Hey, thanks for the critique! I drew the medical tape from life (and everything else), so I just drew the cast shadows as I saw them. I agree that it came out looking awkward and confusing - to that end I should have used my artistic license to choose a more dynamic and clear light source. At this point in my artistic journey, I have very little understanding of light and rendering, so that's my next stop after Drawabox. I found out about Dorian Iten's course and hopefully it will be as rewarding as this one.

The buttons on the speaker are roughly at the same level as the surface behind them - the two on each side slightly dip in at the middle and the two on the inside slightly pop out in the middle - so this was intentional. I am unsure of how I could communicate this to my viewers without confusing them.

I knew the comments about the tracing would come, and yet I still couldn't stop myself. I wanted my objects to ''pop'', because there are so many lines within the whole constructions. I know I could have done this more sparingly, but I am a sucker for contrast. And this is also a problem I have - I do care about my drawings looking good. The more time I invest in them, the more precious they become to me. I even keep all my warm-up's. I will try to follow your instructions going forward, but the pain is real xD.
