    A question about your purple additional form that you add here.

    I just want to make this place clear. if I'm right, my form in this place is mistake, cause It dont define clearly how it relate to head, isn't it?.

    And one more. Armor that plating on the thorax. Here is my reference, It's kind of wrapping lef, and I'm not sure about that additional.

    And, about texture in all my constructions. My first reason for it - I was thinking it's a little bit for it. You know, a few marks here and there in the end of work. Cause you can see that grasshopper have much more.

    Hi. I read this big feedback. Thank you.

    Here is my 4 constructions. Big part of my efforts is working additevely, and markmaking, but also I've tried to make some textures in grasshopper construction and avoiding big black areas.

    Thanks!

    Speaking of warm ups. I know that every exercise I complete should get mixed into your rotation of warmup exercises, but plant constructions too?

    I mean, the constructions are what I'll be doing the rest of the course, they seem to use same principles and I have 15 minutes to warm up with a big rotation queue.

    So, I am just wondering it make sense or not and it would be better focusing on other exercises like leaf, branch, ellipses, etc.

    Hi! Finally I have completed these pages.

    Some comments about it:

    1. Textures of leaves.

    Actually I wasn't trying hard with this leaf. Some marks here and there. But other two I get challenge for me. I think It's quite good.

    1. About silhouette. I read your reply, and here is sample about how I understood it. With it I have tried to add some additional forms to branches that I draw. Like this. I hope it's the right way

    2. About my constructions

    First - Flowers. Little branches from center of flower is too little, so I didn't construct them.

    Tomato. The biggest tomato in picture. Connecting branch with them was failed, but I continued construction farther. Maybe in this construction leaves is too little, but I have drawn flow line for each leaf.

    Strange, bint interest last plant. Farthest leaf. Most likely I constructed them badly. It was last part of this construct and unfortunately I was feeling myself too freely with that

    I have completed 1 page with leaves and branches, and I started constructions, but actually one more question about it.

    Anemone construction. You said that I have extended original form silhouette, and that is mistake. I have understood why it's mistake, but thinking of it I realized that It's quite hard moment with this anemone.

    Cause what I was supposed to do with specific bottom of it?

    I am talking about method I should apply.

    First thing, obviously, I can create two organic forms. Like this.

    But if I change bounds, it will be mistake, right?

    I remembered pitcher demo. There is a moment where uncomfortable actually extend silhouette, and that thing messed me up

    Hi. I've read your feedback. Thanks. One question before I start do things.

    In this 4 plant construction I have to add textures? or maybe it will be better without it for focusing on methods from lessons ?

    Hello, TOFU. Thank you for the critique. Actually, I have a few questions.

    Textures:

    1. I read about cast shadow, but I think I need more details. Can you give me more information and examples about how to organize information. And, please, take the least obvious places in my texture work, and explain why it's not a cast shadow.

    2. Should texture exercises be practiced as warm-ups too?

    Organic intersections:

    1. Is cast shadow from lesson example a a good standard to follow in the future attempts?

Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
