First is pre-demo, second is post-demo. One part I struggle with is getting the desired values with my pencils. 4B, 2B, and HB all seem very similar with the same amount of pressure. 6B easily standing out as darkest, and 2H as lightest, but getting good in between values is difficult, but I will hopefully get better with practice. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

First attempt, just watched the demo can’t wait to try again.

this is watching the lesson ....

Here is my attempt at the level 2 project.

First attempt without reviewing the observation video and the second is working alongside it. The first was primarily done with an HB pencil and the second was a combination of H, HB, and 2B. Definitely want to continue practicing this more and work on my control better.

all i had was a blue col erase at the time also some critique on the side for myself

Here are my attempts at the firsts project. Will be attempting the level 2 tonight. Input is appreciated. Thank you!

Here’s my attempt at the pear in the video. Done with just a 2H to see what my limits are with that pencil. Definitely want to try again with a range of pencils. Have fun everyone!

Pear on left is after watching demo and pear on the right is on my own. Oh and I didn't have a 2B pencil so I just used the B for the entire drawing. Would love feedback!

These are my pears. First, my reference picture, then my first attempt, and then my second attempt after watching the demo. If anyone out there could take some time, I would LOVE some feedback!

Hello everyone Beginner artist here any critiques on my work would be extremely helpful

Hello and nice to meet you, here is my drawings, Good day everyone : )

Seeing the lighting edges is so difficult haha

Hi there! The right is my first attempt at the simplify from observation project, the left was after watching the demo video. I made a few changes that I think did help! I initially held back from using multiple pencils for some reason, and with that I think my values suffered. Happy for any other critique!

My third attempt at drawing the reference image. I really enjoyed identifying the shapes through straight lines. But I think I should've paid more attention to the where the curves start/end in relation to the rest of the pear's features and opposing curve. And now watching Stan, I see there's no dark value on the right side.

Started to learn how to draw, I think the shape of the pear is not that bad, but the shadow of the pear is very bad....

Beginner drawer here, this is the pear demo exercise. The first image was my drawing after watching the demo video. The second is my reference image and the third is my drawing before watching the pear demo video. Hope someone critiques my drawings :)

First attempt prior to watching the demo overall I really liked it but I really messed up on the stem it looks wrong in multiple ways.

I think i messed up the second drawing with the background, i changes directions, on the right side... but, I'm happy with it for my first drawings!
