shoes 1 and 2 before watching video. I was afraid I didn't simplify the forms enough.

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!
@space_ace
I tried my very best, although I didn't feel confident enough after the first drawing to attempt the second. ><

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
Vy Nguyen
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
Camille Varner Kolafa
Great job on these! Good choice with the heels too :) I think you have a great attempt on the laces though! For both the boots and snail, I do think your lines were a little too stiff, and you improved with that on the heels, in which the lines are looser and done in shorter strokes.

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?
@panawafful
Here’s my little snail! The boots will be submitted later today or tomorrow. :)
Jaewan Park
My lines are still a bit shaky. I guess they'll get better with practice.
@becky232906
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!
@cybermoose
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.

That improvement is crazy! I love the confidence in the curves shaping the body part

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!
@cybermoose
I’m a big fan of how the boots turned out especially. It’s a lot better than you think
Camille Varner Kolafa
Welcome! Don't beat yourself up too hard about it the boots, both of your drawings look great. Keep up the good work!
@bmendryshora
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)
