down a notch or two. Take a page and work on "ghosting" ellipses. I personally work on ghosting circles too. Use your whole arm and just work on ghosting those shapes with just a single pencil stroke. That practice will help you smooth out your ellipses or any line/shape in general. Keep practicing and don't stop practicing. You're doing great! 👍

I drew the first drawing before watching the demo, and I drew the ones after that after watching the demo.

So I missed the mark on the portrait so I paused the critiques and reworked the portrait with the challenge more in mind. The left eye is still off

Hi everyone,
I found this exercise really interesting and complex. I’ve never done any simplification on a pear or anything similar before, so this was a new experience for me. As you can see in the first picture, I didn't quite understand the assignment initially and ended up copying rather than simplifying. However, after watching Stan's demo, things became clearer. I tried again using what I learned and then a third time on a larger paper (see the last picture for the difference).
I think I need to improve my shading and learn more about planes and how to represent them on paper. What do you think?
