Here are mine +2 foxes I did for fun. I like shapes!

Drawing along was so fun, spent some good hours on this one, and I loved all the tips given, specially the one on the textured paper background.

I've been drawing a lot in my sketchbook lately, so decided to go with pencil on this Peter Han's study.
I had a lot of fun doing this one, although seeing it close like that after taking a picture I can see a bunch of imperfections that were not apparent when I drew it, which makes me wander if I should start drawing with my head closer to the paper of maybe just vary its distance. Maybe that's what people mean when they say you should use your head when drawing?
This is a strong attempt. My advice for your head position is, you want to have a straight-on view of your drawing. You can accomplish this by either looking straight down on it while working, or prop it on angled board in front of you. If you draw on a flat desk the drawing will tend to warp since the top of the paper is further from you. I would recommend periodically looking straight down or ahead on your drawing from time to time to check if your drawing is warping. Just make sure not to strain your back or neck.

Here are mine, on the shadow one I notice the difference between the thin and thick lines came out too subtle.

Tyger, tyger burning bright (still can't believe paws are almost as hard to draw as hands)

Drawing laces may have been one of the most traumatic experiences in my life, so much I couldn't bring myself to finish the other boot, hopefully the demo video offer some tips on how to better tackle that so I can return to it with a better state of mind :)

Great job for trying out those laces! Your lines are super clean :)

I regret a little my reference (https://unsplash.com/photos/grayscale-photo-of-woman-in-black-shirt-_hQfqHt0MTg) of choice since the lights and shadows looks so blurry, but straining my eyes did help immensely. I used the lasso tool so my edges wouldn't bleed over all over each other, but I have to admit it felt a bit like cheating, also I felt like II was more meticulous with my thumbnail than necessary.

My post-correction pear. I tried to be more mindful of proportions and gauge the different shadow values this time, but I couldn't for the life of me differentiate the mid-shadows Proko spoke of.
I noticed I'm having some difficulty keeping my edges sharp when painting digitally, so any types on that regard are deeply appreciated.
Also, thank you Rachel for the process drawing, it really helped in figuring out what values to use.
Hii! :) I think it narrowing down the values to 5, would help you figure out the shadows easier. Here I think you are using 6, and the more they are the easier is to get lost :)) Another thing, that helped me a lot, and might also be useful for you is the order in which you put them down. I don't know which order you chose, but going in with the 2nd darker value and then the black, will help you focus on the bigger picture, and not get lost in the little details, or at least it did for me. Also, there are also some nice tips in the critique video too, where he discusses this issue, check it out if you haven't already :D Regards!

Here are the ones I did before watching the reviews. Level 2 felt desperately hard, so much I forgot some of their hair, guess I'll make sure to clear up the pear level next time lol

This is a great start. I like that you have the value swatches on the side to keep things organized.
Here’s a process drawing I made to help a student last week. Maybe it can help you too.
You want to simplify things as much as possible for this exercise.
Keep it up! I’m excited to see more.
