Lesson 3: Applying Construction to Plants
2:50 PM, Thursday February 29th 2024
Kinda proud of this one although I think I could have done branches,potato plant and catcher plant better.
(Texture on first 4 was added later)
Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your exercises for lesson 3 today
First of all for The organic arrows and the leaves exercises: your lines look pretty clean and they imply a good understanding of how these objects exist in 3d space so great job.
As for the branches exercise You tend to have Very Visible tails Which is expected from this exercise but you made it very noticeable , especially in your plant constructions, which is why I am going to ask you to draw another page of it.
now for the plant constructions: and before I start I have to point out that More than half of the plants you drew were Demo plants and it is stated Here That more than half your plants are supposed to be non demo plants, I am not going to make you redo it but keep that in mind for future lessons.
Also Please write the number of the pages in your future submissions, it is going to be a pain to specify some of the plants.
Now assuming that you used the refrance provided in the demos your King oyster's head is a bit too small and that may stem from you rushing the drawing. Other than that you did a good job with the drawing.
As for the Other textured mushroom I think that the construction is really good but the texturing on the holes of the mushroom looks flat. Since it isn't a major part of the lesson 3 I won't ask you to redo it, but I recommend trying the 25 texture challenge if you want to work on your texture skills.
The other untextured mushroom Looks flat in terms of the stem and I will make you redo it.
The fly trap plant looks squished to the left for some reason, but it is constructed really well for the most part so good job on that.
The rest of the plants look well done and the only mistakes that I can see are stuff from the branches exercise.
Next Steps:
Your next step is doing one page of the Branches exercise And redraw the untextured mushroom
Hi thanks so much for review.I cant believe I forgot to do plants that aren't included in demos,I did lesson 3 in February on every other day so during that time I probably forgot that I also needed to do other plants since I finished all the demons on 29th.I wanted to ask if is it okay that in addition to branches and untextured mushroom I also do 3 other plants for construction?I feel really stupid and want to do whole lesson 3 properly.
Hello again, If you really want to make more plants, it is better to do them for the 50:50 rule. Your exercises for draw a box are not meant to be pretty, even if you find it pretty it is more of a side effect rather than the main goal, your exercises a meant to show a good understanding of the lessons taught here and grinding will only get in the way of your learning.
right thanks

Great job. I think that you are ready for lesson 4. I also just noticed that your Ellipses are not changing in degree, Don't worry I won't make you draw that exercise from lesson 2 (especially since lesson 4 got you covered), Good luck.
Next Steps:
Your next step is Lesson 4
I also noticed that.I am gonna practice some L2 exercises as warmups to try to fix it.Thanks so much for the critiques good luck to you too.
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
