Starting with your organic forms, these have a few issues. Main thing is that they aren't quite adhering to the shapes we are aiming for. They should be 2 identical balls connected with a tube of consistent width. Other than that they are pretty confident, good job!

Into your insects, they look pretty good in general, though I can see a few problems.

The first one is that I can see you're trying to draw a first light underdrawing, and then to add lineweight to every part visible to the viewer, making a "final drawing layer". Avoid this. In this exercises, constructional initial masses should have the same importance as other lines, so don't try to make them lighter.

Here I drew over a drawing a bit to show how the third thing I noticed, that you are adding some forms as 2d shapes, instead of thinking how they are in 3d space, every mark you put down represents a 3d mass, and you should treat it like one.

Next Steps:

Alright, so your drawings are pretty solid and I can see a good deal of improvement over the drawings, even though there are the issues I commented on, you've improved on your use of the sausage method as well, so I'm not giving you any redos to do. Congratulations on finishing lesson 4, and good luck in lesson 5, your next step!

Thanks for the critic. Although I already finish lesson 5 and doing the 250 cylinders challenge now, but still appreciate the comment. The second point I already addressing in my lesson 5 exercises. The first point probably is me focusing too much on the creating a final drawing and fearing creating a mess using the same line weight on construction lines and "final" line works.

I'll try to go over your lesson 5 soon too, been taking a while because I've been pretty busy these days, but I've more time now. I'm still on the cylinder challenge myself so I won't be able to critique your stuff if you go faster than me though.

A good thing that helps on that final line work thing is thinking about the homework as what they are, just exercises. You're not supposed to create a pretty drawing. In fact, you can do a hideous drawing and the exercise can be perfect! So try not to beat yourself over it too much.

Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.

Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.

These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.

We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.

Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
