    Thanks again for the feedback. I'll make sure to work on the leaves and branches. You're right: sometimes I lose focus and don't sufficiently think enough to make a mark and become careless. I'll work on this more during my warmups.

    I'll be more careful about my use of line weights, and more deliberate, using the ghosting method. It's just that sometimes, the as forms lay on top of each other, the drawing has a lot going on, and it starts to get confusing which forms lie on top of which other ones.

    Hi! Here are my new drawings:

    I paid a lot more attention to my line work this time. I realized that the first time, I was rushing a bit, and as a result not ghosting as much as I should have. I slowed down for these drawings, and hopefully you can see an improvement in the linework.

    I focused more on construction for the first 2 plants, a resubmission of peaches and the jade plant, making sure to draw a lot bigger.

    On the final plant, I focused a bit more on texture, an area that I still have trouble with. I tried filling in cast shadow shapes, but for some reason it still looks like the textures were "painted" on rather than just being there. Here's the mushroom I was drawing: https://s1.1zoom.me/b4158/440/Mushrooms_nature_Closeup_Leccinum_Moss_557206_3840x2160.jpg

    I would love advice on where to improve regarding textures. I sometimes have trouble distinguishing between darker tones and form shadows.

    Hi! Thanks so much for the feedback :)

    For the leaves, I misunderstood the instructions, and thought the edge detail and complexity constituted the detail part.

    For the three plants, should I redo existing plants or try new ones?

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
