I enjoyed the assignment, but I don't think I executed it as well as I could have.
hey, you have well executed assignment. the composition is well arranged and diversified as said in assignment. my favourite one from old man would be the one with circular arc in background, idk but something about that example is making composition look out more and making out balanced contrast. In second exercise I think you need to put some more darks and also some more gradation, because white gaps are visible in lines, could be due to brush texture or you might have tired from doing first one, try when your mind is much free and relaxed.

amazing boost in confidence until critique, right now feeling amazing. This went so well i might do this in acrylic, graphite and markers. Thanks yo. BUT I am short of time due to exams so i might not complete those ones in time. BUT I will try my best to do those asap!!!
It looks really great, super excited to see those other versions if you get the time. Totally understand with exams though -_-

I tried this project twice; once with charcoal on newsprint (1) and then with graphite (2 & 3) .
1. I found that I have a habit of putting values down lighter than they should be and then building them up in layers. Because of this, my quicker studies all look too high-key. Is there is a way to judge the value more accurately right off the bat?
2. I feel that I had less time to fiddle with the edges on the quicker studies, making some of the transitions on those look too abrupt.
3. Especially with the quicker studies, it was hard to shade the halftones cleanly without getting little dark flecks from using slightly uneven pressure. This was especially problematic with the charcoal on newsprint as little rocks in the charcoal pencil kept scratching black flecks into the paper. Is there a way to help deal with those rocks?
I also felt like I made the reflected light on the untimed graphite sphere a bit too light. But I wasn't really sure if it needed to be darker or I had just been staring at my drawing for too long.
I really enjoyed this project. Thanks so much for the demo!
