The boots are definitely challenging with the many shoelaces. Gonna watch the demo tommorrow and try again.

Can I get some advice? First, I really like having multiple images to draw per assignment. It allows me to attempt, watch the demo _for that drawing_, then attempt again on the next drawing. On this one I had already watched the level 1 demos. My process went something like this 1) blocky sculpture-like lay in that took a few minutes. I feel like this was in the spirit of the instruction given for level 1. 2) this is maybe where I deviated... but I then did nearly the whole camel in straights, mainly using the straights to help line up proportion better (which I failed at, but that's besides the point). This process took me about 20-30 minutes. It was also done very light. But once that was done... 3) I used a dark pencil to make my "confident" lines and curves, more assured that everything was in the right place and my straights could help guide my curves. This process took maybe 15 minutes. But after watching the demo of the camel, I'm wondering if I should have gone straight from step 1 to step 3 and not attempted to spend so much time in step 2. Thoughts? Help?

Drew these yesterday. I can't say that I'm too confident with my lines especially when I started doing the boots and got too caught up with the details.

Here's my attempt. I completed both before watching the walkthrough videos. I think I lost the plot a bit and got some more complex lines by the time I hit the right boot. But overall I'm relatively happy with the results.

Here are my attempts at level 1. The snail was before watching the demo/critique and the boots were an attempt from after. I definitely need to keep practicing my lines and be a lot more intentional about ghosting lines in and setting them down confidently.

Here my try, it's difficult to only use simple c and s curves and straight lines

Attached, please find: 1) Two attempts at the snail + a drawing of the snail on the Wikipedia page for snail (also attached) 2) An attempt at the evil boots (a little shading just for fun) 3) An attempt at the camel as I TRY TO KEEP MY LINES LIGHT Any feedback welcome!

Level 1 done. Snail completed, then watched the snail (only) demo, then tried to take the lessons learned there and apply to the boots. Bottom edge of the right boot is a but messy, as I was at the bottom of my page and didn't have a lot of space to work. :( I could still clean it up. Will try Level 2 next.

Here I try to simpelfy the camel more than I did with the boots

It took ages to get all those laces figured out but I'm overall pretty happy with how they look

I'm going thru the lessons again. I'm still at level 1, but will be attempting the level 2 assignments. (glad to not have to draw those laces again! 😉) I think I could simplify "Cappy" more around the teeth and nose area. Maybe I could make the camel's legs more linear or use C and S lines more gesturally/fluidly. I'll check out the demos and go from there.

That was a fun exercise. Those boots felt pretty level 2. It was a good throwback to remembering to do softer/lighter lines as I found myself erasing quite a bit when I realize a lace was over or under something. Also have spatial issues since I just ran out of space on the page, but at least it helped me practice softer lines that faded out. Going to do level 2 pictures next.

Yes, I rushed the boots, but sorry Stan I'll try level 2 over retrying the boots 😅

i tried lvl 2

Went over all lines with a pen to make sure they all had a CSI Vibe. Messed up one of it's eye stalks 😭

My skull aytempt

today was level 1

I did level 2 and snail from level one. Boots scare me too much
