Zero here again. I felt that the boots were more difficult than the snail. I used an HB pencil for this one and drew it sideways like the snail, for convenience. It looks like there is a warped perspective in my drawing but after quite a bit of erasing and redrawing I decided to just push through it and get done. After getting the top/right boot done, the second boot forced me attempt to make sure they were on the same plane, then I realized the first boot was screwed up. I should have flipped the page to check more often. Anyway, had fun trying and every time i tried to draw a shoestring grommet, I was reminded of the mushroom warmup exercise. ovals are hard, ellipse even moreso.

Keep doing this. Dont think about being "Zero". Tjere is no such thing in drawing. You already an artist when you pickup a pencil and make marks on the paper.

Here is my snail. I am a zero skill. I drew is sideways for convenience, and used a General 2H pencil. I found it extremely difficult to not loose focus on the project objectives; I was reduced to simply copying what I saw instead of using the line shapes to construct. I also found it virtually impossible to draw a straight line. My hand either wanted to arc the line or veer off, in one direction or the other, despite my effort to focus on a point of destination.

Stan is being a little sneaky here with this assigment. I had to think about shapes to make good drawing. Just copying the contour will be much harder. I felt a little weird about this assigment. It looked backwards to me, but I guess this is his method. I strongly advise to draw something else too. Try to do 1 assigment drawing and then 1 drawing from life or just doodles or basically anything to search for fun in drawing.

Made the attempt before watching the demo. Then a second attempt. I sort of get it. Making my hand do it is another story. I seem to have a subconscious issue with my evil dead hand; it loves making errant markings when near a boarder.

Good job. it is like two different persons drew it.
