I'm so sorry I missed that memo. That being said, I'd be happy to make a donation to continue critiques. I can't afford a whole lot right now, but I can definitely send a little your way.

Thanks!

I tried to take your suggestion from Lesson 1 and focus on ghosting lines and building confidence. It definitely starts out rough. As I neared 250, I felt like I hadn't really spent enough time with it, so I went all the way to 390.

Oh, I also moved and got myself into a predicament (i.e., house wasn't ready so I'm living on the fly right now), so I didn't have any of my pens. I grabbed pens from work (ha), which included a red ballpoint pen and a black felt tip pen. Eventually, I moved in and found my Microns, so the final 30 are with drawn with a 05.

Here's the link.

Thank you for the feedback.

I definitely got ahead of myself and didn't read the instructions as thoroughly as I should've. I think I just went based off the example for the super-imposed lines homework. I'll be sure to read the instructions more carefully in the future.

As for ellipses, I definitely see what you're talking about. My instinct is to work from my wrist, so it feels like I always remember the moment the ellipse gets narrower at the top. That's when I typically course correct and use my full arm, which results in several 'go-rounds'. I need to start from the shoulder from the get-go.

Lastly, the ghosting lines exercise is one I definitely need to take more time with. I'm going to do the 250 box challenge before heading to Lesson 2.

Thanks again!

Here's my homework for Lesson 1.

Thanks for doing this, btw!
