    the first is really amazing, but in the second scene try using value more like make dark places more darker and light lighter especially on the foreground element to create focus that will create a variety and try to follow diagonals as guides for entire painting to make it more dynamic.the third one has a great contrast . just keep focusing on wave tha trees make and foreground element. the fourth one is my favourite, good contrast, negative space and rhythm. just make the foreground with most value and gradually reduce it with every layer to create more depth. the fifth one has good contrast and the thing about foreground and backgroung element that i just talked but it looked boring to me because of lack of some good rhythm in clouds that takes you away from the painting use its rhythm to keep the eye on the painting and. and the foreground element is a little back. but i must say you made some really amazing stuff to look at. i really enjoyed each one of them and your effort shows in every painting. Great effort man. Thanks for making these.

    this looks grat but it looks somewhat flat try to use volumes as basis and wrap things around and for depth try making one circle a little closer to other .you can also try some texture in detail more and use gesture more to make it more lively. Don't sweat it it will take some time and you will gradually understand everything. Great effort dude

    your characters are really good but the perspective lacks volume like try to think in volume in 3d for every mark you make. you can also make the scene dynamic by just shifting the horizon line and vanishing point because if we put it in centre it looks boring. try making rough small thumbnails for figuring out the best compostion. keep doing and you will soon improve. Great effort dude

    Well done, you've done really well job completing the lesson but there are some parts that i think you should correct and work hard on. Don't worry about the time though just continue moving forward.

    First of all, the arrows are done well with all the shading and perspective but the main problem is flow and line weight. There are little wiggle and jiggles on some arrows mostly on first page and you have kept the line weight same so it's a little bit confusing for few arrows to look real except all this you have done really good understanding the 3d stuff,overlapping.

    Now for the contour ellipses, there are some mistakes like the ellipses are aligned pretty well but the degree is almost same, give your ellipses a bit of a shift in their degree as you run through the length of the form. Try to think if you cut it there how it will look and draw that and try to draw minimal ellipeses only when they're needed. First know why you're making a ellipse like where it bends there will be a shift of degree so you drew one there but think how will it look there and then ghost and draw without hestitation because flow is also a bit missing here too but it comes with practice so chill even if you didn't get anything just make hundreds and you will get it or look at flower stems and try to look where will you draw and how much degree and why.

    Same problem (flow and same degree)with contour curves but its better than ellipses.

    Now for texture analysis,In first column really well defined shapes just try to draw more texture you've simplified on a few areas i think but done well showing the confidence and understanding texture.

    in second column , everthing great draw some in notes too if you feel like.

    in third column , same problem,just try to draw more texture especially on the dark side. Make the transition from dark to light more good with texture but it looks good and will come with observation and practice.

    Now for dissections, first it looks really cool dude, great job. But there are just some small mistakes , a few look flat so focus more on curvature and one more is try to focus more on cast shadows rather than outlining textural forms (except when they break the form's silhouette) otherwise it looks perfect and you've improved your contour ellipses and flow here good job.

    Now for form intersections exercise ,you have done really really well,you drew same sizes shapes a few times, for instance draw more cuboids, i mean just vary them its really small mistake and there are a few intersection mistakes but for the first time it's really good job.

    In the Organic Intersections exercise,

    the forms are really stiff it's like you are afraid to draw or vary the simple sausage and they are few on first page. try to draw more and vary them think of them as water balloons and they are heavy so don't be stiff and the contour curves are kind of same for a few. Just don't be afraid and draw with confidence and draw more and experiment, vary them.

    At last, well done. Do the lesson 3 and try this Organic Intersections exercise some more times or even regularly one page until you improve.

    Thankyou so much for critiquing. I will ghost more and do some more warmup before drawing and will keep all your points in mind and head to 250 box challenge.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
