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
