Thanks for the feedback. I dove back in this evening. while I don't see the pages as perfect, I could feel during the exercise the moments when I was "getting it" and then "losing it again" (maybe doing this one at 10:30 at night didn't help), but I look forward to your review.
Well, there is much less fraying than before, which is good, but I may have told you wrong in the first place. Between when I gave your first critique and this one, I had my own work critiqued as well, and they recommended I work more on Ghosted Planes instead of Ghosted Lines to help my penmanship, and maybe I should've had you do the same.
I hope I didn't waste your time by making you re-do the Superimposed Lines. I'll go ahead and mark you as complete. You'll also have plenty of opportunities to practice with the 250 Box Challenge.
Next Steps:
Go ahead and move on to the 250 Box Challenge, but also remember to set the time aside to work on Ghosted Planes as well, perhaps as a warm-up.
This is literally my first time back at the work since July 11th (that busy life and those spinning plates again). Clearer path in front of me now (I think.)
No worries on sending me back to the superimposed lines. There's no such thing as too much practice (well, there might be, but I'm sure that I haven't hit anywhere near that level).
I'll definitely warm up with the ghosted planes first and start moving on to the 250 box challenge. Also, I do have a note saying "This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete. In order for the student to receive their completion badge, this critique will need 2 agreements from other members of the community." is that something I have to submit for, or something you'd pass on to folks "in the know"?
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
