Hii so here my project. the first pear I did before th demo. The second pear I did as I watch the demo. The bell pepper I did the next day after I watched the critique. i love to hear your thoughts and what I could have done better.

was the person in the video after the pear for level 2 people or both

hey Stan I have a problem with my rubbers maybe case my erasers are old, its a way to come that staff to live again or just buy new ones, when I erase, erase but sometime blurs

maybe is better to select 4 values from the first grey and left white for the bright

I've been working on my mistakes. But the portrait is very hard to simplify, I get lost in the details... In the previous you can see smooth transitions.

Roast me guys, Started today

i still dont really understand how to shade much, but i really do enjoy it more than drawing lol

From left to right is the original project, the demo, and the critique. The difference between the three isn't super crazy, but by the third go I was definitely understanding the process a bit better. Learned a lot from this project, good luck with the next everyone!

From left to right: Before Demo After Demo After Critique Please let me know what you think y'all

There should be a lot of mistakes, don't know how to identify to fix them though. Would love to be critiqued (Also sorry for the bad camera quality)

Tried this assignment with a lemon this time (looking to be critiqued)

My first attempt before watching the demo The second attempt after watching the demo Willing to get critiqued (I did it digitally)

Redoing this course because I got lazy a third of the way through. Hopin to get some feedback (This was made before watching the video)

I'd appreciate any feedback. My 3rd pear, which took a few hours. I'm happy with my impovent in some areas, particularly my control when shading. I pressed too hard on some of the dark parts, but when I did the last pear I couldn't control my strokes at all. They were more like uncontrolled twitches. I've been practicing maintaining control throughout the movement and I think it's really paying off. I'm less happy with my shadow shapes. When blocking out my intitial shadow shape I made some choices I regretted, but had to try and make work. Here are my list of things to work on from the critique: 1. Proportions 2. Flat values 3. Simple shapes 4. Shape design (not symetrical) 5. Rythms 6. Make sure values cover the appropriate range e.g. shadow is dark enough 7. Can choose own value scale e.g. 4 light plus 1 shadow (Still just 5) Edit: Looking at the photo now, I think my dark halftones are too dark. They look more like part of the shadow family.

Second attempt

Did I simplify too much?

another attempt to simplify value after i watch the critique videos, i dont like the clunkiness, but if i squint, it looks kinda cool, so i will defnitely practice again tomorrow

Pear 1 was done before the demo, pear 2 with/after the demo, and pears 3 & 4 after the critique. Although pear 4 was done about a week later since I wasn't able to draw. Wanted to use some fun colors but making sure to keep their values distinct in 3&4. I attached a grey scale version so the values can be seen easier. Open to critique anyone has.
