First attempt before the demo. I need to take my time in ghosting the line before committing, and just be more patient in general. After watching Stan's demonstration, he has much cleaner lines. Mine are confident, but I think I'm too confident which results in messy linework. I'll spend the next week or so practicing this on different subjects around the house, I'll also attempt those shoe laces again! Can you tell I spent 2 seconds on each lace? hahaha

1st picture is my 3rd attempt without following the demo. 2nd picture was after taking advice from the demo.
