    First off Nice work!

    I'm only far enough into the lesson to crique your homework up until your textures.

    I think you did a nice job capturing the shadows but some of the lines are pretty scratchy which draws the viewer out of the illusion a bit.

    Looking at your textures I can see in some examples like the leaf and wood that the texture doesn't curve around the form quite yet, while some textures like the carpet and rope you did manage to have it wrap around the sasuage form.

    Hello, thanks for the critique! Here's the 20 more boxes: https://imgur.com/gallery/XAgmjkP

    Glad you're sticking to it!

    1. your lines seem pretty accurate. They do arch on some of the longer lines but keep practicing to make those longer lines straighter. Otherwise your short lines are quite accurate/confident!

    2. A couple of your ghosted lines wobble a bit - make sure to practice keeping those completely straight even if accuracy suffers a bit!

    3. Your ghosting of ellispes needs some practice - theres a decent amount of gaps and wobbly lines, through your second page seems better.

    4. You're pretty good at keeping your ellispes within the bounds, but once again your ghosting could use a little work. There's quite a lot of wobbling/unconfident lines on your second page too. Make sure you're drawing from your shoulder and that you're prioritizing confidence over accuracy! Accuracy comes with time (and lots of practice).

    5. Funnels- pretty good. You seem to have improved slightly with ghosting your ellispes

    6. Your plotted perspective boxes seem really good! There's little distortion and the lines of the boxes are accurately going towards the vanishing points.

    7. You got some wobbly lines and distortion on some boxes. The further away the box was from your vanishing the less accurate the lines became. That's something to keep in mind.

    8. Your rotated boxes are really well done. Some of the outer boxes could be rotated more dramatically- mostly the upper and lower ones. You have confident, accurate lines here.

    9. A bit of distortion. I also do feel like you could have rotated the boxes more dramatically, and that you relied on the Y formation a bit too much, which created similarly tilted boxes. Otherwise your lines are pretty accurate/confident.

    Thank you so much for the critique! I'll definitely think about what you said while I continue onwards!!

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
