My first still life...

Drawing Still Life
I began drawing just a few weeks ago and this was my first ever attempt at a still life.
It's interesting to look back at my first one because it is a good way of being able to see how much I have improved over time with practice.
It's not a very interesting picture and I think I should have been far bolder with the shading, but I was quite happy for a first try.
I have also put some drawings in that I have completed since for you to look at. I would welcome your comments, good or bad because it can only help me to improve.
***Note from Kerry:
Sandra, I actually like the way the you have shaded this. Yes, you can get bolder as you progress, but don't you think this looks great as is? I wouldn't touch it.
It's good for you to compare drawings from today to the ones you did when you first started. It gives you the boost you need to continue on and there's nothing wrong with feeling proud of yourself. For the short time you have been drawing, I think that you are doing exceptionally well.
