I tried to make those changes. I hope it gets better, maybe I should have done more but in fact I could not cancel.
maybe I had to do it at an earlier stage.

I tried to darken it more, I hope it is better.
for shading I confessed to have used other 2 I found on google (a drawing for hatching, I tried to follow it a lot during shading).
thanks for seeing it. a warm greeting

I am really happy for your words, for appreciation for my attempt and for this kind of practice that yes, I want to practice more, I am very happy then that you recommend this.
In fact when 2, 3 years ago, when I thought that I wanted to learn as much as possible to draw, I thought that one of the subjects, of the reasons why I wanted to draw, was being able to do chiaroscuro also to carry out a study in chiaroscuro
of the works, drawings and artists I love,
both because I find it nice to design something that I appreciate (have one more reason to admire very beautiful drawings, spend more time with these) and maybe be able to learn a little bit of drawings that I love a lot. for this but also because in the meantime I could improve if in fact it was a recommended practice.:wave:

David, thank you so much for your words, I am very pleased about that.
David wanted to tell you that after having seen posts and information on sharpening your charcoal and macrobertson (including the images on sharp pencils) a ten days ago I finally thought of buying blades (a pack of 5 disposable blades) to use them for sharpening . I started to sharpen a pencil count now and I wanted to say that removing the wood, sharpening is much simpler, less tiring so I will be comfortable. Thanks again

(in a few days I think I’ll try again with charcoal and I will use this, maybe I’ll wait a little bit because for about 6 months I had disconnected a bit with coal for a kind of small allergy to my eyes (even if I don’t know if it really hit coal but I preferred to wait a little, however I will soon take it again, in a few days so maybe in the time I take some sheets a little bigger and maybe finer sandpaper because I took a block sold for pencils but compared to the first one I used I can’t to use it because it seems rougher to me so I’d like to look for another one)

Excuse me so much

In my message of
06-17-2019, 10:00 AM I was convinced that I had pasted, posted the photo with the changes I had made,

I had tried to modify the leg as suggested to me by
123harry (although I had already trod a lot and was unable to cancel much)
And then I tried to obscure (tried to improve some shading)

For some reason I wrote what I did but without the photo, sorry.

I apologize very much, I only noticed it now, without the photo what I wrote about the changes made no sense and I lost time in vain with that post, sorry,
sorry that I wanted so much to let you see a more recent picture of the drawing and to know if it was better, I hope you can see it now also this photo even if I apologize so much for having made you lose more time.

Llawrence I hope you can and you will also want to see this picture and maybe tell me if it goes a little better this way even if what you said I will try to put it into practice more in the next drawings, thank you very much for your suggestion (criticisms are incredibly useful and shading then it is one of the things where the forum really helps me a lot) that I will follow so also to start on the details only after having taken care, completed initial phase, phase with simple forms.
I’m glad you also talked about blocks, spheres, cylinders, cones. Because in the last few months they were the thing I had thought of trying more (Concentrating more) with shading (shading is always something I find very difficult) and as another topic my head., On the basic forms I think I’ll try so much more to improve, give us importance.

Heartfelt thanks to all for patience, for help and for having seen.

David thank you so much for your words.

yes, I will practice
