Asked for help
I had a bit of a hiatus from art in 2024 after some burnout, so I was hoping the Drawing Basics course would help me refocus and get the rust off to get back to learning. I ended up drawing all 4 to really get an understanding of the exercise. Definitely felt like I loosened up! Posting ahead of watching the demos, as a baseline, so let me know if there's any feedback or areas for improvement. Thank you!

Great job on all of them, especially Pear #1 and your portrait! The only feedback I'd give would be to maybe lighten the shading under the left eye on the portrait so as to make it more distinct from the darker areas (such as the hair, right side of the face, etc.)
great job on the shapes as well as the shading. I also like how you showed the gradations in the shadow; that was a really nice touch.
The proportions and shadow area on the pear are great! The cast shadow by the pear in your drawing isn't quite the same shape as the reference, so it may be helpful to go back through on that part. Also, in the reference, we can see where the stem inserts into the pear, but your drawings perspective makes it appear like it is coming from behind, This could be a good spot to bring it forward and add those details. Nice work!
