Voila, lesson 3 part 2!
I tried to focus on leafy plants to practice what you suggested. The rose was very tricky and I ended up restarting it a couple of times trying to get the form right. (I think my side note did a better job, easier angle I think).
I think the leafy plant is where I really started getting it.
Ninja edit: the images Aren't in the drawn order, that would be flower, leafy plant, rose.

We are not artists. We are artisans, and we are mastering a craft like any other.
I'm putting this quote on my wall.
I've definitely seen improvement too. I'll be happy to redo some pages. Just to clarify, is that three pages of the multiple plant lay ins or 3 of the specific plant studies?
Keep on hammering!

It's been a long time coming but finally here's my homework!
I started this lesson a while ago and kind of stopped midway. Just recently I picked it back up so there's a couple extra pages of lay ins from way back. I really struggled for motivation this time. Drawing plants isn't the most exciting thing and it was really frustrating when I couldn't find any decent pictures (finding the right angle and quality). But I pushed through. Any advice for future homework (or maybe repetition of this one ;p ) when feeling un inspired about the subject matter?
Thanks again for all your hard work Uncomfortable!

Lesson 1 complete!
I used a ball point pen, because I wasn't having much luck with felt tip that I bought.
Thanks so much for the encouragement to finally start learning!

Thank you very much for your comment. After reading your post about the topic I can see how a traditional background can benefit. I guess i was concerned that training on paper would slow my progress with digital, but that's sort of dumb.
Probably most of the students following your course want to move onto digital and I shouldn't think poorly about learning the analog first.
I'll be fetching my felt pens later tonight!

Hey, thank you for this subreddit! I just found it and I'm excited to get started.
I have a question before I start. You mention a lot that I should using a felt tip pen. I understand the reasoning for using that instead of a pencil.
I'm interested in becoming a digital artist. So I was thinking of doing these lessons digitally with my wacom tablet. This would really help me get used to my tablet as well.
Just curious on your thoughts about this and if you would accept it as a homework submission?

Awesome! This is the first times I've passed a lesson without extra work. So I'm feeling pretty confident and excited for the next steps.
