Thanks :)

Wow I'm grinning all over my face - thank you, that was really encouraging!! And surprising because this challenge felt really difficult. Your explanation about foreshortening and degree vs scale honestly has my head spinning a bit but I think I understand it, it was definitely subconscious though.

Alright I'll move on to lesson 6 :)

Hi Uncomfortable,

Thank you so much! I feel like I keep making the same mistakes with getting caught up in detail and drawing from observation, and forgetting to ghost / not having the patience to lay down each mark more intentionally. I know in my head I should, but when I practice I tend to keep falling back into bad habits. I'll really try to watch this!

Thanks again!

Hi Uncomfortable,

Wow, thank you so much for the critique! Especially all the links! I'll definitely be saving them and coming back to this feedback for future reference. I struggled with a lot of aspects of this lesson (not least the subject matter) and your feedback has really helped me with seeing how to improve my understanding of what to do. To be honest I think also that a big part for me is that there's a constant internal battle of wanting to prioritise getting the proportions right or capturing the gesture or the mood of what I'm drawing, and then forgetting or undermining the form in pursuit of that, even though I know I shouldn't. I'll try to curb that as much as possible for these lessons!

Thanks again! I'll move on to Lesson 5.

Hi,

Thank you for the detailed critique! I'll work on all those things and move on to lesson 4 :)

Thank you for the critique! I'll practice and move on to Lesson 3 :)

Thank you, that was really helpful! I feel that I struggled with this challenge overall so thank you for the detailed feedback. I'll head on to Lesson Two!

Thank you! I've done a fair amount of drawing from the wrist without ever knowing I could draw from the shoulder (self taught), so it's a struggle to not revert to bad habits. I think I'll need to practice these exercises a lot on my own until this sort of mark making becomes natural to me.

Thanks for the detailed critique!

Whoo thank you for the detailed critique! Much appreciated. Yes I do struggle with making sure I'm still drawing from the shoulder and keeping my lines straight and accurate. I'll keep everything you said in mind and move on to the 250 box challenge now :)

Hey Blippy,

I think the issue with the organix perspective exercise for you is that you didn't converge your parallel lines. That's how the Y affects the box. The way you've drawn a lot of them, they look isometric, as if they're not seen in 3d perspective.

Also I think you could swork on your confidence / smoothness with your lines and ellipses.

Otherwise I think things look good! Hope that helped!
