Here is my second attempt. I felt like I needed to try to add line weight and a little more refinement since I'm not very good at it.

Since I have limited practice experience with torso drawing it was easier with reference photos. Cool exercise

Project - Gestural Architecture - Rocko's O-Town

Amazing “what if” type of excersise. Enjoyed the freedom of it

This was fun and I get practice rotating forms in space from imagination. not going to lie I did get distracted by beetles and drawing them as vehicles. I haven't drawn a treehouse yet so maybe I can yet Inspiration from Treehouse Masters next time.

These are my attempts using the reference provided. The boots were so intimidating for me even though I've drawn them before. I really struggled to control the c and s curves, which isn't new but it was even harder with the pen, Im glad I pushed though.

Im going to try this again tomorrow, I'm trying to improve my confidence with ballpoint. I found a lot of really fun reference from Pinterest and got caught up in gesture and shape instead of lines. I should have been using a bigger sketch book, I think that would have made it easier so I will go bigger next time. But it was so fun and I learned so much!

Certainly is tricky to tap into the mindset of representing shapes in simple geometry using C, S, I while maintaining likeness. It is a tactical game to fight against the urge to copy cat the nuance contours. KEEP IT SIMPLE.

The first one is my second attempt after the demo, the second one is my very first try. I rlly had some problems with the confidence and the simplifying. I kinda ran out of time the second time, I feel like its a bit messy. I would really appreciate some feedback <3

snail and boots. did each before the demo then attempted again after the demo. i’m still not confident im using csi correctly here. the demo was helpful in understanding what was a necessary detail versus not. for instance i wasn’t sure about things like the snail shell pattern or laces.
