Thank you for the feedback! Indeed these were two major things I was worried about (line weights and sausages). Line weights I can just ball up and deal with, but if I'm allowed to ask a quick followup question: with sausages is it okay to draw the tube as two independent lines and finish up with the spherical ends? I'm usually intimidated by going for the whole enchilada (especially if it's thin). I'm guessing no because it likely undermines the solidity, but im gonna ask anyway

Howdy! I got really busy with school, so the drawings were spaced out quite a bit. They're in chronological order, and I think I'm happy with them for the most part. The rhino beetle and the assassin bug were pretty yikes though. I'm hoping I didn't forget the DAB approach too much in doing these, but I'm sure you'll let me know haha. Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you so much! I probably will look back at the new lesson 2 stuff since I definitely remember the texture exercise being pretty difficult for me to work out. I think going through the texture challenge later would really help with that too. Anyway, thanks again! I'm super excited for lesson 4 and the creepy crawlies ^^

Howdy! I finally finished up lesson 3. I believe this is in chronological order. The first plant (not the demos) was indeed done before I looked at the demos and realized "Wow! This is terrible!".. so I figured I'd throw that in with my other plants for the homework. The arrows I threw in after I finished my plants since the site had changed the requirements in that time. I'm ready to get roasted. Thanks!
Edit: I'm now a fan of mushrooms. Also while I have you, I'm still seriously struggling with any sort of rendering/detail work. I was afraid to do too much with the leafy flower kind of plants, but I went to town with the mushrooms. Any insight into that would be appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback!! Organic forms were kicking my butt when I started, but I'm happy that they are at least passable for now. I will keep working on them as I go along ^^. With the dissections I understand the theory of cast shadows, but my application needs 100x more work haha. Thanks for pointing out an example though, I will work on those as well :)

Howdy, here is lesson two: https://imgur.com/a/kW4VuYZ
This lesson was pretty rough (especially because DaB is the bulk of my drawing experience so far), but I know I learned a lot going through it. I'll let you do your thing, but two things I wanted to mention:
Dissections - the second page for these I felt pretty overwhelmed/frustrated, which is why I ended up experimenting without thinking things through. I'd realize a lot of my mistakes after I had already started, but for consistency's sake I kept it rolling (hence the "tree bark" and "fur" for example).. I was going to do a third page for submission and redo some of them, but I felt it would just be better to get feedback and then tackle them for warmups/homework. I think this was my weakest exercise, and I fully intend to improve in my approach.
Organic Intersections - this one isn't as dramatic haha. I just wanted to say that I realized the two sausages on the top were floating and I was going to add a sausage behind the main base one and spread the weight, but I felt that it would make the whole thing look messy. (edit: the one on the right sort of sits on the one below it, but the left is definitely floating).
Anyway, thanks for your critique!! I look forward to the feedback.

Hello again! I didn't mean to drop two submissions at once but I only just now thought about it .-. Sorry, but here are my boxes: https://imgur.com/a/qYgtMWf
I've only been drawing for a little less than 2 months so I feel like I learned a mountain of material from this challenge.. Confidence and line weight are two areas that I'd love to improve in, but I'll leave that up to the master to let me know :p. Thanks in advance, and I am excited to hear back ^^.

I'll try to shoot for the whole thing and use that as a backup. Thanks man! ^^
