Did a few drawing at first, but thought I could do better, so did another page. Still some mistakes, but a fun exercise!

Marshall was right, I do suck!

I definitely started this project with values that were too light. Once I established my value range, I focused on slowly adjusting my darkest lights and lightest darks. I think this helped reign in my impulses to just blast my page with graphite. Finished with the shadows then the highlight as the cherry on top. Throughout the whole drawing I felt that my eye was getting more in tune with the subtleties of values in light side of the sphere, something I found I’ve rarely focused on. Watching the Lambert’s Cosine Law helped me realise this!

I found this assignment was great for making me ignore the details and just focus on the shape design for the different compositions.

May have spent too much time on details, I'll have to simplify my next attempts!

Had a few ideas but ended up going with a Celtic knot design, which I found was a fun and easy way to get used to using the tools!

Here is my attempt at level 1. Tried finding values between my previous attempts in order try and train my eye. Also tried different pencil types and started from each end of the value scale.

Here are the first two models of the assignment at level 1! I tried giving myself some quick critiques, planning on doing the rest of the models. Great exercise!

Here are my level one torso boxes. I feel like I could maybe be a bit more dynamic with some of my poses, a fun exercise I'd like to try doing with other form shapes!
