sketching these were fun, but also challenging with proportions and keeping the lines confident. I would love critique on the line quality!

For my beginner eye, shit that's perfect :) All is on point, and where you had a problem there is next line to it that does the job and still looks clean and with purpose. Exactly as Stan prescribed and as bonus great 3d form showed.

Figure sketches from pinterest references. I should use relife objects and things for the next day
Looks good,I’m not quite sure myself if it’s a requirement to draw these drawings from life although I’ll try to find something to draw I guess.

Redid my pear again after watching the critiques. I made sure to pay attention to the shadows and make them dark enough and give enough space for the lights to have variation

Oh my, I got critique'd. Thank you very much, guess I overthought the exercise it's not easy to keep it simple is it?
I've a question though. This is for Felix's multiple pear platter exercise at the 15 min mark. There's bounce light reflecting from pear to pear which Proko mentioned but still considered it to be "shadow". He then shaded the larger part of the pears in the same value including said bounce light. Is this a stylistic choice? a limitation due to our palette? or is this also part of simplifying?
I'm not quite clear on this.
Thank you very much for showing me what I did wrong in my exercises will definitely do it better soon!
It was limit of palette, since Stan chose to have the background the darkest, he could only shade the shadow area of that pear with the lighter shadow

Redid the portrait and taking the time to nail the proportions made this time a lot better! I still need to work on making even tone and designing my value grouping

Redo of the pear assignment after watching Proko's demo of the pear. Getting the tone even is a challenge. I would love critique on how to make better shape designs!

Another redo of the pear, this came out a lot better once i slowed down and really thought about the shapes and marks I was putting down, getting an even tone is quite the struggle especially with harder pencils

Redid the pear drawing and was better able to have clearer value structure than my first attempt, but the shapes for the darker halftone feel too simple and I could have made a better design with my value shapes overall. This is a really helpful exercise and for my next time I want to convey the form how Stan subtly does with his lines in his pear
These are both excellent. As an absolute novice it is interesting to me that, at first glance, the one on the right looks more realistic and I wonder if that is because the shading is vertical, as opposed to horizontal on the left. Am I right with this do you think? If so, why might that be? Is it because the vertical shading implies that the light source is above? Well done.

I tried one of the pears digitally, which was super helpful in working out the shapes and editing it easily!
This imagine helped me a lot. I wasn't understanding because I feel digitally is a little different than drawing with a pencil. I will give this another go. This is amazing.

Trying the 3 different shapes from level one
- the 2 one is the smoothest but also having trouble with defining the planes
any tips for what direction to shade?
I would say shade in the direction of the form, if not, just the same directional stroke can work too!
