I already thought insects were gross. But doing this lesson has brought my trauma to the next level. This is not a critique, I just wanted to voice my thoughts after doing the exercises. It is after all a good and important exercise. I can see that.

Hello Cassiope23, I'll be the teaching assistant handling your lesson 4 critique.

This may be a moot point now, but I thought I'd better let you know that crustaceans, such as crabs and lobsters, are also appropriate for this lesson. So when you practice these constructional exercises in future you can choose to draw those kinds of creatures if looking at them is less traumatic than insects and arachnids.

Before I get to critiquing your work, there appear to be some pages missing from your imgur album. I can see from your numbering that you completed the required pages, but I can't find the following:

  • Organic forms page 1

  • Insect constructions pages 1 and 2

Please upload the missing pages and reply to this message with a link (so I get a notification) and I'll provide feedback as soon as I can.

Next Steps:

Please upload these pages

  • Organic forms page 1

  • Insect constructions pages 1 and 2

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hi Dio

Thanks a lot for your message and the confirmation that crustaceans are okay too.

Oh that's a bummer! I already had issues yesterday when uploading over the laptop and I thought I'd do it now over the app with a registration but I can't upload anything. Every time the page refreshes my content is gone. Is there another possibility to hand in my work?

Thanks a lot for the reply already!

Kind regards

Cass

Hi Cass,

I'm sorry to hear that Imgur is giving you trouble. Some students use Google Drive as an alternative for uploading their homework pages, is that an option for you?

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
