Hello,
good job completing the lesson! most exercises are done well, here's critique:
-
for Arrows I see a lot of chicken scratching (confidence >> accuracy in drawabox ), also there's not much of them you could have done more - I suggest doing some confident arrows
-
organic ellipses/curves - I see some lacking line confidence in some of them once again, also your sausage hardly rotate in 3d space - most ellipses/curves have same degree which while possible hardly happens in real life (look up some slinky photos), I suggest to try contours exercise with varying ellipses degrees
Good luck in your art journey!
Next Steps:
focus more on exercises I mentioned in your warmups and move on to Lesson 3

Adobe Photoshop
There are a lot of options for illustration software out there, but mine has always been Adobe Photoshop. I've been using it for nearly 20 years now, ever since I started fooling around with digital art, and it has served me well into my career, both in freelancing and in studio positions. One of the biggest advantages, in my opinion, for those jumping into digital art with Photoshop now is its accessibility. Where when I was younger, it'd cost hundreds, even over a thousand dollars for a software license, younger students can now get their feet wet with industry standard software for just $10/month with their Photography Plan.
