These are mostly well done, there is the occasional mistake like extending some of your lines incorrectly in box 3, or not extending all 3 sets in boxes 1 and 2, but largely these are looking better.

If you're worried about not doing as well as Uncomfortable there's 2 important things to remember, he's using digital tools to make the video faster and the challenge a bit easier and that he's also likely a lot more experienced working with these concepts, don't underestimate how important mileage is.

The thing that concerns me the most in these boxes is that you're using whiteout to erase mistakes or abandoning boxes that you feel aren't good enough, one of the reasons we use ink is so that we have to work with our mistakes, they are valuable and we learn from them. Knowing you can erase your mistakes also tends to cause people to not take as much time planning as they need to, so please don't erase your mistakes going forward, you'll be asked to redo exercises if you do.

All that aside I believe you've shown enough improvement here that you understand the core ideas and will continue to improve with more mileage so I'll be marking your submission complete.

Keep practicing boxes and previous exercises as warm ups and best of luck in lesson 2.

Next Steps:

Move on to lesson 2.

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

thank you, Tofu, I just want to ask you something about lesson 2 exercise. On the texture analysis exercise, I Have to write notes besides the texture that I've done, I want to know if I need to write these notes in english, or can I write in my native language?

Those notes can be written in whatever language you're comfortable with. They're more for you, to help you reflect on what you're drawing, so that your analysis of the texture is more complete. It's not necessary that we understand them.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
