Hello ThatOneMushroomGuy!
Here's my revision: https://postimg.cc/gallery/WZ5G0zw/7c26162f
The two plants I constructed were Hydnora Africana and Darlingtonia Californica.
Take care,

Ok, great! Thank you so much!
Hi, thank you so much for the detailed response!
The info and diagrams for the texture analysis are super helpful!
As for the response for my first question, I just wanted to say that I think there's been a bit of a misunderstanding. You see, I understood the part about following along with the demos, and that is in fact what I did. However, for the homework that is required to be submitted for lesson 3, I understand that most of the submissions should NOT be from the drawings I did while following along with the demos. That begs the question though, what is the rest of the homework supposed to consist of? I interpreted it as meaning that the homework should consist of "drawings of all the plants from the demos, using your own reference photos (from the internet, for example) of those plants, for the most part", which is what I submitted. My question was whether that interpretation was correct, or if I was supposed to find reference photos of completely different plants that were NOT featured in the demos. For example, one of the plants in the demos is a king's oyster mushroom. For my homework submission, I drew a king's oyster mushroom using a reference photo from the internet. Was I supposed to do this, or was I supposed to draw any other plant than a king's oyster mushroom, since it was featured in the demos?
Sorry if that was long winded but hopefully I got my point across anyways :)
Thanks and take care,
Noah
Hi! Thank you so much for your feedback!
I'll work on improving the areas you mentioned and submit my revisions soon.
If it's alright, I had a few questions I wanted to run by you before I submit my revisions.
1. In terms of the plant construction, I did not use the images from the demos for the majority of the drawings I submitted (I'll still do the plant construction revisions, I just wanted to ensure that was clear). I'll attach the reference images I used here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/GLH8nrp/47f4ee38. However, if the goal was to draw plants *other* than those in the demos, rather than use different images of the same plants, then I completely misunderstood that aspect.
2. I'm having some issues understanding the ''fun with textures'' section, specifically the shadow shapes in step 3 and what those are supposed to be corresponding to the leaf image given. I understand the ''circles'' are the gaps between the veins, but I can't figure out why shading is being done in the specific areas outlined by the shapes in step 3: https://drawabox.com/lesson/3/8/texture
Thanks again and take care!
Awesome, thank you so much for the feedback! :)
Great! Your feedback was very helpful and much appreciated, thank you so much! :)
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
