Hi Shivali – these drawings are a great start and there is a lot going on in your composition!
Your “subjective line” drawing has some areas where you might want to slow down a bit and concentrate on your line quality. How can a line start dark, transform into light, and end dark again, all in one continuous movement? The “subjective line” is really just a varied amount of pressure on the page, corresponding to your emotion and perception of the object that you are observing (as your eye traces it and your hand corresponds).
The next thing you also might work on is finding the subtle minor contour lines of light on the objects – such as on the glass bottles. This is not an easy task because it requires another level of close looking and mapping shape.
Side note – your photos are a bit dark. You might want to photograph your drawings in a brighter room, adjust the brightness level, or see if they actually look better when you take away the greyscale filter.
