I see! My mistake then, but I'm glad you followed that instruction properly here. There is definitely a wide variety of results here - which suggests that you are gradually grasping the concepts I'm explaining, but it's not always a solid understanding.

I'm going to focus most of all on this horse drawing, as it is one of the more successful ones. There are a number of things you're doing quite well here:

• I can see you doing a much better job of wrapping all your forms around the underlying structure. Not all of them are perfect, and as a whole it can be exaggerated further (how they wrap around that is) but there's a lot of improvement here.

• That said, there are some additional masses like the one on this front leg which ended up reading as a flat shape, rather than something that actually wraps around. So there is still lots of room for growth.

• The head construction has come out quite flat, because the muzzle was drawn as more of a flat 2D shape rather than a boxier form. Because we're looking at it from the side view, this is definitely a problem, but it simply means that we need to accentuate the things that will make it feel 3D all the more. In your last submission, your head constructions were actually coming along fairly well, so you do know how to do this.

• Your observation here is MUCH Stronger than before. Not perfect, and if we look at the negative shapes between the legs there's still a lot of deviation, but it was still a huge move in the right direction - especially compared to the other drawings in this set where the observation was still somewhat weak.

• For now, I wouldn't add hatching lines to the legs on the "other" side of the body. This is a valid technique you can use to move focus to the side of the body closer to the viewer, but in this case I do not think it is doing us any favours here - we want to focus entirely on construction for now, additional matters of presentation can be left for later.

• The tail is something you generally struggle with quite a bit, and it's because you end up drawing it as something that doesn't really convey any sense of flow or fluidity - the tail is more akin to the leaves from lesson 3, where they're not heavy/sturdy things, it's more a representation of motion. The complex shape you constructed there may somewhat capture the general shape of what we see, but it doesn't convey the movement that the photograph gives us - so instead of trying to precisely capture its complexity as a two dimensional shape, focus instead on applying the principles of leaves from lesson 3, starting by defining a "flow line", and then creating your shape with simpler edges. Don't worry about capturing the tail accurately as shown here. Focus instead on what the photograph is showing you, and conveying that to the viewer.

If all of your drawings in this set were at the same level as the horse, I'd definitely mark it as complete - but since they're not, I'd like you to do another 4 animal constructions, focusing on how you approached the horse - specifically observing your reference more.
