Hey:) Here's my homework for lesson 2 + the fly you've asked me to draw

TBH. I always had problems with absorbing information. I'm schizophrenic. ( I can scan my diagnostic papers to prove it)
I'm also attending a life drawing class. And my teacher said I might not be ever good at drawing straight lines as my hands shake quite a lot. (Neurological issues. Specifically, I had such massive anxiety attacks as a child that my nerve endings kind off got a little destroyed there the psychotic episodes also contributed to that)
Admittedly enough. Right now I'm also going through Scott Robertsons "how to draw" book (which you recommended). So maybe I could just do all the exercises in that book both digitally and traditionally and then give it to you as homework? I mean they'll teach me a lot about perspective and construction which I think I need to learn/practice more before I tackle drawing animals or vehicles. I personally think that's a better idea than going through lesson 1 and 2 from the beginning. As I plan to go through Scott Robertson's book anyway. And I think it's normal for special needs students to need to do some additional reading/exercises.
As it also tackles the same issues as lesson 1 and 2 but also will help me better understand perspective. So I'll be learning two things at once.
Admittedly my ultimate goal with drawing is not to 'be a concept artist' or anything like that. I want to be able to storyboard my animations (I'm learning 3d modeling/animation through self-teaching too) and I think we're going a bit too 'perfectionistic' here.
If I could also approach the 'drawing vehicles' lesson digitally that would be great. Admittedly the huuuuge number of support lines etc really overwhelms me sometimes and I'm really scared of that lesson.

Okay:) I re-did lesson 3. I even asked my girlfriend if it's better than the last attempt before sending it and she said it was much better

I did read those articles but I'll read them over again. I'll do this lesson again.

I drew more pages of leaves because I figured if I drew 4 pages of leaves it would the same as one filled up to the brim with leaves.
I also drew a few more plants because I know some of the plants I drew were not good enough.

Okay:) I've re-done lesson 2. I hope it's better now. If this is good can I skip the texture challenge? I'm admittedly way more excited about lesson 3.

I really, really struggled with this one. I hope it's not completely horrible

Heh. I admittedly drew smaller to save paper. I will do another 50 and then get started with lesson 50. And I'll definitively draw larger things from now on:)

I admittedly had a hard time drawing those cylinders. http://imgur.com/a/gJhMW
Did I do good enough? Can I progress to lesson 2?

Hello:) I drew 250 boxes
http://imgur.com/gallery/lmyj2
Are they good enough for me to progress? Should I now draw 250 cylinders or progress to lesson 2?

Hey Uncomfortable:) I re-did lesson one as you asked
If it's good enough should I move onto lesson 2 or draw 250 boxes and 250 cylinders first?

2017-07-11 18:52
Okay:) I have done as you said and re-did the lesson
I hope it's better:) If it is should I go to lesson 2 or should I draw 300 boxes and 300 cylinders?

Hey:) I've just pledged the $5 on patreon. I have to say that after a week of doing these exercises I've noticed pretty drastic improvement in my drawing. I'm able to now draw a straight line without it looking horribly.
I still have a long way to go but I was astonished when I did the last exercise and it didn't look horrible. I really look forward to your feedback.

I also have that. I use lazy nezumi on my tablet and it helps.https://lazynezumi.com/
