More Kley study (this is my 3rd day). Frst I roughly sketched with 2H pencil, then inked with Micron 0.3 & 0.5. Can't get the same feel of the pen strokes as his.

Your lines are more chaotic than the lines of Kley. Otherwise great job.

Study of Heinrich Kley (Right image is the original). I had thought he drew them very quickly with messy lines. But I found that those were intentional to show the volume, dimple, etc. of the skin/muscles.

Asked for help
Level 2 assignment after watching the demo. I tend to go into details and have difficulty having confident lines. So I wanted to watch the demo first to learn how to simplify first. I think camel was a bit easier. But skelee was hard. The lines for the hat's contour, my angle was off and tried to correct them and lost the confidence in the lines. I need to practice more by sketching a lot of other objects. I have a nagging question though, after achieving simplified contour lines, how to use it for rendering (;shading, painting, etc.) stage? But this will be revealed in later classes.
@xavi
Level 1 Assignment: I wasn't sure how much I should simplify or should include shading like previous assignment. I think I ended up focusing on the details and shading. I also wasn't sure the contour lines should be very visible and outstanding or not. For boots, there are so much complexity, e.g. shoe laces and how the leather deforms and creates shadows, etc.

Your drawings look great! He did mention at the end of the video not to do any shading though :/
