Exercise 1: Bricks

First exercise from the week: bricks of my own imagination. I used HB for the bricks with some light blending to attempt to convey a smooth surface, and 2H for the mortar. Some 2B was applied to the darkest shadows.

I am realizing one of the most challenging things for me is the accurate understanding and depiction of light and shadows. I have google a number of resources to try to learn a bit more about how shadows fall, but still struggling to make the connection.
