Mixed success here I guess. I can see some insecure scratchy lines, and some nicer strokes. Did a few outside the prescribed exercises to get some more practice in. I think my biggest problem (ignoring proportion stuff) here is line weight perhaps? My line weight is very inconsistent, due to lack of control rather than strange decisions being made. I see there's a line weight exercise coming up, so looking forward to that one!

I think Stan’s demo, about rhythms can really help here. Simple shapes are a lot easier to keep track of. He also talks about how to avoid contouring using these simple shapes.

Wow! This is tough. Struggled a lot with this. Here is my first go at the camel, my second go at the snail, and my third go at the boots. Might have a go at captain skull this weekend if I get some time. Its interesting how even in a line that I've done in a big sweeping motion, I still see little insecure wobbles here and there. Practice practice practice.

Looks like you’re off to a wonderful start! You did a great job keeping your linework simple and clean. Confidence comes with time and practice. Heres a little demo I made of the boots. Maybe you will find it helpful. Good luck with the skull!

Welp, we all start somewhere. Wasn't particularly happy with my first attempt so I watched the demo and the critiques, grabbed a different reference (so I didn't copy), and had another go. A little more pleased with the result this time, however it's still scrappy, and some of the construction is off. I made myself slow down a lot, but I think I need to gooooo slooooower. Struggled with getting a consistent tone in the lights without having there be gaps between the lines or the lights becoming too dark. Need to work on that.

Proportions vastly improved! I think slowing down also made your shading look so much more clean.
