Thanks for your critique.
Did you mean this plant that was looking two-dimensional because of a lack of ellipses? https://i.imgur.com/ZGhFhEr.jpg
I thought that for narrow branches, we didn't have to use center lines, because that ends up causing too much distraction. Do we?
With the details, I believed this part was optional. Can you point out some specific examples of where I didn't apply a gradient?
The problem can be seen on that page, but it's clearer on the page after it
I looked other people's assignments. It seems that it is optional to not use the center line for narrow branches. But I would say you should use it a bit more.
the leaf on the top left of your leaves page is an example of lack of gradient.
Can you please explain what you mean by me having a lack of gradient exactly for that leaf? Like, what is the difference between the shade of the detail (I'm assuming the texture cast shadows) and the shade of the leaves? I'm afraid I don't understand.
turns out I was the one wrong! what I did in my assignment is that I'd go around the leaf with my pen and add the details, highlighing all of it in the process and making my drawings visually noisy. here is an example of what I'm talking about http://imgur.com/gallery/JkuKHX9
when I wrote the first comment here I'd initially thought I was adding some kind of gradient to make things look more natural. But even that gradient would look the exact opposite.
the point is: your detailing is correct
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
