loved the snail but I gave up on the boots for now it tripped me much more then level 2 exercises. Those lace made my adhd brain go crazy tried and couldnt do it. Will come back to that one later and I’m finishing my exercise 2 for now ahah. The video really helped thought to understand why I found it that hard

This exercise took me a little over 4h. The boots were a challenge not just because of the straps, but also their perspective. I added some line weight as well. Great exercise, it helped me a lot on how to approach a sketch.

Boots were very difficult but I'm quite satisfied with the result !

Do I suck

Here's my snail and boots!

2025/6/5. Good morning everybody. Here's my assignment for this project. I cheated a little adding a flat value just for enhance the tridimensional forms. Thanks for any comment or critique.

I tried to do this exercise with other pictures.

After The DEMO, I drew the Other Boot. This time i struggled less and the drawing looks better than the previous one. But ill keep practicing.

So post-demo, I tried to do a separate contouring exercise with my own photo. This took me way longer than expected. Mostly because it turns out I don't understand horses at ALL. And this time I tried to adhere much more closely to CSI rules and aim for simplification. It's so difficult to not be distracted by details. Before this course, I always thought the goal was to try to depict absolutely everything you'd see, not to simplify forms. It makes a world of difference, though, to try to keep reminding myself of this now.

Snail and Boots. Spent much more time on the boots, clearly. I slightly adjusted the snail post-demo, but didn't do too much on it. The boots I did not change post-demo. And it shows: the laces don't really make sense, for example. And I think I didn't get the point of the exercise properly. But now I do.

I think I spent too much time on the details before watching the demo.

I had so much fun with these boots!

Before and after the demo. I wasn't happy with how the boots turned out. Any tips?

Step 1,2 and 3…

Before and after watching the demo. I was so preoccupied with accuracy the first time that the lines/the whole point of the exercise ended up being crap lol. It was fun and faster to just do it like the demo afterwards and not worry about accuracy so much.

Evening. Here’s my attempts. The shoelaces really threw me off

Hello class. i redo the boots after watching the demo and it helps a lot. I started with a frame for global picture, try to simplify the form (especially the lace), and draw with more confidence. I avoided too much detail. The boot on the left side still wobbly but I think it 's better overall. What's your take? Have a nice evening all
