Hi, thank you so much for the detailed response!

The info and diagrams for the texture analysis are super helpful!

As for the response for my first question, I just wanted to say that I think there's been a bit of a misunderstanding. You see, I understood the part about following along with the demos, and that is in fact what I did. However, for the homework that is required to be submitted for lesson 3, I understand that most of the submissions should NOT be from the drawings I did while following along with the demos. That begs the question though, what is the rest of the homework supposed to consist of? I interpreted it as meaning that the homework should consist of "drawings of all the plants from the demos, using your own reference photos (from the internet, for example) of those plants, for the most part", which is what I submitted. My question was whether that interpretation was correct, or if I was supposed to find reference photos of completely different plants that were NOT featured in the demos. For example, one of the plants in the demos is a king's oyster mushroom. For my homework submission, I drew a king's oyster mushroom using a reference photo from the internet. Was I supposed to do this, or was I supposed to draw any other plant than a king's oyster mushroom, since it was featured in the demos?

Sorry if that was long winded but hopefully I got my point across anyways :)

Thanks and take care,

Noah

Ahhh, I see. No, the drawings do not specifically have to be of the plants tackled in the demos. You can pick reference images of whichever plants you like.

Ok, great! Thank you so much!

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.

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
