This was definitely a fun project. Had to keep reminding myself not to copy ,but study and invent instead.

I found it quite hard to find reliable measurements. Looking at the overlay, my drawing is not that far off, except maybe for the collar. For some reason, I feel there’s still no likeness in the drawing. Not sure if that’s due to the linear drawing and missing shading or if the small deviations are enough to throw it off.

My poor attempt to the two guys

Ok, that was fun and tricky! Got carried away with lines of the snail shell... Pretty happy with how the boots came out though

I did first the boots and after the snail without watching demo. Interesting to say I drew quite badly the laces. I think my left brain told me they are not important for some reason. Lot of learning

My attempt

My try before the demo here, a lot to learn. Thanks Stan

After the pear I tried the portrait too. I understood should be done with triangles. Obviously still too difficult for my level. Will learn from Proko now. Idea what was most wrong? Thanks

My level 1 pear. I think I need to work on my simplification and my shadows feel off.

As others said, I thought it should be easier. Nice exercise.. btw I was forced to stop and had to come back after one hour, I immediately spot out a big mistake in the overall balance of the shape, strange I did not see before. I think good practice stop and watch again
