Simplified snail and boots to CSI

First time drawing ever. Very interesting and addictive!

The First Pic is the Pre Demo one. The last two are Post Demo. Simplified and tried to make confident larger strokes rather than small details. Appreciate suggestions and critique please.

I haven't noticed too much of a difference between the Level 1 project and Level 2. A reason would be that I was starting to draw and practice more often, and I haven't been doing it for several days... but as soon as I approached the 2nd Project of the Lines section, I noticed more improvement. Here are my versions ^_^

My before and after watching the demo (and after feedback). Tried to use a lot more curves and less stiff lines. Also tried putting down a rough outline of placement before I started making lines. I think it helped.

Here are my attempts at the boots before (left) and after (right) the demo. Major line improvement again, but definitely still a bit shaky and chicken scratchy in smaller curves, or when many overlap like in the laces. Lmk what you think!

Loved doing the snail, but the boots were an absolute nightmare ahahah hopefully stuck to the CSI lines properly, I don’t really know what I’m doing :)

I enjoyed it, even drew an extra frog. getting proportions right feels tricky, and doing the shoelaces was a nightmare.

didn't think to draw the laces the first time, then watched the demo. So i decided to give it a shot

Big improvement, felt much more confident in shapes, laces were still hard, but felt much better about them (Left old, Right new)

I will do the boots soon, but I had to post the snail now because, wow your demo fixed a lot of my issues with line confidence and everything. That was probably my biggest issue before starting the course. As you can see, I clearly struggled a lot with preventing myself from chicken scratching and being too much of a perfectionist before the demo. Lmk what you think! (left - before demo, right - after demo)

Big improvement after watching demo. I was focusing too much on doing lines in one stroke perfectly. Messed up the perspective on the boot to the right but still think it turned out pretty good.

Here are my drawings!

My attempt after watching the demo, as my first missed the point of the lesson. I think on the snail, I could improve my line depth, to help it look more 3D. On the shoes, I went too detailed on the laces, and should do an effort to limit the amount of lines I use to help simplify the shapes, aswell as lighten my strokes as they're quite dark.

Here are my results, all done before watching the demo, I tried to use only confident lines. Some feedback would be great :)

Here is my snail before and after the demo:

After watching this, I think I was focusing too much on the C S I and too little on the actual simplification.

Tried the challenge being a level 1 it was so fun! What do you guys think of it?

Feels like the boots were way wayy harder, everything eventually went ok but found out too late that i made the left boot a bit too fat, also i feel like my lines are way more "shaky" like im using lots of small lines to create some of the curves, is that ok?

This is my attempt after watching the demo. I feel that my snail is more or less equal to my first attempt, but I feel that I improved significantly on the boots, especially in drawing the laces.
