First pass on these before watching demo. I think I should probably give it another go and strive for cleaner versions.

Looks like you’re getting it.
It’s ok to be a little messy, but you will want to have a clearer mark. keep your lines measured and confident. It gets easier with practice.
This is a great place to start. Keep it up!

Round 2 of this, watched the demo of the snail before trying this out again. I used a red colored pencil to block out rough guidelines to do the line work within, although in some spots, (the skull mainly) I think I got a little carried away with the red pencil phase and found myself lingering on details. For the snail, boots and camel, I really was able to focus on just the CSI lines while operating within the blocked outlines, the skull felt less successful to me, particularly in the neck region where I started getting overwhelmed with all the little parts and couldn't figure out how to simplify. Overall, I still think I need to be planning my lines better to get more confident executions of lines vs. getting into re-drawing over them to tune and shape them.

I like your analysis! It sounds like you got a lot out of this project.

I think I need to try again, felt like I wasn't as confident with lines as I should be for assignment. These are all pre-demo, I'm guessing I probably should've simplified more than I did. The camel was too much fun though.

I really like your drawings! But I do agree with you, I think it's a good challenge to get really simple with your lines and shapes for this assignment. I do think these are really rad, I love the camel!

Attempted this a few times and never really landed on a version I was totally happy with. Thought to at least post the latest for feedback. Thank you!
