Snapshot of drawings from the last 2 weeks!

Just a little shot of some things I’ve been practicing. All drawn in pencil (ive told myself if I use up all my graphite pencils, as a reward I’m allowed to buy the mechanical pencil Stan recommends 😃 but only then!)
Any thoughts? What have you drawn this week?
Good work, @Mia D ! You’ve done a lot in the past two weeks. Your graphite work has a really nice feel to it, and I think Marshall’s Perspective course is going to help you bring even more drama to your work (like you have in the building at the top).
How many pencils do you have to go through? I like the idea of incentives, but you have a tool that is working well for you. Couldn’t you have both, so you still have a backup that is great even if you don’t love the mechanical pencil?
(I have nothing for show and tell this week - just daily hours and hours of shading practice - work for my lessons - and puddles of tears 😭.) Really looking forward to seeing what you do next!
Thank you Teresa! This is really encouraging. I'm gonna try to get into the habit of posting what i've done each week.
You raise a good point. I try not to overbuy anything, so I always try to use up everything I have and get a bit nervous buying new things. I have twelve pencils to get through so it will be a while :D although i'm nearly at the end of my beloved 2B today. I reckon i'll buy it and if I don't get along with it, I'll give it as a gift to my friend and stick to pencils. They certainly are cheaper!
Hours and hours of shading practice sounds a bit arduous, remember to schedule some fun drawings for yourself too! I got a bit overwhelmed with exercises last week so this week I'm drawing cats, haha.
