added comment inProject - Simplify from Observation
Asked for help
I've been keeping with this simplifying assignment, trying to do one in a week (do I have to go to work if I don't want to? I want to spend my time drawing!). This week for reference I took on fan art. Looove Tyrion :D. I'm posting here the reference I used, the plan I made following Stan's demo instructions, and the drawing.
I've learned that I love the planning part of the process. It's giving instruction to myself, and once I start drawing I know better what to do, and I notice mistakes faster and easier. This simplifying exercise is not perfect, but I think it's kind of good! Heading to the right direction, at least. The hair is messy and too complicated, I should've paid more attention to it, the nose is still a little too short, There's too much detail overall, and the values could be more clear. However, I'm happy with more simplifyed shapes, since "too detailed" has been (and is) my challenge to overcome.
I've made a note to only use straight lines, in my plan, but before I knew it, I was drawing the eyes and thinking about wrinkles on the cheek, and what not details. Result: proportions, the big shapes, were way off. I'm rather proud of myself that instead of starting over, I went in and fixed what I could - and finished it. It took double the time, but I'm really happy I did it. Yay! I think I'll try and tweak this a little digitally tomorrow, and see what can be done to clean it up.
All critique / advice / thoughts are much appreciated :).

Critique:
*rely less on outlining to define your plane shifts.
*The small highlights of the hair are too close to your face highlight.
*Don't worry too much about getting the proportions right, you did a great job capturing Tyrion's likeness.
*The very small darks/highlights make the hair look messy and if takin out would help draw the attention of the viewer back to the face.
//I hope this helped in some way :)

Man portfolio:
definitely took more time then the pear :D
Any Critiques would be nice.
nice job! be careful with the outlining; you have a little bit in the lighter areas of the pear. Otherwise, you've done a good job with even tone and using the shading direction to wrap around the pear.

Pear Homework sketch.
Any Critique would be much appreciated. Any ideas? :D
These look pretty nice, especially the third one.
Be careful about outlining (you've done a bit on the first and second) and make sure to practice even tone.
I love you you've used the stroke direction of your shading to help show the roundness of the pear.
