I started Lesson 2 in mid-August, took a hiatus in the middle of Dissections, and resumed a week ago in mid-November to finish the rest of the lesson. So there's a gap of about ~2 months in the middle of Dissections - you can see the dates on the pages - but I think I was able to pick up the techniques sufficiently to continue without repeating stuff.

Thank you very much for the critique!

I myself am not too ahead of you. But Itry non the less.

So firstly: Always think about the direction of the light. I see teht you understand 3d space but For example the sponge texture has the light change direction.

Also i think the waffle texture isn t following the form and pespective of the obiject.

Otherwhise you are ready to move on.

Next Steps:

As I said your ready to move on. Maby do some more dissections as warmups.

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. I think my textures were the weakest parts of this exercise, I plan to do the 25 Textures challenge eventually in the future. I'm moving ahead to Lesson 3 now - thanks for giving your input!

Sketching: The Basics

Sketching: The Basics

A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.

Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
