Starting to draw still life object studies, looking for feedback.
7:01 AM, Thursday December 23rd 2021
After taking some time off post 250 box challenge, I've been trying something new while working my way through lesson 2. I wanted to do a still life each day for 30 days because I thought it would be a fun way to gauge how much I improved over that period of time. It's been going pretty well so far, and I can see some minor improvements, but I would like to get some feedback as well as some advice on something. I can get the form of the object down decently well, but when it comes to the more detailed parts of the object and shading/lighting, there's a lot to be desired. Taking more time on my shading helped a bit while drawing the lime, the most recent of the bunch, but I know I could still improve quite a bit. Are there any good techniques/approaches on shading in pencil? Is it something that will just take time and practice? Am I looking into this more than I should? Is it all of the above? Thanks in advance, I appreciate any advice or just any general feedback!
