Yes, texture is a bit of a problem to me but I'll take your advice and THINK before I do anything.
Thanks a lot for the feedback.

Alright. This took me longer than it should have. In the beginning it seem a lot easier than the plants but once I got to the grasshopper I just... blocked and suddenly it was very difficult and I got frustrated. So I took a short break from the lesson and then got back to it and finished it. But all in all it was intersting - it was challenging but not impossible.

Honestly your lessons have been a great motivation for me. Ever since I've started I felt this desire to draw (that I've always have had but have never really put it into use and I don't really now why). I would draw every now and the when I felt REALLY inspired but that was it, noting special, not doing object studing or anything. But coming across your lessons and wanting to do art as a job have really got me going. I can't wait to see the next lesson, complete the next exercise, submit homwork, get critique etc. That sort of ... organisation has boosted me up and now I try to draw everyday even if it's just a few circles or boxes because now I know that that will be helpful. And with every step I take to completing the lesson I know I am getting one step closer to my goal - to be able to draw well. I like how you have variety in the material you present, well it's still sort of the same steps but aplied in different ways (plants, insects, animals etc) I really can't thank you enough. And I bet I am not the only one who feels that way. And as soon as I can I will start supporting you via Patreon, because the job you do here is absolutely amazing and is a great help for peole like me and for everyone on this site.
And yeah ... I think viewing your golas and knowing what you want and how to get there is a big motivation. So don't give up, guys. We can do it. :)

6 days, 7 pages and 250 boxes later - here is the result - http://imgur.com/a/nmDFx#6
Once you understand how the boxes work they are really fun to do.

Here is my redo of the elipses exercises - http://imgur.com/a/GSy2r#0
I also went back and fixed my shading. It looks better now.

Hello :)
First of all I want to thank you for all the amazing work you do in this website and for the (FREE) information you provide for people who want to learn to draw or get better at it. It is absolutely amazing and generous of you.
I did the first lesson and was really pleased with the way the information was presented, the excersises and the fact that you give assingments. I've been looking for a website like this for a long time and I am glad I found drawabox.
I didn't expect it would take me nearly a week to comlete the homework fot the first lesson, but it did. And I am glad it did because not only did it help me improve but it also made me realise that it's is better to spend more time and get the fundamentals right rather than rush through them and have trouble with the more complicated things. So, yeah here is my homework - http://imgur.com/a/iT1Wx I really enjoyd drawing boxes. I had some trouble with the elipses at first but after 2-3 filled pages sort of got the hang of them. :D
Thank you for your time. :)

Good luck with your accommodation problem. And I now it's a bit early but still have nice holidays as well and hopefully you'll be back with lots of energy in January. We'll be here waiting for you. :D
