Hey everyone! This is my first assignment and my first drawing in quite a while. I'm actually really happy with how it turned out! I'd love to hear feedback on this piece!

This was tougher than I thought it would be 😅, any critique?

Hello everybody! Here I have my first assignment and my first drawing in a really long time. I actually feel quite happy about it! I'm looking forward to watch the demo and critics of this assignment and trying again. Should I post the next try here? See you!

我尝试用带有方向的线条来模拟纹理，为什么画出来没有立体的效果，反而很乱

Tried doing the project again after watching the demo. Definitely better than all the random doodles I've made over the years. Personally feels like I could do a better job matching the shape, and the shadows look a bit off... Would love for some feedback!

I took the feedback from my previous post and watched the demo, so I attempted to do the pear drawing again (different picture this time since the example used a different picture). I think I did a better job thanks to imagining the pear as a low-polygon 3D shape, but I think I may have taken too many creative liberties with this drawing (the horizontal shadow across the pear I think didn't make sense but it helped me think of the pear as two blocky shapes on top of one another).

I feel satisfied with how they both turned out. I can see a lot of errors particularly with proportions. If anyone has feedback, I’d love to hear it!

Hello everyone! I got the course a few days ago and was so excited to start my first assignment. I think the shadows need more work, but I'd love any critique to help me improve. Looking forward to your feedback! :)

not sure if i did level 2 correctly, any critique?

Just got the course tonight because I truly want to prove to myself I can achieve my dreams of improving at art! Here's my three pears to be submitted. Hoping to do it daily along with fun drawings on the side! I appreciate any words and critiques on my interpretations! Thank you~!

Hi everyone, just bought the course today after reading an article about how I need to be productive and practice something. So yeah, this was my first attempt at Project 1. I think I focused my attention on the brown spots on the pear too much, which then led me to using six values instead of five because I made brown its own separate colour and couldn't figure out which on the value scale it belonged to. At some point I think I forgot part of the instructions for the project so please let me know if I skipped a step or rule.

Hey everyone, what's the etiquette with uploading reference pics from eg Google images? Unrelated but attached pic is what I drew for my wife's birthday card. She's the dead looking squirrel with our youngest girl astride her :D

First time trying this. Will probably try again once I watch the demo. The bumpiness of the fruit threw me for a loop as well so I’ll probably use a smoother fruit also.

Hi, Dont know if i should make lines for this assignments less sloppy (from the distant, without my glasses it look good, as on the image :D) . Shadow for pear 2 was more difficult then others.

So, this is my first attempt at the first project (Level 1). On the bottom of the final image, i made some notes for myself in the future of what i tried to think about or incorporate during the drawing process, to me, this helps as a kind of review of what I think went well and what didn't. One gripe I have with the image is that the darker halftone is hard to distinguish from the lighter one, but I think that is due to the pencil I had (think its an HB, the back is a bit unclear about that). Compared to the demonstration, I think my lines aren`t light enough yet. I also realized, I believe I made a mistake in my shading process. I blocked out the different shadows and tones before filling them in with their respective value, in contrast to what Stan did in the demonstration. I'm not sure if it is a mistake or not, but I'll try the demonstrated method the next time I do another still life drawing for sure (probably tomorrow lol). Cheers!

i feel like my shading could be better

I did this exercise a while back now and am redooing some of the earlier lessons, gotta say it was much clearer the second time around and I can feel improvement even though I have only got a short way further in the course. Also trying digital this time

1st attempt values are darker because of using charcoal pencil. 2nd attempt is graphite. 3rd photo i made the shapes a bit darker looking at it again. This was definitely a challenge and I would love any feedback! Thank you!
