Hi Joxmarf! Thank you for your critique!

It helps a lot :D

I never realized until now that I was breaking the shadow rule - thank you!! I did my best to use cast shadows only in these two and not distort the sausage forms.

For the scorpion’s fused abdomen and thorax I tried to use an ellipsoid and a bent box like in the scorpion demo.

I hope the three points you mentioned are covered a bit better now.

Ahh these are so awesome! Well done :D my only comments are to not overuse contour lines (the more you add, the less effective each individual contour line is) and to not forget the intersection between the sausages for the legs, as they convey how the leg is folding.

Next Steps:

:) Congrats.

This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete, and 2 others agree. The student has earned their completion badge for this lesson and should feel confident in moving onto the next lesson.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff is a ubiquitous name in art instruction - not just through his work on the Draftsmen podcast and his other collaborations with Proko, but in his own right. He's been teaching anatomy, gesture, and perspective for decades, and a number of my own friends have taken his classes at the Laguna College of Art and Design (back around 2010), and had only good things to say about him. Not just as an instructor, but as a wonderful person as well.

Many of you will be familiar with his extremely cheap 1994 Perspective Drawing lectures, but here he kicks it up to a whole new level.
