Great lines and character in these drawings

I really consider myself a Level 1, but I thought I would give this assignment a go. The final result could definitely use work, but I enjoyed doing it and the result was basically what I was imagining (which usually doesn't happen in past attempts).

Did the first two normally, but got a little more comfy with the sketch concept on the third.
Here are my assignment sketches. I did not allow enough space for the hanging thingy in the VR girl sketch

I enjoyed drawing the boots more than I thought I would. I definitely felt more confident in my line work for the second boot after warming up with the first.

This is my drawing of the boots done before I watched the demo. I think my problem is that I put in too much detail (its a problem I have had for some time) After watching the demo I need to loosen up a lot more so I may try this one again.

This is my first attempt at the portrait block in. The paper I used has a really heavy tooth so it was hard to get clean edges and it looks very grainy, Great exercise and I will probably do it again on smoother paper.
Good one anyway! Maybe the size of your drawing a bit too small for such grain? From my exp heavy grain is great for bigger drawings.
Wow! this looks pretty good to me. The only minor thing I could say is the left eye looks slightly low but that may be how it is in the photo. Other than that a brilliant portrait! The skin tone is really good.
This is a drawing I did some time ago of H.M the Queen using a blue coloured pencil. I am pretty much retired now but have not done any drawings for about 5 months after recovering from a serious bout of Covid-19. Trying to get back in to the routine on Proko's great new site.
