Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your exercises for lesson 4.

First of all: organic forms with counter curves. You did a good job following the instructions and the sausages look well made so good job on that.

As for the Insects: Overall I can see that you didn't draw the intersection/joint for Most of the insects you drew .

The demos look well made for the most part but The Wasp is drawn in a way that makes the abdomen look Disconnected from the thorax.

I don't have much to say about the other demos other than that you did a great job.

For the stag beetle I noticed that you attached the left "arm" in a wrong place in the thorax. While In reality limbs are supposed to be parallel to each others, or at least start from places that are parallel to each others. This is not really important for draw a box, but I thought I should point it out.

as for the spider you did a good job with the construction, but you should have drawn the outline of the Shadow of the limbs that are touching the the wall Because them your spider looks stretched for no reason.

From what I can see, The rest of your insects looks pretty good and I think that you are ready for lesson 5

Next Steps:

Your next step is Lesson 5

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.

Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
