Hello Boxybox09, thank you for getting back to me with your revisions, It's good to see that you've taken the feedback provided on your page of leaves, although you're now skipping the construction step of adding edge detail, keep in mind that edge detail is another step of the construction process, and not optional.

Unfortunately it seems a considerable amount of my feedback wasn't followed through, some of the points are as follows:

  • Preplanning how many plants you want to fit on a given page.

  • Grinding the same constructions over and over again.

  • Not fully constructing certain structures such as the mushroom caps in your mushrooms.

As such I'm going to be asking you for some more revisions.

I'll add a couple of constraints this time:

  1. You can only add one single plant construction per page, put in as much time as you can into it, it must be made to the best of your current ability.

  2. None of your plant constructions can be from the demonstrations present in the lesson material, they must be original, please provide the reference along with it when you submit your work.

  3. Your plant constructions must be different from one another, they cannot be both the same type of plant structure, so don't go with two flowers, or two mushrooms, either go with a cactus and a flower, or a mushroom and a small fruit plant, etc.

Once you're finished, please reply with:

1 page, half of leaves, half of branches.

2 plant construction pages.

Next Steps:

1 page, half of leaves, half of branches.

2 plant construction pages.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hello Boxybox09, these look much better, you can still practice the ellipse degree variation in your branches and your complex leaf structures but your work is much more solid and sticks to the principles this lesson seeks to teach much more closely, as such I'll be marking this submission as complete.

Good luck in lesson 4.

Next Steps:

Don't forget to still practice these exercises during your warm ups.

Move on to Lesson 4.

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.
