Congrats on finishing lesson 3--this looks fantastic!

Arrows: You clearly understand the idea here, and have the smooth swooping lines and hatching in. On just a few (like the upper left and lower right), the ribbon looks a bit wonky on the close side, but hey, this is fineliner work.

Leaves: Nice variety, and you got some good folds and bends. You continued to add variety in the 3D shapes, with some rippled edges in the plant drawings themselves.

Branches: Again, these look good, and the lines are smooth. I can see it's a bit difficult to hit everything with perfect accuracy, but that will keep getting better with time.

Plant drawings: These are lovely, and such good variety! You definitely lend a sense of 3D space as you follow the forms, and the texturing is really beautiful. There is so much volume to be felt here. One minor nitpick is that on a few occasions, the ellipses are tilted a bit from where the minor axis should be (such as the stem of the mushroom on the very left), but you generally nail it, so I wouldn't worry too much. Overall awesome work!

Next Steps:

Definitely move on to the next lesson!

Hi Tygerson, thank you for critiquing my submission. I'll keep your points in mind when I do these exercises as a warm up and while doing lesson 4. Have a great day!

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.
