This took me at least 2 month to finish because of school exams. mid way through the homework I lost my pen and got a new one and let me say this, the new pen stuck it cause a lot smears on my paper, and the box said fineliner and it not a fineliner it at least a 0.7. So half of it is done with the new pen and the old pen.

I see that you have try your best to finish this lesson and you have done it well. I know the texture exercises are super hard and these will help you to improve more if you try to approach it several time more such as read couple of times and try to think about it critically to fully understand it. So my recommendation for you is to do some of exercise in Lesson 1 as a warm-up to improve your lines quality and try to think more about construction because the aim of the course is to understand the construction not to mimic the picture without using the brain. Be happy while drawing because it will help you grow

Next Steps:

You should move on to the next lesson and try to understand the lesson before moving to the exercises

Some other minor things I'd like to point

-There could be more variations of degrees of ellipses in organic forms with ellipses exercise. They look very similar overall.

-In dissections, you could use density and contour lines to wrap the texture around. Remember, texture will go around a form and edges will be darker than the center. Same goes for organic intersections, as cast shadow would wrap around the form underneath.

Congratulations!!

Marco Bucci's Getting Started with Digital Painting

Marco Bucci's got a ton of great courses available on proko.com, including some of the best videos you can find on using colour and light. Since a lot of our students want to break into working with digital painting however, I thought this course in particular would be a great start to get into the weeds with how to navigate the confusing world of layers, brushes, and more.

This course highlights programs across the full spectrum of options, ranging from the current industry standard Adobe Photoshop, to the Free-and-Open-Source darling Krita, as well as the mobile favourite, Procreate.
