My first value study. Any notes?

The primary lesson in Keys to Drawing is to learn how to draw 'what you see' without letting your brains get in your way. I think the book's most helpful for drawing portraits and to extent, figures, with proper measuring.

Treat the exercises as brain exercises. Go through them once, reflect what you learned and move on. Spend some more time line drawing portraits and figures (line-of-action.com is good for that) until the faces and bodies start to look accurate.

When drawing mechanical things like typewriters, especially in perspective, it's more beneficial to use construction techniques which you should learn after Keys to Drawing.
