"I've also added a mass to represent what is mostly fur along the side of the head. I'm not too keen on making this appear solid - it definitely has volume, and probably has some muscle there, but because most of it is likely fur I'm still leaving it a little lighter and free of additional contour lines."
This was at the end of the wolf demo. I guess I miss interpreted this resulting in what I did with the chicken and lamp.
With regard to the chicken. The 2D envelope I drew represents the feathers of the chicken. I read somewhere in the notes that since fur and feathers aren't solid forms that we don't have to give them too much solidity when we add them to our drawing. Since I have seen plenty of featherless birds, I knew a lot of the chicken's volume was feathers. But I think I went a little too far with that.
Anyways, I assume the next step is the cylinder challenge, Right?

The last drawing in the gallery is an extra. After drawing it I realized I was probably mostly drawing the volume of the wool as opposed to the lamp's body. I added it to the gallery for extra feedback
I really liked your drawings but I think the susages are meant to sag like water balloons and yours seem too solid. Additionally, I think the way you drew the back legs makes them look very flat.

So this is my revision. I have to admit I didn't know how to utilize the method you referenced in your critique regarding the bee's legs so I used the same old method. I hope thats ok.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. Is it ok if I draw the same insect species I drew in the original submission? Or do I have to find new insect species?
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
