Hello good sir. It's been some time now, has it not? You've grown quite a bit. I bring gifts from the land of ink and paper. Trekking through the desert of practice, I hope your critique is but water to my dry throat.
Lesson 4 Sketches, Studies, and Rough Work
Till then,

This was difficult. I had to let go of perfectionism here more than any time before. Crippling at times.
Notes:
I like doing leaves.
I also switched over to Cottonwood Arts sketchbooks 3/4 into the lesson, which accentuated my mistakes, removing all room for error. That hurt too. A solid beating this month so far.

Lesson Two came quick after the 250CC as I did it during intersections. I think the organic intersections are a better representation of my contour lines, as I did a lot studying before going into them. I also heeded your notes on line weight, which changed into the 3rd Intersection exercise and on. Take your time, thank you.

Hey Mr. Box, before doing form intersections I went ahead with this challenge. I enjoy doing them within boxes more, as it gives a much better understanding of cylinders in space. The tough part was keeping the ellipses on the minor axis (practice), and if I got it wrong, to balance out the other end.
For future reference, is there a way to check corrections? With the boxes you can extend groups of parallel lines. It felt that without having a box first, all I can check for was the minor axis and not perspective. Thank you!
