    I took some time off in between and did one a day. I am not confident about these at all to be honest. I feel like I am going backwards. I understand if I need to do a third round of revisions.

    I also attached a screen shot of my scanner settings. I think I was drawing too lightly in the last submission.

    Going forward, I think I am going to leverage the community half-way or take a step back. I def. lost sight of what the lessons were trying to teach me and got caught up in flow.

    Lastly, need to meditate on finding a balance between the fun/love of drawing and "Doing the work". I am trying to master the fundamentals currently and that means "Doing the work". As always thank you for your feedback, patience and critique.

    Additional page of form intersections located here: https://imgur.com/a/1rMORjn

    Took a little more time with this one specifically focusing on intersections. I think this is going to be my new go to for practice for awhile. That said, some of the intersections are starting to feel more natural. Need more practice with sphere intersections though.

    Thanks again for your feedback and help.

    ELODIN!

    What's up man! Couple weeks back I realized I was doing the "Silver" challenge and not getting "Gold". I also became a Patron which forced me to start over "sigh". I just completed the 250 box challenge oin "Gold".

    Thank you so much for critiquing my work. I am feeling a little discouraged at the moment because I have made so much progress in Silver. At the moment I am pausing on the "Silver" track. Thank you for all your help and insights. It's actually make the "Gold" track go alot quicker.

    Thanks man! Appreciate the feedback. Piece of advice I like to give beginners, remember its not a sprint or marathon, learning art is cross-continental journey that will test everything. Don't get too stressed or frustrated. Take it day by day.

    These felt really good this time around. I think the donkey legs can be improved on but I correct it in a warmup moving forward. I never thought I would be able to draw an animal at the start of this lesson. I am feeling alot of positive energy and momentum at the moment.

    Feeling a lot more comfortable with animals. Especially the heads. Feeling really good about the Cheetah. Thanks again for your time, critiques and feedback. It is helping me improve so much. You are one of the few that has been very active on reviewing work. Thank you for that. It has inspired me to go back and do more critiques for other students.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
