First off Nice work!

I'm only far enough into the lesson to crique your homework up until your textures.

I think you did a nice job capturing the shadows but some of the lines are pretty scratchy which draws the viewer out of the illusion a bit.

Looking at your textures I can see in some examples like the leaf and wood that the texture doesn't curve around the form quite yet, while some textures like the carpet and rope you did manage to have it wrap around the sasuage form.

Thanks man I appreciate it. yeah the texture sausages were pretty difficult for me, but i think it's already begun to help me. Thanks for taking the time to look at work!

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).
