Post-Demo The shoe laces were the most difficult for me to draw. It is tough to make them the same size, and I think they look too stiff, to be honest. But other than that, I really like the idea of mapping out the big shapes first and then adding the contours. It improved my drawings.

Honestly felt better about my strokes with the camel, but glad I challenged myself to try the skull. Looking at my individual lines in the skull drawing, I can already see the shaky and unsure strokes I need to work on.

You guys have some great drawings! Makes me nervous about uploading mine. I haven't watched the demo at the time of drawing, so I was confused as to whether I needed that plank for the snail. The proportions are also off at the tail (?). Biggest challenge of the boots was the shoelaces, without a doubt. The front outsole of the boots were tricky too.

Both are pre-demo. I found the C curve to be kind of tough to do. I also found myself doing very long, straight lines, and I don't know if that is okay. But alas, it was an enjoyable and challenging project to do. I will do it again!

Simplify to CSI Level 1 Assignment. First pic was pre-demo. Happy with that attempt, but way too much detail. Second attempt (days after I watched demo), I tried too hard. So I tried again immediately after, and I am very happy with it (my 3rd attempt). Found it really hard to simplify and keep it just to C, S, and I lines, but I eventually found a flow that worked.

First attempt at Pear-1 before watching the demo, and then Pear-2 after watching. Definitely better for Pear 2, but welcome any feedback. I only have an HB, 2B, and 4B, so guess who's buying more pencils soon!?!
