Hi Β dear Valery, I really appreciate an artist like you are commenting and giving me advice, I am honored...gosh...!!Thank uou very much for taking of you time to write this!
I haven't trashed it yet but I have started over with another one of the same reference. It was a great mistake to do the background and it becomed really messy for me. I will not do the background until the figures are finished... or almost finished. I used wrong pencils to the background and to big strokes..I must work with smaller moves and really slow..lol...I want to draw realism so I will try to be patient..I did the shapes and shadowing pretty okay..so it was not fun when I did the background and found out what a mess it becomed.Β
I will absolutely check that link, it looks awesome...i am looking at youtube all the time..lol..and also here on dA...Thank you again, amazing to have feedback from an artist as you..wow

Aww, and it's Beverly...although Valery is a nice name too
Aw hun, you are most welcome...I see huge potential and that's why I commented the way I did 
To be honest, it's all in how much pressure you use to draw...light pressure=light marks, heavy pressure=heavy marks! Β Small circular or oval strokes is key in blending, you won't get variances in going from one value to another, you will get smooth transitions! The heavier the shadow, the heavier your strokes will be etc. Β I use a very good quality mechanical pencil like those architects/draughtsman use, most graphite artists do because they can create both the lighter values and darker values/tones, also they are self sharpening!
Observation is key when your drawing or painting, and in everyday life. Β If you look at the fine details of anything, you are observing..."seeing" what is there, NOT what you think is there...this is THE most important thing to keep telling yourself when you draw!! Can't stress that enough!! Β View the negative and positive shapes (what shapes are between objects as well as around them), the tones and values of the shadows and lights etc. Β
Well that's enough lesson today LOL
