Imgur flagged the post as breaking the community guidelines…? I assume this is an automated classifier that has misclassified my submission as banned content, so there’s a chance posting the same images again will result in another post takedown. Regardless, I have re-uploaded the images to this link, for as long as this link lives…

Overall your work is coming along fairly well. I have just a couple of things to call out:
-
I noticed here from this drawing when adding additional edge detail, you had a section there which attempted to incorporate a lot more complexity all at once. Such things should be built up to in phases, as shown here on another student's work. Always be sure not to add more complexity than the existing structure can support.
-
You're a bit quick and sketchy with your branches. Take your time, and use the ghosting method. Ultimately when you're putting on subsequent edge segments, be sure to use the last chunk of the previous one as a runway, overlapping it directly rather than drawing where it ought to have been. This will help you learn more directly by forcing you to contend with any mistakes.
I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
Next Steps:
Move onto 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.
