4 more pages as you instructed.

Going through the lesson again helped a lot.

Thank you!

I did struggle a lot with rhinoceros beetle's head. I was aware of sloppy 2D border that I carved out of the sphere, and could not quite wrap my head around doing it any other way. I will work on improving that.

About the images, I have been using an app called iScanner to take pictures. It has some cool features for border detection and perspective correction. Looks like when I have flash turned on(which i had to do because of low lit room), it does some image enhancement that increases the contrast. I will make sure to upload better pictures next time.

Cheers!

Here is my submission.

I have a question about general technique. I draw on my sketch book flat on the surface. My lines are smoothest when my head is right on top of the nib. Also, when the nib is further away from (not right under) my head at an angle, my hand blocks the part of the page where my line is going. Does it matter how far away is my pen from my body? If yes, what is the best position to practice with?

Thanks in advance.
