Would appreciate any constructive criticism on my snails! I did it three times, once before watching the demo, once with the demo, and once after the demo.

Very nice. I think using markers is a good way to study values. It forces you into simplifying your values and asking the right questions.

Thank you! Yes, the markers have been a great tool for quicker studies as well, graphite shading is a good skill, but it isn't great for knocking out a lot of drawings back-to-back, at least for me (also makes turning the pages a pain unless you want to spray fixative on each page).

So I have drawn as a hobby for a little while, which is why I am doing the portrait studies as well, but I lack practice in values. I had fun doing the thumbnails with markers so after the pear and before the portrait I did a lot of 5 value studies (dark-dark, light-dark, dark-mid, light-mid, and highlight). I attempted the portrait three times, once without watching the video and twice after.

The second one is pretty good. One reason is because you added some of the background value. This helps you understand the other values because you have something to compare them to. Good job :)
