I tried

This one was toooough, but fun! The shoelaces were the part I struggled with the most 😭

Top image was before watching the demo, bottom was after. I think my original snail looked better since it gave more of a rounded feel. Maybe I started overthinking it. Like most here, I hate the laces too! 😀

This is my attempt after watching the video. Need to come back to this after I gain some more skill.

Okay so first ones of each photo is before demo and second one is after demo. I notice i cant help but draw lines without confidence so its little blurry and also the straps, maybe i dont understand how straps should looke like. Do i have to draw straps in hb? I only used Hb in drawing large contour and i think its not problem with pencils but still! Any tips and feedbacks are appreciated. My straps look like noodle:●

I’m still try to understand how to use the csI line and here is my attempt

I really struggled with this task. I've been trying for two days and I've run out of patience, and as you can see, it's pretty sloppy :D + I think drawing digitally is really hard I'm still new to it

Before watching and after watching Please critique my drawing.

I did this assignment last year. I’m just gaining the confidence to add them to proko but I was definitely dreading the shoes so I stuck w the snail and I only attempted it once. I’m working on motivation and discipline. Any critiques are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Me boot straps.

I really hated doing the laces. If something was off with the proportions or the placement of other lines, it made it hard to adapt. Also, the fact that the laces went over, under and around each other, made it a mental exercise working out which line to draw first and thinking about which lace was which. Despite this, I tried it once without the demo (the single boot), and then again after watching the demo. I think that on the complete version my lines were more purposeful and following the CSI idea better. I realised during this that trying to focus on good lines makes my hand shake more, so I had to try and be quicker and not overthink things. Also doing large C curves (like on the bottom tips of the boot was really difficult for me. Hopefully, it's something that will improve with practice.

Those boots were tough, but I'm starting to understand more.

This was a fun one. I did the snail drawing about three times. Breaking it down was relatively doable - what was hard is reminding myself to focus on copying the image rather than imagining my own snail. Feedback appreciated!

Hello! These are my before & after assignments. Like a lot of other people here, I struggled the most with the laces on the boots, and I’m not quite sure if I nailed the shape language of the boots either if im being honest 😅 I see the most improvement regarding the snail comparisons, particularly with the gesture of the snail. Feedback welcome!

Here are my attempts before and after the demo. The first two are the after.

After the Demo, Snail and Boots.

I'm super excited about what happens next. You're a great teacher, Mr. Prokopenko.

I think I'm gonna try this one again.. more simple.. I also got distracted because the snail reminded me of Marcel

Okay, with this project, I found it quite difficult the first time attempting it, especially the boots. My first attempt was with the snail. After watching the demo and realising my mistakes, I did my take two, focusing mainly on simplifying the shell. But the boots, now that was something. The attempt was going well, blocking out the forms before getting focused on the smaller shapes, until the laces were tackled, and it was a mess on the left side, being messy, and the size of each line was completely different. The right side was a better execution, but after I watched the demo and Stan recommended erasing it and redoing it, I went back and fixed both the laces.

Before demo, after demo. The laces still utterly destroyed me but the envelope method really helped with making me happier with my shapes and proportions.
