We started out by drawing common items, like a shell, which sounded easy but is alot harder to do without something to look at and base it off of. The next exercises were drawing our hand without looking at it or the paper. This was also very challenging, however it got much easier with more practice. It was also very helpful to use the technique of following every line and curve of the object we were drawing instead of trying to draw a flat outline.
We did several practice sketches of the shoe we drew. It was alot harder to draw the shoe than I had originally thought it would be. I didn't realize how hard it was to try to draw dimention for a shoe in order to make it look 3-D and like the original shoe. Approaching this drawing as a regular drawing, I probably would have tried to draw the outline shape and then fill it in. This is also what made it hard to draw this shoe because you cannot do that with a contour drawing. Even with that set-back, I feel that i improved with each contour drawing of the shoe and otherwise. Much improvement was seen once we could see our object in person. I also mostly improved in the smoothness of the drawing and how lines flowed into the rest and looked less choppy than a normal drawing would.
