Second try after watching the demo, digital.

I accidentally painted the shadow of the shirt with the shadow color initially, so it needs to be fixed. For those drawing digitally, one option might be to turn off pen pressure.

Hello. I'm getting different results between the demo and when I set the value to 5 at https://www.proko.com/values. Which result should I consider correct and use for drawing?

My digital drawing, before watching the demo.

Here is my drawing before watching the demo. I really was enjoying the process and I am happy with the end result. I will try later to draw along with video.

Here is my first attempt at the level two portrait. I know I do need to do draw bigger. I have a bad habit of drawing small but can someone please give brutal feedback particularly on the shading?

Here are my attempts at simplifying the provided images. This is my first time doing an in-depth value simplification, so there's bound to be errors. One thing I noticed after looking closely at the photos, was that the pencil rendering is a bit on the rough side. This is most likely because I used rougher paper and also because I have a habit of drawing too small. Additionally, I believe there are discrepancies within my interpretation of the values themselves. In the portrait, the reflected light on the jaw appears distracting and out of place. Also, in hindsight, I should have simplified and grouped the clothing values. In the end, I'm proud of the fact that I managed to step out of my comfort zone, but I also strive to learn from my mistakes in future studies. If anyone has critiques or suggestions, please comment them down below. I'd love to hear what others might have to say.

Still trying to get the hang of working digitally, but pretty happy with how it turned out! The nose was a struggle.

Portrait level-2 done, but I struggled with shading the halftone and light halftone. Keep working on it. By the way, actually i was surprised when shading. My eyes kept ajusting everytime i was darkening the hair and the shadow. It was like an illusion. Definitely loved the first assignement. I had fun.

attempt on the portrait. Definitely much harder to see the shades

My second attempt after demo, feedback welcome

Here’s my version. I think I will make a second attempt after watching the demo

My portrait! It was a fun drawing session.

Sorry I just realized I put my portrait drawing under the wrong video. I think this turned out decently well, but I think I definitely could've simplified this more.

My portraits before and after watching the demo. I do think the second attempt came out better - particularly the proportions. However, I did so much erasing that my shapes ended up being a bit blurry some places and the values not as consistent as I had hoped for.

Outside of properly placing facial features, I can 100% work on making cleaner shading and how to properly shade half tones. Altogether though I'm not too disappointing with the final result!

So, that’s my portrait! I know I didn’t finish the shirt, but I was too excited to share the drawing. I think there are many things wrong with it: first, the lines aren’t exactly reproduced (my man has a big head, doesn’t he?), and the values might not be right. I’m waiting for your feedback! ;)

First drawing - done! it was fun
