Would love some criticism on this guy, thanks!

This looks great! The different values are clearly separated and the highlights are clean.
I would wrap this one mid-tone around the form more. This helps things flow together more.
Keep it up!

Did the boots after watching the demo video. Definitely really hard compared to the snail, but also easier than expected just in that I was able to complete it at all! I think the left boot came out a bit weird and blocky but I like how gestural the right boot is in comparison. I'm a beginner so any advice or critique is appreciated!

You boot drawing has really nice gestures!

Living room and half of a kitchen from imagination. Felt relatively comfortable drawing this.

Great!
This is a lovely drawing!

Drew a few of these twisty boxes.
This was my first attempt, kinda feels more from recent memory than imagination, dunno maybe because is more realistic than stylized. (firs ones are the study using photos second from imagination)

You did perfect!
It IS like drawing from recent memory!
You need to have the studies in your memory before you can draw much of anything from imagination.
Think of it like a mental library of studies to pull from when you want to create something new.
Its difficult to translate your ideas from imagination to a drawing on paper without doing the prior studies.
I hope this makes sense. Keep it up!

You want to use straight lines, and hard edges for this assignment.
This will teach you how to simplify and shade different planes going around a form.
Keep it up! I can’t wait to see more.
