Deleted the post accidentaly. Here is my exercise. Far away from perfect, but learned a lot. One paradox I noticed - I found the boots easier to analyze because of the details, like a lot of points that you can messure against each other. Snail I had to do in straight lines first in order to get to the shape

the boots did drive me a bit crazy before watching demo. fun practices!

here my shoes and snaiiiiiil... not very confident lines but...

My attempts are these challenges. The beats one I just couldn't nail the laces so I found a picture of high heels which I thought had some nice curves and shapes in there instead and I think that was much much better

I’m not gonna lie chief, this one stressed me out lol but I did it!

Having another go at it, haven't done the boots yet. I felt like these lines were more confident, but do they look it?

Here’s my little snail! The boots will be submitted later today or tomorrow. :)

My lines are still a bit shaky. I guess they'll get better with practice.

The snail I did second. I did the boots first. I struggled with the laces and felt it was tough for a beginner lesson. I don't love how it came out.

My second attempt. For me it is super difficult, but will try more one day i can manage it.

My second attempt at the boots

Watched the demo, and tried the snail again, gonna work on the boots afterwards And I also tried to apply the line mentality to an image that inspired me to start drawing in the first place (a character from Cyberpunk Edgerunners II). Was super fun, I am very motivated to have another go at the boots!

1st Snail Attempt: Sept 19 2nd Snail Attempt: Oct 18 This looks so much better 😭😭 I’m not gonna pretend there isn’t a lot I can improve upon but my line and curve control has dramatically improved in the last months. I highly recommend everyone take up a 30-day project where you draw something specific every day. I’m doing a daily Pokémon drawing.

Hellooo, tried my best at the first task before watching the demo - complete newbie here Getting the CSI-mindset down on the boots especially was super hard, not happy with it. Will try that a few times before moving on!

This was my first pass prior to watching the demo. In general I’m not unhappy with the result but I definitely could have done a better job in keeping in spirit with the exercise by doing the following three things: 1. Framing the sketch first before putting down my final lines 2. More confident strokes. I found myself going back and refining some lines to try to match it too closely to the photo. 3. Simplifying more especially in the boots. I might make another go out at both before moving on

Here is my 3rd attempt on the snail after the demo about it and first try at the boots before the demo . (no idea what to do with the shoelaces at all)

Here is my second attempt.

my try... seeing the rest i feel like everybody seems to have done pretty well :)

The first two are before drawing and then after drawing . Ihave been practicing linework exercise so my lines are clean i practice linework everyday for 30 min straight
