Here are my boots and snail! The boots were definitely challenging since it has so many curve and edges. The shoelaces were difficult to get exactly how I wanted them to. I also love shading so it was difficult for me to not shade them in but they still look cool regardless!

The left side is my first attempt before the demonstration and I only had one pencil (just a regular #2 school pencil). The right side is after the demonstration and with a wooded graphite pencil set. I had a better time controlling the darker shades with the set because I was able to use a 6b for the darker blacks. I definitely had a harder time with the lighter shades because i wanted to press too hard down and they were coming out way too dark but I don't think it was too bad for my first time. Any critiques are welcome!
