I did this exercise all backwards, first snail was done before the demo, then I watched the critique before the demo, applied what I saw from that to my boots. Then the 3rd attempt of the camel after watching the Demo of the snail. I still have to finish those videos. I already feel more confident in my CSI lines although I did erase some lines to try to have more accurate proportions.

Post Critique, I felt like I didnt really execute the assignment correctly my first go. This time I felt like my line execution was better and less shaky. Im still struggling with pressure and the weight of each line still. I actually preferred it before I added the laces but was good practice regardless.

I wasn’t sure how detailed to make it so left it pretty bare. Not sure if it was the caffeine I had right before or not but I was finding I struggled to put light pressure and keep the lines fluid. Maybe it’s just not being confident but that’s what I found to be most difficult about this exercise. Any feedback is appreciated!

After my 3 attempts at the pear it built up the courage to try the portrait. I’m loving the progress I’m making. However I did use Prokos step by step to help with some of the mid tone values, I tried not to just replicate his but learn from the shapes. Any and all feedback is welcome!

My first attempt with my own pear followed by my second with a quick run through, watched the video again and took a crack at it a 3rd time. I’m proud of the progress but wish I didnt make a jump so high with the 8B.
