My Value studies. I found it quite useful to start thinking in values

Hello all.. Submitting my boxes..I found this exercise quite tough and found really difficult to do Level 2..Will wait fo rthe demo to attempt that. Not really satisfied with what I. have done , but I have been labouring on it for 3 days..and this is the best I could do!

I initially started with pencil and paper and then wanted to try on procreate . The first tries were more difficult that I thought, but got ever so slightly easier !!! Finally I tried the portrait..Something seems off with the proportions though could not figure out what it was. Maybe I ended up overworking some areas. I have tried to keep in mind the idea of just doing enough to communicate the shapes and form using values.
