In most courses what you learn here will be needed in the future. So if I could give you any advice I would focus on drawabox, especially to get comfortable with cylinders and boxes in space placement, as these are the foundations of drawing.
I've been in that place too, I wanted to take portraits or drawing complex things right away, but sometimes it's worth taking a step back to get up to speed, and drawabox will make you get so much more out of each course.
Definitely Understanding and Painting the Head from Marco Bucci!

Thank you for your extensive criticism and important information that I can work on.
Do you have any courses to recommend that I could look into during or after drawabox? I am interested in drawing faces, bodies. I can see that the drawabox and perspective course has explained more than I expected, while I can see that I will miss the knowledge of gesture and similar things.
Okay, so i did shrimp demo and lobster that i skipped previously (don't know why :x) and there's result.
Thank you :)
Thank you for such a detailed critique, I appreciate it a lot!
English is not my native language, but I know what you're getting at. I've always had an explanation for everything, but drawabox helps me face it for which I thank you very much. It's not perfect, but it's certainly better. And I'm not just talking about drawing here, but also about other things.
This time I tried my best to not rush and think everytime when i put something on the paper with diffrent results as u can see.
I have the most trouble combining solids into one forms so that they intersect and create new shapes. Very often I don't see them properly beforehand, only when I make a mistake do I see how a particular shape was supposed to look like.
So should I in my warm-ups focus most on Organic and form Intersections more?
I watched the whole lesson again, and tried to think about how the forms wrap in relation to each other, but I honestly don't quite have my imagination figured out yet. Maybe more supporting lines would influence the illusion to be even better? I was afraid that the exercise wouldn't be very clear and I would get lost. Also I would like to ask for advice on how to practice this in the future, what exercises to pay most attention to during warm-ups if I can move on of course.

First of all, thank you for your extensive review of my progress. I will not hide the fact that this lesson was difficult and frustrating for me hence I rushed through some of the exercises unintentionally. I will try to spread out the exercises over more days next time.
Below I am sending the exercises that you gave me. I tried to do them as slowly as possible to understand as much as possible, but unfortunately I think that the exercise with organic shapes still does not look like it should. I just don't seem to fully understand how. I'll try it again if I have to, because I want to understand everything exactly.
There's link for my pages:
Hello!
Thank you for grading my assignments. I did the rotated boxes from scratch because I felt it would be better for me to understand what is included in this lesson and I have to admit I started to rush but i did my best.
There's my revisions:
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.
