Level 1 demos are done and it's time to move on to level 2! In this lesson, I show you how I would approach the level 2 CSI project.

Round two. The second drawings I really tried to simplify the forms more and to use as few lines as possible.

It is difficult to quiet the perfectionist thoughts! This time I did a rough drawing of the shape beforehand to help loosen up and get a general understanding of where each section will be. Trying to let go of the desire for it to be proportionally perfect :)
This might be a dumb question - is there a "right way" to hold the pencil? Im trying to not draw from my fingers so I have been drawing with a different grip which sometimes gives me nice lines and sometimes doesn't. Not sure if it's my grip, lack of support for my arm because of the way I have been sitting, etc.
Any advice/feedback is appreciated! Thanks! (FYI this is before watching the demo)

Post-demo drawings! Had to celebrate after that boot one :)))

This time I struggled with the proportions of the drawing. Although I erased a lot, I tried to make sure the lines were drawn correctly. I'm still going!

This is looking very good. It’s well defined and clean.

I need to do the Camel again I didn’t do it again after watching the demo.
I’ll admit this time with the school I followed along with the demo, but it really allowed me to watch an attempt to practice strokes. It helped so much being able to watch your movements. I plan on trying the Camel again (and honestly the shoes cause the laces really gave me trouble).

These are my attempts before and after watching the demo.

I thought I had confident lines until I did this! I started out with the boots and realized after that for confident looking lines I have to change my ‘envelope’ brush because it gets wobbly when I try to add pressure. After I did everything but the skull I watched all the demos but the skull & also realized I was breaking my lines up too much.
what I learned:
different brush per purpose
follow the line through the form
Finding the rhythms helps to find contour/proportions (especially on the boots & camel)
try not to break up lines

The angle is great!!! My lines would have been wobbly

Your lines are very smooth with lovely tapers at the ends.
These look great!

Love the movement. You caught the rhythm well.

These were after watching the demo. The shoes were still tricky but I definitely found them a lot easier!
Any feedback would be really appreciated!

Camel is with demo. I submitted my before demo camels on the other page, but they were all really hard. and I didn't manage to do it well on my own. The first skull is before the demo and the second is with the demo.

I had fun drawing on level 2. It’s a great exercise for improving your lines, and I’m already seeing the results in my drawings.
However, I still find it difficult to leave out some details and simplify more, so I’ll keep practicing ;)

Wow, very handsome lines!
