This is my attempt at hierarchy of lines and shadows. I wasn’t sure how to go about shadows. I originally had dark lines and very dark lines and areas. It didn’t seem right so I kept revising until this. Would appreciate feedback on how this could’ve been better.

I like these exercises— I think I could definitely work on my straights and line weight. I couldn’t find my ruler today, so I might need to replace that.

this was a fun assignment, though I struggled a good bit with it. I opted to leave out some smaller details with the hope of getting the bigger picture and strokes more or less right.

attempt at the snail . I think I spent too much time when I did the boot, so I tried to stick with simplifying the snail without worrying if it’s perfect. Hopefully it wasn’t an over correction

heres my attempt at the boots. I was okay until the laces, which felt overwhelming . I found it helped me to block the laces with straights then lay the curves on top. Going to tackle the snail now!

definitely was harder than i thought, especially controlling the pressure throughout.

My attempt before and after the demo. Think the tone separation is better, but not totally happy with the tone shapes

First attempt(s). Retried it after my first attempt because I felt my shading was unclear/missing a tone.
