Great!

It looks like you were on to something with the shoe laces in your first attempt. It may be a matter of getting worn out by the time you get to the shoelaces -- if that's the case, maybe try taking a break before you start so you can begin with fresh eyes. It may help you to try very lightly drawing an "envelope" that encompasses the overall shape of the object. These will be a few light lines meant to help you control the size of the overall drawing so you don't worry about running out of room or changing proportions to make sure the drawing doesn't run off the page. It doesn't have to be exact, just enough get the general proportions accurate. Hope that helps!

Good lines

You did great! These are super clean drawings. It’s ok to be a little sketchy. Don’t worry about the details too much. As long as it reads, you’re ok.

If you find yourself getting overwhelmed or frustrated, I think it's a good practice to put it down for a bit and take a break. It's like hitting the reset button. When you come back to it refreshed you may notice something that you didn't before. For having rushed I think this looks great! Would like to see those laces finished. Good luck :)

I decided I am going to redo it. I can improve on line quality. lol

I like all of them. Yes I agree on the first attempts there are more details, I did that too and for this exercise we are supposed to simplify it which I see the improvement in simplification on the second attempts! Very well done! :)

Beautiful work!

As the level increases, I notice the improvement in line quality. The snail and the boots were a bit too scratchy, but in level 2, the lines are more crisp and confident. Thats progress! nice!!!! :)

I can see that you are improving. I can see the overwhelming energy on the first attempts, especially on the boots. However, you are getting the idea on the second attempt. What helped me on the boots when I felt that the laces overwhelmed was watching stan attempt and critique. for the boots I: 1. Mapped it out using big shapes using lines and angles. I focus on that as long as it takes me. 2. I then use the CSI lines to draw out the boots. I ghost it first maybe 3 to 5 times so my hand can know what to do. If there is an area where I am like damn even ghosting it feels like it might not come out right, I lightly draw the line to "test" if it looks good. If i put so much pressure on it and it looks bad, the line can be hard to erased. I hope this helps, but overall I see improvement. Take your time, there is no rush, no race, just enjjooyyyy the process :)

I really like this camel 🐪

Looks like you got it! I like your camel 🐪
