Hi again, here is my resubmission! I've also included the reference photos in the same album.

Thanks a lot for your constructive criticism. I have revisited the lessons which addresses the issues you point out. Also, what's really have been eye-opening is you mentioning the blackberries as an example of a drawing where I put less time into the specific parts the more complex the plant is. I think this may be because I find it challenging to approach a plant with many leaves. Hence why three of my resubmissions is plants with a great amount of leafs, I wanted to challenge myself with some drawings with a great amount of leaves while not going over the top with them. I still find it challenging when to stop, while I also want to present the greatness of leaves. I know it might be approached with flat back shapes to organize the shapes as in the potato plant demo, but I didn't see a suitable way to implement it for the leaves. I did however try it with the blueberries where the amount of berries started to get dense. Considering that, I am most satisfied with the palm trees, but that's more a happy accident more than anything.

Also. The feedback about the tracing over lines was very helpful. I have broken with that habit and have tried to be more upfront and conscious with the fact that every line and bit of ink on the paper serves a purpose and will help to develop a construction in 3D.

Lastly, I tried to spice the resubmission up with some texture as well. In hindsight I might have gone a little overboard on the palm trunk. When is the appropriate time to approach the texture challenge? Do you need to be finished with a specific lesson or can the texture challenge be done along the lessons?

Cheers,

Thanks for your thorough feedback! I will keep it in mind for both the upcoming lessons and the warm ups from now on. :-)

Thanks for your feedback, here is my resubmittion:

As far as the lines in the arrow goes, it was mostly an attempt at reinforcing my overlaps as described here: https://drawabox.com/lesson/2/4/step4 I totally see that I exaggerate this, and in addition I gotta admit I like to go over my lines a few extra times regardless. This is a bad habit I'll work with.

In my resubmittion of the contour curves I've drawn with only one confident line throughout the whole exercise without the form to the upper right where I went auto-pilot for a very brief moment. I'll really start to add single lines without drawing over them to be a part of my warm-ups to be more conscious about it. I hope it is okay that one of the forms I've drawn is the form you linked as an example, where both ends of the sausage points towards the viewer.

When you're criticizing the texture exercises I assume you are referring to both the texture analysis and the dissections? I appreciate your feedback here as this also was a part of the lesson where I got a taste of the deep end of the pool. As far as the crocodile skin and the tree trunk cross section I don't see how I may have done them any differently, when the only source of shadows is down in / between these 'cracks' in the pattern?

Thanks for your feedback,

Best regard,
