Hello! You're doing better now with the organic intersections so good job! You are being more careful with the contour lines and the forms look more stable now!

Lastly about the horse, a few things:

It looks mostly solid, but you aren't drawing every single form individually, for example the legs of the horse aren't divided in simple organic forms, you are drawing them directly as complex forms. Make sure you always approach everything on drawabox by starting with simple forms and then building up complexity from there. Here's an example on your horse. If you need more masses you can add them using additional forms like this.

This approach is explained on the demos, so give a reread to the donkey demo for example to see what im talking about

Second thing is that detail makes it a bit hard to see what you've actually done on the drawing, so try to either skip on detail, or take a photo before adding detail (cast shadows, texture etc) so it's clear what you were trying to do with the drawing.

So! Overall you're doing a good job, but I'll ask you to do one more horse drawing to make sure you understood what I just explained, good luck!

Next Steps:

1 more horse drawing (remember to either not draw detail or to take a photo before adding detail)

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hello! I still can't see well your construction so could you do one more page without shadows at all? Because of how you're drawing it's hard to see your construction, the reason I asked you to draw without shadows and texture is because it's making it for me more difficult to see what you're actually doing. And don't do several drawings on a page, do just one horse and on a simpler pose if possible, a 3/4 or side view, try avoiding front views.

I think you're doing a better job with the forms but still it's hard for me to see, so please do one more drawing like I asked! Good luck!

Next Steps:

1 more drawing with 0 shadows of a horse in a simple pose

Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
