I think I'm going to take a break and do some work on the 250 cylinder challenge. Then I'll come back and re-read your critiques and look over my drawings for this lesson with fresh eyes and then probably redo the whole lesson. I won't ask you do write another lesson 4 critique though, I expect you're plenty sick of my bugs ;)

I thought that by "take the weekend" you meant "take the weekend to do these drawings", but it just occurred to me that you might have meant "take the weekend off".

It's spread out across three pages - I drew larger. The legs still came out too small to have decent intersection lines. I made the exact mistake you described - stretched balls instead of sausages, but I noticed, and most leg segments I think are OK.
I keep fiddling with the angles of things, trying to get them to point through 3D space - trying to find an angle that points off or into the page. But I can't - the page is flat. So just I sort of have to pretend, like you describe. It's really tricky!

Oh damn. It looks like some of them are all blurry, I didn't notice. I can upload better images when I have some time later if you like.

Got it, I'll do those pages and get back to you!
I was trying to set my flare so it would show that I had completed the basics, (it didn't update from "Basics Level 1" after you told me to move on to lesson 3) and I think I turned it off by mistake, whoops!

Not terribly pleased with the results, but I don't know whether I'd be better served by moving on, or grinding on this lesson some more. What say you, boxman?

I encourage you to use forum software that's already available, then tweak it to how you like it. I totally get the appeal of building everything from the ground up and making it just right, but honestly you can probably get what you want tweaking something that already exists with a lot less work. I wish I could recommend some, but its been a long time since I did any real codemonkeying.
Also, maybe I'm just ignorant, but what's the deal with figure drawing? Is it ever coming back? I love your style of teaching so much, I'd love to do figure drawing lessons.

Thank you, your critique was insightful as always. I'll do my best to incorporate your advice into my practice. I won't waste your time with an elaborate reply. I saw like a billion pending critiques in the google spreadsheet, it looks like you've really got your work cut out for you! Good luck!

Thanks! Most every point you made was something I had sort of noticed, but didn't quite have the knowledge to articulate and understand. This is extremely useful, thank you. I'll do my best to apply your advice in future exercises.

Imgur still won't let me upload, so I used "imgbox.com" since it has gallery functionality and 'box' in the name. Click the arrow in the upper right to go to the next image.
