If you find yourself getting overwhelmed or frustrated, I think it's a good practice to put it down for a bit and take a break. It's like hitting the reset button. When you come back to it refreshed you may notice something that you didn't before. For having rushed I think this looks great! Would like to see those laces finished. Good luck :)

I had a really hard time simplifying the values into broader shapes, once I watch the demo I might try it again to see if I can get rid of the details. But I also just want to move onto the next exercise and not get stuck here :/
Critique is appreciated, I realize now that I didn't follow the instructions super well about keeping the edges sharp :[ I had started this a couple months ago and needed to set it aside to deal with some IRL stuff, forgot to re-read the instructions to make sure I was doing the exercise as assigned

You did a very lovely portrait here -- it seems like you feel that you've left too much detail in but I think you've done an excellent job with simplification and defining the edges of your value shapes. Definitely keep practicing the concepts in this lesson, but don't feel like you're trapped here. Keep exploring and learning. Good luck :)

My pears before and after the demo! I referenced a pear I had in front of me. After watching the demo I realized that my lighting setup wasn't giving me the dramatic lights and shadows I needed to get a full range of values; I rotated the pear slightly and increased the intensity of the light, so these two images aren't exactly the same. Critique is appreciated!

Before / after demo pear (I rotated the pear and adjusted my lighting setup after watching the demo to give myself more dramatic shadows to work with). Can I get critique?

Hello! This is my first attempt of the level 2 before the demo. I would like advice on how I could improve this drawing.
It looks like you drew too this too small to be able to pack the forms in that the exercise would like you to practice. I can see that you were thinking about shapes and values with good accuracy, but to make it easier on yourself and on those giving critique, try to draw each piece at least 15x15 cm (6x6 inch) so you have plenty of room to articulate shapes and to let the audience view these shapes. Otherwise, solid work!

My first ever sketch of a fruit (vegetable) was a complete failure(?) Honestly, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing during the entire process lol.
There are lots of moments in art where you approach a subject just to realize you're in over your head -- the attempt you make during these moments marks the start of your learning! You followed the assignment well and put clear effort in, which is the most important aspect of this exercise. Great work!
