    Hello! here you go! I hope this is better. I realize I lost a bit of confidence with my lines in some places, and tried to correct some of the additional masses in some places. Hopefully it still shows some focus.

    Hello Andpie!

    Thank you so much for the feedback! Just a quick question, I was wondering if one of the three pages could be just a head? similar to the tiger head demo, since that was an area I entirely dropped the ball on? Or if they should be three pages of full body animal constructions due to the other areas I am lacking in?

    Thank you again and sorry about the pages that got dropped! I did have them they just got missed in the uploading

    Hello!

    Thank you for your detailed and carefully constructed critique! Especially during a hurricane at a mall food court! I wish you much luck!!

    I have some questions about revisions, but first I'd like to clarify a comment I had made.

    My avoidance of organic intersections was unintentional and subconscious. It was when this assignment made me revisit the exercise that I had realized my skills were lacking in exactly what the exercise hopes to correct. I have since attempted to refocus on the exercise that particularly highlights my weak points. I probably should have phrased my comment something along the lines of, I really appreciate how meticulous and thoughtful the course is to ensure skills don't get left behind and highlight potential weaknesses.

    I apologize for the miscommunication and confusion on my behalf.

    As far as my questions go, are you wanting more hooved or non hooved animals? or is it up to me? I could say I feel like I struggled more with hooved animals than non hooved, but unsure if that is what is portrayed in my drawings.

    Do you advise still 2 subjects and 2 full pages for each (summing to the 4 request revisions)? Or something else?

    I still feel like I fell into some of the same habits, but hopefully you tell there's an effort to fix them

    Hi! Just a quick question, I'm assuming you are asking for a page of organic forms with contour curves? and not a page of contour ellipses? Just wanted to clarify before I do the wrong thing. Thank you!!

    Hey Chiran! Thank you for the critique! I appreciate you starting off each one with something positive, and thank you for the constructive feedback! I reviewed the videos and the lessons you linked. I tried my best to keep things parallel and perpendicular in the rough perspective (there were definitely some places better than others) and I tried to be as confident as I could in the ellipses. Here is a link to my revisions, sorry it took so long! let me know if I forgot anything else.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
