    Hi, thanks for the critique, was really helpful. I tried to implement the critique, I didn't trace my lines with line weight, I tried to cut the forms more cleanly, worked only additively and sticked to very simple sausages for the organic forms.

    Hi there,

    the feedback is really very helpful and i agree to everything you say.

    To the texture critic: I actually really don't enjoy to draw texture and when I actually do it, I have the tendency to overdo it. I'll try to better understand how to imply texture instead of just filling up everything with it.

    In my 4 additional pages of plant constructions I tried to only focus on construction (completely without texture), as well as more complex flower pot shapes and drawing very big (had a lot of problems with aligning very big ellipses to the central minor axis line).

    I felt like it helped me a lot planning the plants and the flower pots out first, without perspective and then tackle them how the reference shows. The last plant (some sort of mutation of the sun pitcher plant) was really hard to identify the placement and the forms since it had two sort of teeths formed like leefs sticking out from above.

    Thanks for next critic in advance and thanks for the so carefully and detailed critic from my entire lesson.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.

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.
