Trying to do as few lines as possible. Still have a way to go :-) But I feel I did it more relaxed than the snail.

After watching the critique, I wanted to do a more loose form based approach (on a different pear), to see if I could internalize what Proko was talking about near the end. I think my darker midtones are still a bit lost, but the form approach seemed to help me think more about flow lines and let me be a bit more interpretive.

Attempt…

This is my snail using only C curves, S curves and straight lines
