Hello, it's me again, asking for your honest feedback on my current hatching skills. The reason for asking here is to receive honest feedback, meaning no sugarcoating, thanks.
I have no one to ask about this because people around me tend to sugarcoat their feedback.
Your understanding of form is pretty good! For the hatching I think you could go darker on your value, the first and last pic of the lemon and avocado has of bit of that going on but you can always go darker. Don’t be afraid to press down the heck out of your pencil.
Drawing #7 the bottle‘s shading is the same value as the background making it hard to see the gap between the bottle and the fruit. So when you look at the artwork from far away everything is blending together because it all shares a similar shade. However I do think the composition for this one is really strong.
Overall your observation skill is pretty good I‘d suggest drawing a Value Scale working up from your darkest dark to the white of the paper. And in the Value Scale you can try out different methods of shading as an exercise. If you’d like to challenge yourself learning how to draw with charcoal is something art classes always force their students to learn to.
honestly? theyre pretty good!!! maybe when shading bigger areas (ie the bg of the avocados) make the lines closer to each other. thats the only critique i can rlly give bc ur doing rlly well. you seem to understand the way light works, and how to hatch accordingly. truly these look super pretty !!! just keep doing what ur doing bc ur doing it well!
