This my homework for 
The topic of this week was values, something I struggle with massively. Doing those homework exercises were really hard for me, which should tell me that I really should do them more!
Portrait 1
Portrait 2
Portrait 3
I did the first two pictures without the line-step, but those were really hard and I didn't feel like I handled the features right. So I tried the simple-line thing for the third portrait, it made things easier but I wasn't sure how dark I should go with all those values.
All in all it was pretty rough for me to decide how clean I should render those and what point of "rough" is okay... so yeah. Really unsure what I did.
I painted those Still Lifes from objects standing beside me, I sadly have no photos for those.
Still Life 1
Still Life 2
I forgot to take screenshots of the pig in the beginning, I didn't use lines first just made a big round white orb and went from there.
The most important realization I had while painting these is that I really had to do them more... :)
