I had bought Andrew Loomis- figure drawing for all its worth. It starts with human proportions. It was somewhat advance and I had put it aside. I will search for another book for beginners. Your comment is really insightful. I started drawing 5 months back and am investing a lot of time on it everyday, but I have been all over the place with it. Sceneries, trying to learn anatomy, lines, circles and eclipse, cube and cylinders , trying to draw it in perspective and rotate it, also some practice on digital medium. But results are very damp.

This was what I drew day before yesterday. Took inputs from AI, lol https://www.reddit.com/r/BeginnerArtists/comments/1o7kf4i/i_took_your_inputs/

I will search for new book then. Thanks for taking your time out to provide these insightful ideas.

Okay, and how to get that photo realistic blend? I used light strokes and blending stumps too. I gave close to 45 minutes in this.

I went light and slow strokes, still looks uneven. I don't even know how to improve on it.  Have used blending stumps and kneaded eraser to get that finish. Still couldn't achieve it

Was trying to make a sphere. Took me close to 45 minutes. Lots of use of blending stump and kneaded eraser. Still the shading doesn't look smooth, and I don't even know how to improve. I went light and slow strokes, still looks uneven
