it's done!

i added some comments under the image descriptions !!

Hey there! We've been working on this lesson at about the same time! I think your work here is more than competent, and I have no real recommendations or insights to add. I would say at the most technical level that the organic forms were supposed to be uniform without tapering or widening, but I think you have the core ideas of understanding in regard to their dimensionality.

All in all, I think you're ready to move on!

Next Steps:

Move on to the next lesson or challenge as you see fit.

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.

With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

Michael Hampton's Gesture Course

Michael Hampton is one of my favourite figure drawing teachers, specifically because of how he approaches things from a basis of structure, which as you have probably noted from Drawabox, is a big priority for me. Gesture however is the opposite of structure however - they both exist at opposite ends of a spectrum, where structure promotes solidity and structure (and can on its own result in stiffness and rigidity), gesture focuses on motion and fluidity, which can result in things that are ephemeral, not quite feeling solid and stable.

With structure and spatial reasoning in his very bones, he still provides an excellent exploration of gesture, but in a visual language in something that we here appreciate greatly, and that's not something you can find everywhere.
