added comment inDemo - Simplify Portrait from Observation
Through working on this assignment, I realized there are many things I need to study. The teacher's explanations while drawing helped me learn the thought processes necessary for creating artwork. However, both of my drawings ended up looking nothing like the model. I want to improve my ability to capture proportions accurately. Additionally, I found it very challenging to differentiate values, so I need to practice more to get better at this. Although I painted carefully, the result still looks uneven and messy. Therefore, I also want to practice hatching to achieve smoother and cleaner strokes. I would appreciate any feedback you could provide.

こんにちは。デモを見る前の最初の課題です。よろしくお願いします。
My first two attempts at the level 1 pear before watching the demo.
😀👋🙌, nice work, My constructive take on the pears is that #1 before demo was beautifuly done, & the tone variation in pear #2, was also well done...What helped me with the placement of the shadows and highlights was 😆 squinting here and there😁. With that being said, my suggestion would be: If you combine 1#'s eloquent execution with 2#s tonal variations... 🤔I think that combo would improve the overall feel & visual effect of the sketch/drawing to grab the viewers attention.
Keep up the practice & nice work. you've 🔥inspired🔥 me as well.
🙌Thank you.🙌
I like it. Even before the demo I think you did a great job. You should try the portrait, too.
On pear 2, I think you could've simplified the main shadow on the pear. While referencing the original photo, I don't see that many squares in the bottom left. It looks more like a straight line to me. I think the shading to the right of the shadow on the pear could be darker; you have some of those areas almost as light as the highlights. I see more of a gradient of dark to light running left to right.
Great work though. I love how careful and well done your shading is. Your lines are also bold and I really like that. Again, would love to see how you would tackle the portrait.
Be well,
Alan
