this was incredibly valuable feedback and i really appreciate the time you took. i do have a lot of bad sketching habits.
i definitely need to go back to practicing ellipses!

Your dissections were generally pretty good (with some variance). I do want to stress the importance of generally not falling into the hatching-trap. Sticking to other textures to convey the transition from light to dark is a lot more meaningful, and will teach you a great deal more about how to render long term, while hatching tends to be an easier fallback.
Overall though you did a good job, aside from the snake skin, where you didn't allow your texture to just go to full black. This resulted in the texture coming out quite noisy and distracting, and also flattened it out a great deal. Don't be afraid to let your texture get swallowed by by large, expansive shadow shapes.
thanks! i agree on the snake skin, it was not done thoughtfully could have been a lot better without the noise. definitely some hits and misses, but it was such a satisfying exercise...

finally, i return with what should have been the first piece. i actually did run thru lesson 1 before the challenges - but decided to redo it concurrently with the cylinder challenge, since it was such a change in approach to drawing and i was unsatisfied with my progress. there's also a giant gap in the completion of this... but whadaya know, i finally cracked down and finished those flying boxes. continually doing these exercises as warmups too.

took this on after the boxes... there's a big time gap but i'm back now!

thank you for the detailed reply! I did go through lesson 1 before I subscribed on Patreon but never posted it. I've been doing all the exercises as warm ups though and will continue to do that.

this is a really humbling exercise but now I look back and I can see a significant improvement in control and quality since the first few pages. There are still some pockets of weirdly terrible boxes near the end, but I think the baseline quality went up...
