Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. I'll continue to work on all of your suggestions. And you're 100% right in the contour curves. I'm sure I was drawing too slowly and probably pressing a bit to hard as well. Drawing something other than a straight line or ellipse made me nervous, lol. I think I was focusing too much on accuracy rather than confidence in my strokes. I'll keep ghosting and focus more on confidence in all my lines. Thanks again!

Hi Uncomfortable,

Here is my submission for lesson 2: http://imgur.com/gallery/hIoXE3t

I found the dissections extremely challenging. Some of the textures came out okay while others not so much. I feel like I relied to much on stippling. While I think I'm seeing the details of the texture reasonably well, I have a very hard time figuring out how to represent it on the page. Especially with just black and white.

I also found the intersections to be very difficult. I feel like I improved quite a bit over the four pages, but I still have plenty of room to grow. I also found drawing circles for the spheres to be surprisely hard. Most of them are pretty sloppy. I think this is because in the exercise I'm drawing them about twice as large as those I draw in my warmups, so I need more practice there too.

I'm looking forward to your feedback.

Awesome! Thank you for your feedback. I had a feeling I was going to heavy on line weight, so I'll keep an eye on that, as well as continuing to draw boxes that are both shallow and deep convergence while warming up. Thanks again!

Hi Uncomfortable. Here is my results of the 250 Box Challenge.

This was even harder than I thought it would be. I think over the course of the challenge my boxes did improve, but I don't think my line convergence improved very drastically. I am definitely still having difficulty placing the last, hidden corner. Also, when I try to draw less dramatic perspective, I sometimes end up make the angles too large, creating diverging lines where they should be converging. I look forward to your feedback. Thank you!
