Hi and thank you for your critiques, I will take them into account for the future. As requested, you will find below a link with 4 pages of plant construction. I still had some difficulty with the texture.
Thank you,
S.
These are definitely much improved, and more in line with what was covered in the lesson. Just one thing - looking at the leaves of the plant on the bottom of this page, you're definitely zigzagging your edges back and forth across the previous phase of construction, as explained here. You should not be attempting to redraw the entire edge from one phase of construction to the next. You should only be drawing the parts that change, as shown here on another student's work.
Anyway, be sure to keep that in mind. I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
Next Steps:
Feel free to move onto lesson 4.
Thanks for your critique. I looked back at the reference (https://media.gerbeaud.net/2018/08/640/abricots.jpg) and it seems unvoidable to do this zigzaging, because the changes appeared all the way of the edges. I'm not sur to be clear. But maybe I should not follow completely the ref ?
Thanks again
Here's a quick example of how I would tackle that leaf without zigzagging. As you can see in the third step, I'm adding three individual strokes, one for each big bump.
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
