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!

The first drawing is before the demo. The two drawings after are my second and third attempt at the snail after the demo. I seem to get worse after the demos. My line quality appears horrendous to me. I'm definitely pressing too hard and need to ease up. I feel like my thinking gets better after the demo but the output gets worse. A bit discouraging. I'm going to attempt the boots one more time but I'm a little apprehensive to try at the moment. Any and all feedback is welcome. Thank you and take care!

This demo really helped me to loosen up, I tried the snail again and the boots I want to give a shot again. I remember being really perfectionistic and apprehensive to place lines and this demo helped me realize that. It’s a balance. I made my new snail bigger too. Feel free to critique any advice is appreciated. (image with the notes is my first attempt.)

these are the boots, my first attempt has notes. They were still a bit tricky especially the laces, but I feel my lines are more confident. Any critique is appreciated.
@marcusthedesigner
Probably not getting better today :) Struggle a bit keeping the lines confident. Believe I need to spend a bit more time analysing and thinking before doing. Feedback welcome!

Because of my shoulder injury and the small size of my tablet, I can only use my elbow right now :c This was the best I could do

I felt like my first attempt came out a lot better than after watching the demo, I felt like I tried to focus more on construction than the actual lines themselves where as the first attempt I solely focused on drawing what lines I did see.

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:●
HI im jorge
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
@natsfufu
this looks amazing!!! some advices is maybe make lines a bit cleaner, more confident lines really would make this amazing piece even better :DD saying as im no where near this stage anyway lol

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.
@cosmicdaisy
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!

Right on with the snail! You developed some great simplified lines. Honestly, i really like the shape of the boots too, in both your pre and post demo drawings. Nice work!

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