Chose these high heels to draw, definitely struggled with making my light lines light enough and how much lighter to make the front shoe vs the back shoe.

Did a study of Walter Crane, using his illustration for the cover of his book "Line and Form". Focused on just one part of the drawing - the lower part of model as she steps up a few stairs. I attempted the entire drawing but found it to be a bit too advanced for me at this time.

Submitting my assignment, Image 01 is Hierarchy of Importance and Image 02 is Shadows and Light Direction Method.

Feeling a lot better about putting down lines, tried to keep the drawings super simple and not get too focused on the details.

These are both pre-demo. The snail was relatively quick for me, but the boots took a few attempts over a couple of sessions. I did the left boot first and it took me 2-3x longer than the right boot, the laces were super challenging and took a lot of problem solving. I landed on doing an outline of the boot first for spacing purposes and then adding in the interior, saving the laces for the very last addition. This helped a lot with spacing but def still struggled with the varying width of the laces. I did the left boot with a 2b pencil and the right with a 4b pencil, I found it easier to leave lighter lines with the 4B though they were a bit harder to erase, the general softness of the pencil made the sketching overall easier as I was less likely to scratch the paper. Generally felt more confident using the 4B pencil as well because I could really see the lines I was putting down.

First attempt at the pear!
