    Thank you for your review. So my mistake was not prioritizing enough the constructional method, and for future lessons i need to prioritize applying the teachings above all else, is that correct? Because when it comese to the close up, i ended up not doing the flow lines only because i was thinking about contrast, and how about there were so many lines that started to attract too much attention

    P.S. out of curiosity, in my next homework assignments, should i include the photos i used as a reference for my drawings? i see other students doing it sometime, and i wonder if i should do the same

    Hi, here's my 2nd remake: https://imgur.com/a/hVg5IYY

    I'm writing some notes and doubts i had down here, i hope i'm not writing too much as i've been warned about writing long self-critiques on a previous homework submission.

    Notes and doubts:

    1. The points that you saw in my previous remake were used to "plan" my lines. I would place them and imagine the line going through them and if the line didn't fit my plans, i would just place more points. In this remake i avoided them as much as possible

    2. In the leaves exercise there is one leaf (i indicated it) where i add edge detail by adding and subtracting and using the same line\mark; that is intentional since i felt that it was the only way to match the reference

    3. There are 2 butterfly bush because: 1) i felt i didn't draw the first big enough 2) wasn't sure how to approach it (i also wonder if it would have been more appropriate to approach it like a texture, with a part "shaded" where i draw all the little flowers and the rest in the light, left blank with just a broken silhouette)

    4. In the butterfly bush close up there are some flowers where i've drawn the flow lines for the petals. Ultimately i discarded this approach as i thought it added too many lines.

    5. As for the american bittersweet i had problems with the leaves in particular. How am i supposed to treat the leaf's stem when it is in the foreground? i ended treating it like a branch but i'm unsure about my choice here

    I wasn't aware about the self-critique rule, i'll keep it in mind going forward. Here's my remake for the organic forms with contours exercise: https://imgur.com/a/2OmoCyz

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
