Hello! Here's my lesson 4 https://mrchearlie.tumblr.com/post/187217972400/drawabox-lesson-4
I just finished so my mind is a little numb to say anything important... but as always, thanks a lot for your lessons. I'm really noticing improvements within the lessons and on unrelated drawings. And thanks in advance for your feedback.

Notes for myself:
- Treat the construction of the leafs as scaffolding and not suggestions for the zigzagging edges.
- Push the leaves further to give more depth and tridimentionality.
- Build complex leaves, like the maple one, as if they were a group of leaves, and not skipping steps.
- Focus on the lights and shadows of the leaf veins, not to treat them like lines (lines don't exist IRL)
- Ensure that I'm blending the branches lines so they appear together seamlessly.
- Use texture to guide the eye of the viewer.
- Texture should do a particular job.
- Side towards having less detail rather than more. Else, texture might contradict construction.
Thanks a lot for the feedback! I shall continue on with lesson 4 then :)

Finished lesson 2 :D http://mrchearlie.tumblr.com/post/182562543755/drawabox-lesson-2
-I saw the dissections homework changed quite a bit. I don't know if mine's valid. Either way, thanks for your time!

Hey Uncomfortable! Hope you're doing great! I finished the 250 box challenge. By the end I start to scoring boxes according to how off the lines were according to the vanishing point just to have an extra help of accuracy I guess. Just in case you see weird numbers and don't understand what are those.

Thanks you so much for your feedback! I shall continue with Lesson 5.
Important Points for myself (and a rant about a failed butterfly hahaha):
-I´m going to be more careful with the sausages. If I remember correctly, lesson 5 starts with an exercise involving sausages so I will definitively will try watch out for those problems.
-I'll be more careful on how forms intersect with each other.
-Major focus on the intersections of the sausages. I remember applying them in the tarantula and it did help quite a lot. I... don't know why I skip that step before but... yeah... I skipped that step.
-Oh boy... the butterfly was the most chaotic of them all DDD: hahahaha I wanted to experiment a bit but every choice made things worse and by trying to fix my mistakes I only make things more obvious. Although the final result is a little bit better than what it could've been. Still a mess though n.n'
-Will try to adhere more to the construction and actual texture, avoiding going all the way with experimenting like in the butterfly.
