Hello again! You're making progress but there are still a few things you haven't corrected:

1.You stil aren't drawing through your forms. Like I pointed out on the previous critique, you should draw all the forms completely even if the viewer shouldn't see them. So draw legs fully even if they're back legs and they're covered by the torso of the horse.

2.You are making intersections on places that aren't possible. When you are connecting two forms you must fuse them on a part where both forms exist. For example on the muzzle of the horse you connected one part of the muzzle to the air instead of the cranium of the horse.

This is the same with the way you connected the legs, drawing a ball on the middle of the legs doesn't actually connect them in 3d. The point of the intersections is to take 2 forms and fuse them as if you were building a new 3d form, so the drawn intersection must be part of the 2 forms.

3.Your simple forms still aren't completely simple. When drawing simple organic forms, they must be the same as on lesson 2, two identical balls connected by a tube of consistent width.. They can't be bent cylinders like the ones you used on the legs, or sausages that are bigger on one end than the other.

Before moving on I want to see one more page of another quadruped, make sure you keep in mind those 3 things!

Next Steps:

1 more page of a quadruped

Actively made an effort to draw simple sausages and draw through everything, and attaching the muzzle to the cranium to the best of my ability from the ref I used. Thanks for the crit btw

That's better, good job! The only thing is that you still aren't drawing intersections between forms. Like I said you always need to connect all the forms you add so never forget to do it. Here are a few examples of intersections you didn't draw and how to approach it.

So just before moving on give me one last drawing where you draw intersections connecting all your forms, good luck and keep it up, you're almost there!

Next Steps:

One last animal drawing just like the previous ones

Staedtler Pigment Liners

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).
