Asked for help
Would really appreciate some feedback on these. 3 things I’m really struggling with:
1. Skating feels jagged. How do I avoid having harsh corners?
2. My light and medium lines look really similar.
3. The trace the ruler lines are really thick and dark, not crisp like others I have seen. I’m losing a lot of definition, and then can’t tell how accurate I’m being.
I know practice will help with all of this, but any feedback that can help me correct some of these things while I practice would be amazing.
All of these were done with a 2B pencil.
Thanks!

I have similar issues, my lines used to be too dark, my problem was pressing to hard with pencil to paper so lightened up but now my lines are a tad too light , a work in progress, hth. Try lightening up your press

Look at @stanpenko YouTube video on drawing a head. He gives the overview and then the measurements on the head for eyes, nose, ears and mouth. It all to me boils down to measuring and mapping.

Absolutely great ‘Stan the Man’, I haven’t drawn from imagination since I was in my teens, so this is a great way for me to pickup my imagination drawing.

I made a new sketchbook today, the previous one was full. A4 size (Fabriano 120 g, A3 sketch sheets folded in half), own binding, 160 pages in total. It can be opened completely flat, so A3-sized drawings are also possible.

I watched critique video and I decided to paint a different pair of boots this time - one that has a lot of lines, and the difference is I did whole work using shoulder and elbow to draw, almost no wrist - to force me to pick lines. I must say - it is so hard to draw against ones instincts to zoom in and draw using wrist xD

Day 14 Drawing Challenge , I used ghosting the lines, thinking about and then execution, I am amazed, much better rendering for me.

Thank you so much I didn’t know what I was doing wrong now I do, the ‘ghosting’ explanation was outstanding, now I get it, working on my fuzzy lines

again a bit later, finally done the booths, also finally passed 14 day challenge, yay!
but the problem I seem to have is forgetting to think about CSI properly, cause I am focusing on drawing what I see and so I hit the right spots and also trying to not have it in too many tiny fuzzy strokes.. and the lines are.. not sure this can be called CSI? but hoepfully, cause some of them are curvy, some bendy.. and not much place for too many straights.
I feel like I'm doing it horribly wrong :(
