Ah, Christmas comes early!

Thanks for the thorough feedback. I will re-read and write some notes so I can try and get it to stick better. I will take my time with the next 4 pages as well, so you won't hear from me for a few weeks at least.

Seasons greetings/happy holidays/merry solstice.

Hi Uncomfortable,

Thanks for the feedback. Attached is the re-do of the 4 pages of animal constructions. I still struggle with "layering" on the masses, but I do see what you mean. (I found it difficult to add masses for larger parts of the animals, like adding the belly at the bottom of the sausage, or a "rump" at the top-rear of the sausage). At least the fox is a step in the right direction. Let me know what you think.

I have found the following difficult and would be keen to hear if you have any links/feedback on what I might be missing:

• adding masses for larger shapes (the belly, the rump, etc), I can tell I'm sort of just "tacking them on" when I can't see where they might attach.

• in which direction do I add the contour line on the sausages when they meet? I tried to add a countour based just off what I saw depending on each animal, but am I missing a "just do it one way" kind of thing?

• faces remain difficult, but at least the fox one improved. I struggle sometimes with getting the initial proportion of the head to the sausage right - guess It's better to start too small and add layers than to start too big?

Thanks again,

Hey! I'm not really qualified to give feedback but I wanted to say that your work seems really clean. I've been struggling with lesson 5 for a little while and have been looking at other submissions for inspiration. I see that you did some of the foxes that I have been trying to do - I can definitely see how you are using construction to build the torso / body out larger from the initial sausage - whereas I was having a tough time by making the initial sausage (and the ellipses it is based on) too large.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Uncomfortable! This was all really helpful and I will return to re-read it as I practice.

Until next lesson...

Certainly, that's fair. I can stand to look at some more insects / arachnids )(???) and circle round back to that. To be honest, the homework for lesson 5 has been pretty hard, so I think I need to circle back anyway and do more practice first.

Until then!

This is just wonderful. I'm thrilled to have feedback from you personally - especially the marked up images - it clears things up for sure. I should really be waiting to make improvements after getting feedback, but unfortunately I'm already onto lesson 5 (I don't know what else to do with myself during this pandemic—and really, your drawing course has been really beneficial for a way to unwind) I will keep your advice in mind going forward.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Thank you for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback, it was certainly helpful.

Cheers!

lol... yeah. That's the benefit of feedback I guess - I was working in a vaccuum thinking "this is probably fine" — so it's good that you pointed out a few things that I was probably hiding from acknowledging. Onwards!!

Thanks again!

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your critique - it was very helpful. You are correct on several counts - I'm definitely rushing at times and not ghosting. Thanks for pointing that out.

I have just finished the 250 boxes challenge (unfortunately, before becoming a proper Patron) so I'm sure some of the feedback you've just given will be relevant in my next submission.

I have also attached a redo of 1 page of plotted perspective.
