These are my second attempts. I also changed the lighting angle in the first linework. Not quite sure how I did, so I would be happy to get a comment on the work I did 👀👀
Wow! This is lovely! Also very clean foreground, midground and background. What did you use as your reference?

So here is my level one assignment. I am really not sure about how I did, after watching demo I am planning to do level 2. Struggled with line drawing a lot this time and with light and shadows I found a few situations where technically the outline is supposed to be in light, as the shape it attaches to is lit, but it is right at the edge for strong shadow. I am unsure of what to do in these situations. Do I treat these areas as if they are in shadow? In work I attached I did them as if they are in light, but it felt wrong..?
Also, I would like to have some feedback on the quality of my lines and lineweight. I want to know how good or bad they came out, because I really can't feel or understand them...

There is my practice! Hope I got the idea correctly, because ngl I surprised myself with how well my short straight lines came out. Next time I do the exercises probably going to make my straights longer

I have watched others submissions and felt like I need to turn just a simple bat into something more interesting. So I came up with this spider-bat. I think it is adorable, although still in doubt about whether I got the assignment right. Going to watch the demo next and find out

There is my attempt!! Glad I watched the video more than once, because I was about to get into contours and not the shapes.

I found the excercise quite challenging, after I did my first snail, so I decided to continue with the boots. Spent a lot of time on them, because boots almost always are my curse, although after that I felt courageous enough to try camel, ngl felt a lot easier than the boots haha.

I am thrilled to begin my learning journey here with this course finally!! Same pear, soon going to try different pictures provided. The first pic is the one I did before the demo, and the second is the one after. Found myself struggling with seeing the difference between cast shadow and pear bottom where they meet, and I am still unsure if I got them right. What should I do next time I have this problem? Would like to get some advice on what to do next time I have the same struggle and some critique maybe? Thank you!

Great improvement! There's definitely more control over both your medium and design. When it comes to the difference between the pear bottom and the cast shadow, this can be where your eye for simplification makes a decision for the exact point of division. Sometimes, the bottom of the object will be dark enough that it can be simplified into part of the cast shadow. I would suggest allowing the 2D shapes/values that you see have more influence on the decision rather than knowing exactly what object physically begins where and when, when it comes to simplifying values. It can even help to try this exercise with the image blurred (or by squinting your eyes), so that you get an idea for what the 2D abstracted image looks like, instead of the literal object. Hope this helps! :)
