I've been struggling a lot with these. I think I'm finally getting this down a bit though, albeit I could still try and push/pull the shapes more.

I was trying to do this while following along but I found it was making me really tense, so I stopped the video and just worked at it by myself. I definitely struggle with moving the pencil in certain directions, but I'm trying not to rotate the paper every time
You have some fine points down. I would recommend trying to replicate the texture of Jeff Watts's lines. Perhaps that means to switch to another paper, but for me, it's always satisfying getting that exact texture down.

My attempt at some shoes after the Demo, I did this more with shadows in mind. Still working on my pencil control so the lines are still a little scratchy.

Asked for help
This has been really challenging. I tried some hamsters and some bears at first but the fur really messed me up. The last cardinal I drew was the top middle one. I didn't really want to finish it, it was more to try that flow that Stan was talking about in the demo.
