    Hi, I was randomly browsing reddit and saw you submission and decide to offer some opnions, but I'm not going to crtic every page because I feel like I need to be careful not to give false advise and some page are just good to me.

    For the organic form, I saw really a few sausage have ends with different size and some ends are elongated, also some width are not even, be sure to make them same size and more spherical.Take a extra look at sausage rules, and for those contour lines and elipse, try be more carful when you plan the vary of the mirror axis of each elipse, some increase quite too fast , you did great actually , I just see something that I found you can do better.

    The arrows...nothing suspicious to me, and I like the fact that you put some note on to remind yourself.But don't write a single bad on it, explain why you feel bad to the future you.

    The textures, you are doing really great on textures, congrtulations, though I would suggest that never destroy some part and redo it, this is initially why I decided to reply you, try keep selling the lies you are now plotting even though it means the result might look awful, you will learn much more when you finish it no matter what you think it will ends up look like.

    The form intersection. It's a difficult one and you are doing great job keeping them look like in a same scene.The intersections them self are not that believable though, please take more look at Understanding how forms intersect, maybe try doing some intersection that only consist two planes, think about how a line, or even several points, can stand or say exist on both of the plane.

    The sausage intersection, again watch out for the sausage rules, plus make them short and fat, and try to extend some shadow to their below, I feel like the shadows are sticking too much, avoid this, even some few sausage look sticking to others too much, and that's why keeping them short will helps.

    And I also see you said you had not slept for 30 hours when you did the page. I would suggest that don't do excercise when you are not in a good condition, if my memory serves well, our teacher also mention this somewhere in the lesson — get yourself a comfortable place to draw, if not possible, at least try finding a local library, I think it's the same rule when it comes to sleeping. I guess sometime you want to get things done and it's a admirable attitude, I also have this kind of emotion, but remember you can't learn much when you literally can't think straight. My solution to this kind of situation is to sit down and doing my best drawing a single box, and that's it, I still manage to keep my streak drawing every day, but I'm not wasting time struggling between dizziness and exercise at the same time and learn nothing useful.

    btw, don't be ashamed when you think you took too long for a lesson, when l am looking at your work, I have a feeling that you are rushing at some point, I believe no time is too long when you actually value every mark you put on paper and you are doing your own best.

    And..that's it, I'm not native English so you might feel a bit confusing of my word, in case you can reply some specific part for further explanation.Hope to see your next submission and keep going!

    Next Steps:

    I didn't see your lesson 1 and 250 box challenge, it is really really really recommended to finish them first, but I think I didn't see sign that says previous lesson needs to be done to complete a lesson for now, so,

    your next steps is going to Lesson 3, be sure to be mindful of those tiny error and try correct them when you are doing warm up.

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.
