Hello tygerson! These are looking pretty good, Only thing I can see is that on wheels such as 24 or 25 you are doing the texture of the wheel outlining forms, whenever drawing texture on drawabox we want to only draw cast shadows, so keep that in mind whenever you try drawing texture again on these exercises. Example here

Other than that you're understanding well how to use the degrees (Even if you cant vary them much because of the ellipse degree restrictions) and the forms are looking pretty solid. So I think you're ready for lesson 7! Good luck!

Next Steps:

Thanks so much! Yes, I agree that my texture/cast shadow thing needs work!

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.

Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.
