I believe I made them smaller because I misinterpreted this part of the instructions.
Start with juicier sausages, then work your way to narrower ones.
I will give it another shot. Thanks.

Right. If anything I just have had trouble seeing the sausage within more than anything else. I'll try to force myself to do so.

Thank you for your criticism. Indeed, I've been struggling with curves, and sausages only complicate the matter. I'm happy the extra work is gonna address that.
On that note though, one struggle I often have with sausages is that for many forms, I do not know how to (for a lack of a better word) sausagify something. Some forms I see in the image just feel way too different from a sausage and I don't realize I should be trying to represent them with a sausage. Any tips, or is this one of those things that just comes with practice? I suppose it's just a matter of stopping myself when I think I'm gonna draw a more complicated form.

My submission for lesson 4. Given my repeated hiatuses (life throws lots of stuff at'cha), I would bet money you'd recommend some makeup work. Regardless, I'm hoping to get back into the groove and see drawabox through to the end.

Hey Comfy,
Going off of your e-mail, I'm thinking lesson 3 is complete. Let me know if I'm mistaken though. Thanks in advance for the critique!

Hey Comfy, it's done! (or so I think) https://imgur.com/a/5lBe7t3
I feel like I improved with textures after the texture analysis, but there's a lot of times where I just notice bumps (or little valleys/indents) in things and I just don't know how to capture it.
I should note for the form intersections, it may not be clear but I made sure not to add line weight to the whole line for conveying an intersection/dominance. However, I did apply weight to entire lines to try and make the form feel more solid like in the 250 box challenge. Sorry if I wasn't supposed to do that. I also tried to avoid elongated forms, but a few might've popped in by accident.

Hey Uncomfortable. I tried to hold back on the nasty writing, but I couldn't forever. Perhaps I'm doomed to be like Doc.
Here's my boxes: https://imgur.com/a/Z699gUq
As a side note, I had 3 Faber Castells die in the first 100 boxes or so, and then for the rest of them, my Staedtler pen somehow survived and did very well.

I pretty much started on these right after I replied, just in-case your suspicion bells go off. I just had nothing better to do with the past 3 hours. I really don't want you to think I am rushing.

I can already see them getting better. I try to ghost the whole sausage and a lot of times what I notice ends up happening is the first end I draw is spherical, but the second end gets elongated at times. I'll keep working to adjust this.
These contour lines are still also really getting the better of me. I've found I keep undershooting them a lot, and when I try to adjust for that, I adjust way too much and overshoot.
