No problem.

There isn't much bulging occurring but I'll try to describe it differently.

Imagine your arrows are ribbons, if they were completely straight their width would be consistent. If the ribbon was 1 cm wide it would be 1cm wide the entire length of the ribbon. Now if one end of the ribbon was further away it would appear narrower and as the ribbon moves closer it would widen consistently. If the ribbon bulges/widens suddenly it means the ribbon appears like it's stretching and is wider than the rest of the ribbon.

Is that a more helpful explanation? If not I'll try again and maybe draw up an example.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I think I understood this explanation better.

But I go over my arrows, and unfortunately I can't find those mistakes.

If it's ok, could you please draw up an example, it will be very helpful for me to understand it better.

Thank you,

Albert

No problem.

I've circled the spots I've noticed here.

Do keep in mind that you don't have many instances of this occurring, and when it does it is fairly minor.

The reason I brought it up in the critique is that it is something that can be kept in mind and will improve as long as you're aware of it and build up more mileage.

While it wasn't a large issue, it was something that did occur occasionally so it was worth mentioning.

Don't stress yourself out about it too much, just keep in mind that the goal is for your arrows to flow smoothly and consistently

I hope that helped clear things up.

Thank you very much, it helps a lot.

I will keep it in mind and the other critiques when I do my warm-ups.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
