    Thanks for the great and specific feedback!

    I totally missed drawing through in organic intersections :sweats:

    Organic Arrows being one of the first exercises in Lesson 3, I will work on more foreshortening there (and in my warm-ups).

    Looking again at my bark texture, yes, I felt at the time that I was doing well on the macro shapes, but it's true that on the smaller, hairy shapes I fell into lines - thanks for pointing this out.

    Thanks, though I've just watched ahead to some of the texture videos and it specifically says not to texture with random noise...

    ut hey, it was my 50% and i had fun :-)

    Hi Rob and thanks very much for reviewing my work.

    For ellipses, yes I was worried about my accuracy on them and think i overcompensated in the funnals exercise trying to get consistency rather than varying my degree, I'll try to keep each aspect to it's own exercise and vary my degree more in future ellipse funnel warmups.

    For rough perspective, yes, i noticed doing it that i tended to be ok enough on the three "visible" lines but would go way off on the back face, I'll try to work on this during the 250 box challenge.

    Rotated box: yeah, i noticed that myself, i think next time i do this i won't do the 4 outer squares, I found that to be rather distracting and gave me two competing goals - keep boxes homogenous but also rotate 90° by this point (though that may very well be one of the exercise's aims, so maybe I'll just be more careful where and how big I make them)

    Thanks again for taking the time to give such a detailed review of my work.

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.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

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.
