Really like the line quality and energy of your gesture drawings! I guess my only critique is that the bean drawings are very small and don't seem to have that energy to them.

Hi @Martin, nice drawings! The shading looks really cool😎 - You might want to try to use the shading to communicate the structure more clearly. At the moment the structure feels a little "dreamy" and unclear. Many important transitions in the structure have been washed away with soft edges. Think of how the eye is built and try to communicate that with your shading. Perhaps you would have to start the drawing by lightly figuring out the structure, which you then shade. Especially look for plane breaks, especially those that switch from one part to another (eyelid to eye socket for example). It might be a fun challange to shade something starting with only hard edges, so that you get a chiseld sculpture typ of look, then soften the transitions that you intentionally want to be soft. Think about what you want to communicate to the viewer. Think about what you want them to see. Can you make them understand all the structure of the eye? (drawing exercise) Or maybe you choose to leave out certain things and accentuate others to tell a story? I hope this helps :)

To my eyes, these have a more cohesive, fluid quality than your previous assignment, I think they hang together better as drawings, so, well done! Its not easy to make improvements to ones drawing technique. Whatever it is you're doing differently - keep going with it, keep developing it - find a technique that works for you
