Lesson 4: Applying Construction to Insects and Arachnids
11:13 PM, Saturday May 1st 2021
I'm much happier with the results of these exercises than I was with Lesson 3, but I'm a bit disappointed. I'm still struggling greatly with texture, particularly in trying to figure out which details to leave or keep out in the drawing and how to effectively portray the cast shadows. I think my marks are just a bit too messy as well (I probably need to switch my pen, which is getting pretty worn out) which is making some of the details like legs and extra forms harder to see. That being said, I think this exercise helped restore some confidence in my progress after Lesson 3.
