My take on the boots, it was fun to do something like this , any guidance is much appreciated

i love stan's way of approaching, and explaining a theme or a matter. He keeps being fun and experimental about it, which makes me even more drawn to learn even though i dont really llike sitting through the fundamental stuffs. The part with the shoe laces where he refused to erase entertained me so much. Thank you Stan:)))

Liked the envelope metaphor. Snail after demo and boots before demo (they were challenging — inked them after drawing with pencil). Onto level 2 drawings next.

Here is my submission for the project.

Finally done with it. The boots were so painfull and felt impossible in the beginning..But it felt so rewarding with the results even thoug line quality is not the best i did some of it in the subway. ^^'

Finally finished the boots :)

Heres my snail attempt after watching the demo. I wanna try again soon and then the boots too.

Alright gave the snail another go after the demo. Definitely came easier this time. Tried to focus more on simplification, and cleaner, more confident lines.

My first level 2 exercise before watching the demo. Once again, my initial lay out proportions are off. So, it affects everything. I found this easier than the level 1 boots, though!

this is my second time with both the pictures without seeing the guidance. This time i am more confident in mapping all the lines. Can anyone give me a comment how to make them better

Snail and boots before watching the demo. Any critiques are welcome!

Want some comment on this

Am I crazy? It seems like almost all of the teaching happens in the demo, but I'm discouraged from viewing it until after the assignment. I feel like I would be better off watching the demo first and then finding a separate reference for the assignment. That way I would get instruction first but still work to find my independent solution. Please, someone let me know if I have the wrong understanding. It would help me to know.

Alright, so I drew everything twice again. Once before the demo and once after the demo. The boots KILLED me. Anyways, I think I started to get a hang of the exercise better in part two. I feel like my lines here are really stiff, but hey that's what practice is for :P

heres my snail! (edited in cam app to see the lines easier) - i didnt use base lines or the boxes to frame out where to put the shell etc. i was rlly tryna stay simple w it. focusing on confident lines mostly tho. will totes use my base lines next time

For this S-curve, is it bad practice to rest my palm when doing it?

These are mine I say the bear could be bigger
