It’s time to simplify those snails and boots! I show you how I would do it in these step-by-step demos for the level 1 CSI project. Make sure to check back tomorrow for my level 2 demonstrations!

I re-tried the project using different pictures for my references, here's what I got

Nice work! One thing to watch for is "petting" your lines too much, especially with a heavy hand. It's okay to ghost in the lines a little as you're finding them in general, but if you do try to do them lightly, and only when you find the "right" line you're going for do you let it get dark.

Nice work Jose. A good use of the CSI principles. I especially like how you did the shell.

Pic on left is pre-demo attempt and on right is post-demo try. First time around, it took me so much time, and I gave up before trying the 2nd boot. After watching the demo, I concentrated on getting basic shapes and approximate proportions for contours. I got too distracted by the details on my first attempt. Second is better (I finished it! and it took less time), but my eyes were crossed doing those laces. Any feedback is appreciated.

Horrible. Aborted pre-demo attempt at the boots. I was pulling my hair out trying to keep track of the laces, meanwhile my lines were not confident and kept being erased by my hand. I truly hated this, and it gave me a migraine.

The boots are proper hard, am with you.

Had a bit of trouble at first but started to get a but more loose with it.

After the demo. Definitely looser but the proportions are probably better and it took less time

Continuing - here are my level 1 drawings for this lesson. (These are scanned instead of photographed, better? My photos always have lightling/glare problems).

I am currently getting my butt kick by the oval section in the perspective section. I felt burned out so I took a break from the course. I picked the pencil backup and I am now on a side quest focusing on figure drawing. I went ahead and re-do this drawing since I am trying to focus on just CIS for all my life drawing. My re-do still pales in comparison with some of the other drawing here but I am happy with the improvement. Specially the camel! the re-do FEELS like it has more energy, which is the main thing I have struggle with. Line quality, shape design, etc still bad but I am happy to see improvement. I needed it.

Here’s my before and after for the simplification of the snail and boots. I used a 2H for the under drawing and a 2B on top for the confident lines. Would love any critique/feedback. Thanks!

Hello everyone! This is my exercise before watching the demo. I've felt a little frustrated, I hope to keep improving
