Drawing From Observation: Placement & Proportion

I wasn't really frustrated by this process, I was comfortable drawing this way, but I found it a little difficult to draw what I saw instead of what I knew was there. It felt natural drawing the shapes of the objects and the only thing I had trouble with was the placement and the spacing between objects. I thought that my drawings came out alright, but I felt that I could have done better.

Pre-assesment

I felt more comfortable doing the drawing from imagination, because I could make it look like whatever I wanted, and I could be as creative as I wanted to be, as opposed to the drawing from observation. I could change my drawing as I went, and draw whatever was in my head. When drawing from observation, you have to draw exactly what you see, and it stresses me out sometimes if I can't the drawing to look just like the objects I'm drawing.
