So I started drawing basic shapes after useing the shading. I essientially drew alot of my images with a penciled outline and then shading it to give it value. Once I had done this I went back through and made sure my objects were straight. I also went back and darkened shading in certain dark areas.

The process and concepts of this drawing involves gesture drawing and Value shapes. Gesture drawing is drawing quickly multiple times so the average of the drawings equal the shape that I want to make, and value shapes requires using different colors and values from white to black to create the shape instead of relying on lines.
My process was really to focus on one area at a time and make the drawing and go back through again one area at a time and fix any proportion mistakes until I was ok with how it looked.
