Thank you for the critique!
It was very clear and the links were really helpful. I hope I understood it well.
Here is the link for the additional drawings : http://imgur.com/a/6xzN5LN.
Did I correct the mistakes and is there anything else I can improve?
Thank you!
Yup, I believe you've shown considerable improvement in the areas I pointed out. As such, I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
One small point about this insect. On the big spines, you added a great many contour lines along its surface, and most of them don't actually end up contributing. The most meaningful contour line in this regard is going to be the one that defines how the spine connects to the larger form, and when done well enough, no additional contour lines are needed. So always draw that one first, then try and ask yourself whether you really need to add additional contours to better convey how those surfaces sit in space.
It's entirely normal for students to just assume "no it's not good enough" and pile on more contour lines, so you need to really be honest with yourself. Piling on more contour lines than are necessary just adds to the clutter, so you need to determine exactly how many are needed, and not overdo it.
Next Steps:
Feel free to move onto lesson 5.
Thank you very much!
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
