@Stan Prokopenko Hi Stan, thank you for this course! When you say rythm, is there a definition or theory etc behind that? I am assuming it is curves or lines that maybe connect together, or close together? Maybe a silly question, but as I was watching demo on the boots, I was thinking "Am I doing rythm or am I missing rythm, would that help with this and later projects to fully understand and apply rythm? Thank you Stan!

Boots and Snail before Demo, really struggled with boots, almost said nope lol.

Boots and snails...

Attempt #1 (before demo) vs Attempt #2 (after demo) 🥾

Got too caught up with the laces for the boots 😅

I keep getting carried away with details and I think I missed the point of the exercise, but I’m still quite happy with what I ended up with

Very happy with my boots, although this is the second try, the first one had too much detail and the laces did not had a consistent thickness, i think i nailed it on this try, but i think i forgot about the CSI lines and just started focusing too much on making it accurate

This are before on the left and After on the right

Before and after watching the demo. There are some qualities I like more about the before, but after watching the demo, I think I was able to follow the instructions better. 1 has some strokes that are a little too continuous, so on 2 I really did my best to stick to the CSI concept. Should I be doing the boots as well before moving on?

This is my attempt. Any feedback?

This is my attempt. The boots were significantly harder than the snail! Would really appreciate some feedback if anyone has some 😊

This is my attempt after watching the demo.

I’m gonna leave these here - might come back to them later, maybe with the boots, just to keep better track of my progress. Also, after watching the demo and seeing some other examples from others, I realized I rushed the laces a bit. I didn’t take the time to build up the outline/shape first, I just rushed to draw them in one continuous line.

My boots before and after. These boots were such a hassle for me! It’s so hard to get confident lines for smaller details. Not too sure if it’s just going to take time or if I’m positioning my arm wrong? Any criticism would be welcome

Watched the demo, closed it, opened up the pictures, drew them again. Feeling a bit better about them, but goodness me, the laces were no fun.

I did a first try blind and then a second one after watching the Demo.

Spent a lot of time on the proportions and shoelace.
