Drawing with pen. Unsure how to tackle the problem of drawing laces, gets messy and scratchy really quick 🤣

Tried the "simplify from observation" task. This is before watching the "demo" video. Maybe one more pear coming soon after I watch the demo. The pear this time,next I'll go for the portrait 🙂 any comment is appreciated 🫡☺️

All critique and tips is welcome. So glad I stumbled over this community ♥️
