Day 1 of my 2 Week Challenge! Let's Go!

Snail and boots done. Made a second version of the snail with different brush to try a different line quality (I kept similar base lines). I think it's a bit better with the second version. Also made two versions of the boots, one with laces and one without. Laces seem fine (except top left where I clearly lost patience lol) but also a bit off : I used the same brush as base contours but smaller and I'm not sure if it was a good idea.

Tried my best here, this is before watching the demo

I know this is one of those hard ones...and It might be irrational...but I thought it would be fun to try to simplify something reflective...turns out...it's really hard

Might be too light but i get that was the point of the exercise?

So The First image with the first 2 drawings were the ones I made the day before (it was at night) (Reference used was Pear 1). The second slide was the one I made today, decided to test myself again before watching the demo (Reference was Pear 2) (that is the one on the left, the one without the background shading), and then after the demo (the one on the right). And I can already see a noticeable difference. Another major lesson was I learned was that I shouldn't draw when I am tired 😂 (surprise surprise it makes a difference).

This is my drawing before watching the demo, will update after I watch the demo! (Level 1 Pear 1)

Decided to give myself a refresher after going on a hiatus of not drawing for like 2 years (I was still a beginner then), Did not have much since it was at night but I did have a pencil and a blank book lying around so I thought why not follow the tutorial with that, cause I do hope to develop the skills to draw anywhere with ANYTHING in stock, so yeah!

Just doodled for a while using my different pencils. I'm a bit of a perfectionist so it's hard to start something and have it look terrible. First instinct is to give up but I have to push through and keep drawing terrible stuff until it's not terrible lol.
