added comment inDemo - Depth and Form Line Weight
I decided to continue practicing lineweight for depth and form. I went back to my previous drawings before I enrolled to proko. I redrew my OC wings with what I learned so far.

Middle image: Using depth and form, wanted to show the wings are in front.
Right image: reference.
I am ok with it, feedback is always welcome!

If comparing the two, it seems like on your second go, you captured the proportions of the original more accurately. The variation in the line weight does help add to the depth effect as well.

I realized when I went back to watch the video a second time (after my attempt), that this is a level 2 exercise. So, here’s my level 1 attempt at a level 2 challenge. 😁
Lots of room for improvement.

Left: before demo
Right: after watching demo light and shadow.
By far the hardest exercise to me compared to the hierarchy of importance. I watched stan demo twice to understand how he is choose his line width and saturation. I tried my best on the second attempt, something just feels off to me, what do you guys think? feedback is always welcome! :)
I see the shadows on the head coming across much more vividly on the second attempt. Looks great!

Practice makes progress. I can see how the pencil being sharp v. a little dull makes a big difference in the line weight. I have a hard time working from the sharp (dark?) clean lines to the soft (light) squishy lines. I find that I am going back over the same lines a few times to try and ‘clean’ them up and that’s not helping. I have a few more print outs left, so I will do this one a few more times.
Good start. I was having a similiar issue with a 6B pencil I was using. I bought a different brand of pencils and it was a major difference. I think the cheaper ones or the ones are poorly made get dull much faster. Like mine was looking waxy almost it was weird so I changed it.

Left: 1st attempt before watching demo. (Hierarchy of importance exercise.)
Right: 2nd attempt post demo.
I loved this exercise because:
1. it switched up the learning from sketching to now only worrying about linework to practice.
2. Seeing the difference before and after watching the demo. After writing down some notes, I returned to the drawing and did it again. I can see the difference and its amazing how much I learned from this single exercise.
Feedback is a welcome :)
Your second attempt looks great. It appears to me that you really shifted from a fixed to variable line weight, and it looks much more dynamic.

Here is my second attempt after watching the demo. I realized that I did not vary my line weight at all in my first attempt. I did also just see that I messed up the head in this one though 😆

I suspect that I missed something with this exercise. Off to watch the demo for the “ah-ha” moment…

I tried again after watching the video, giving myself much more freedom to make lines everywhere. I tried to draw some cats this time to switch things up a bit.

Well, I think it’s fair to say I was too focused on getting it right v. thinking about the subject and expressing that through more expressive lines.

To keep myself honest, I’m posting these. I had to redo the boots a few times as my brain refused to let go of its own idea of how laces should look and let me just draw what I could see on the paper.
