Attempt at 5 value, “block” in with sharp edges. Angles not quite as angular as I thought. Does smoother paper (with less tooth) help with drawing edges and make value differentiation easier? Had to step away and come back to drawing, wondering if my eyes were actually seeing accurately with subtlety of value shifts.

Followed along with the demo with a different pear.

Demo

1st. After demo 2nd. Before demo

PEARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (any criticism is most appreciated😁)

first 2 are before the demo. Second one is after. I think I did the shading better. I could have done the lightest halftone cleaner if I'd used an 2H pencil instead of trying to be consistently light with the HB. That consistent lightness and not leaving any gaps is difficult. I think I did better than the first one. I chose to simplify the shadow into one color. I think proportions were better on my second one. Bottom right needs to be adjust though. This is a challenging exercise. Hopefully I did better... Not sure.

Here's my post-demo pear, I think I really should've made the light half-tone, a bit darker, it's even harder to see on camera than on paper.

Here’s my pear post-demo. I noticed besides proportions I need to work on even filling and making sharp edges.

An old timers first attempt.

Hey there everyone! I'm new to the community here. This is my attempt on the Pear

My attempt

Hi everyone, my first attempt, I haven't drawn for a quite some time, and was really having fun, determined to keep going))

1st attempt, and 2nd attempt after watching the demo

First attempt pre demo

Second attempt at the pear after watching the demo.

Críticas construtivas são sempre bem-vindas. 🤗

Here is my attempt at the pear. Feedback is appreciated.

Tried a few times with different pears. Last one is after watching the solution. Had a few additional issues with my digital approach but worth it. I enjoyed this puzzle.

These are my notes following along with the demo for the pear.
