Looks like you weren't the only one replying a little late, haha.

Overall, I think you've done a good job at conveying the forms of the animals that you've redone. The main thing I want to bring attention to is your line work. It's really important to have clean lines, as they allow you to better convey an object's "3-D-ness", as well as making techniques like adding a boldness to your lines more convincing.

Good luck on whatever you may pursue in your life!

Next Steps:

  • move on to next lesson/challenge

  • spend more time doing line work warm-ups

This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete, and 3 others agree. The student has earned their completion badge for this lesson and should feel confident in moving onto the next lesson.

Take the form on top of the horse's body for example.

Notice how the how the way you drew it makes it look very bumpy. While that may be what you saw at the time, it certainly doesn't convey solidity. If those lines had been smoother, it might've looked different than what you were seeing in your reference image, but it would read better as a solid, 3-dimensional object.

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.

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.

Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.
