This lesson was really fun. I forgot to take a picture of the first 4 bugs before filling them with texture, i hope that this mistake won't dificult the review but if that's the case I'm ok with redrawing if requested.
Hi,
I have recently finished this lesson myself and I did notice some things that you hopefully might find useful.
I noticed that your leg construction is pretty great. You are laying out the base pretty good and adding forms on top of the base makes the legs look really believable. The contour lines where leg sausage forms overlap help a lot there. Looking at your leg construction even helped me understand what I did wrong in my own homework.
While looking at your Citheronia Phoronea and Lobster heads, I did notice that you cut into head forms. I think that the course pushes us to try and add forms as much as possible because that way, even if the drawing doesn't look 100% accurate, we will learn more by doing so.
When drawing texture, try to darken the areas that are representing cast shadows and not to "color" the texture with black ink where the insect is dark colored.
It's my first time giving feedback and I felt like some of this information might sound useful to you.
Cheers :)
Next Steps:
I'm not sure if I have anything to add. To me this looks pretty good and I think that you can go to lesson 5.
Marco Bucci's got a ton of great courses available on proko.com, including some of the best videos you can find on using colour and light. Since a lot of our students want to break into working with digital painting however, I thought this course in particular would be a great start to get into the weeds with how to navigate the confusing world of layers, brushes, and more.
This course highlights programs across the full spectrum of options, ranging from the current industry standard Adobe Photoshop, to the Free-and-Open-Source darling Krita, as well as the mobile favourite, Procreate.
