Hello Pentamenti, thank tou for getting back to me with your revisions.

Your leaves are looking smooth and energetic, it's good that you're not only trying to capture how these structures sit statically within space, but also how they move across it from moment to moment, but don't forget to avoid the generic hatching as it is a mistake that does not communicate texture and flattens the overall structure.

Your branches are looking really decently made as you're following the instructions for the exercise, you're drawing your edges in segments which allows you to maintain higher control over your marks and helps you create solid but still organic looking structures.

When it comes to your constructions they are coming along much more nicely, you're making use of the construction methods and techniques introduced in the lesson more thoroughly, but don't forget that you must always make use of the appropriate construction method in order to achieve the best result, in your last construction you've drawn your leaf structures with an ellipse, which has flattened and stiffened them, something that wouldn't happen if you were using the correct leaf construction method.

You're also drawing through your forms which allows you to create structures that are much tighter and specific.

In general your work is looking much better, as such I'm going to be marking this submission as complete, good luck in Lesson 4.

Next Steps:

Don't forget to add these exercises to your list of warm ups.

Move on to Lesson 4.

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

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.
