how long should I spend analyzing my images?

b/c sometimes I look at them for 20 minutes and still mess up the first stroke.

Also is this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71895074/DSC_0577.JPG essentially what you want me doing? It's not a submission, I just want to make sure I have the right idea.

http://ult-sketch.tumblr.com/post/140034610605 It took me awhile but I finally got around to finishing this. I followed your advice as paying more attention to the forms and construction and drawing through my ellipses, but I still feel there's something I'm doing wrong but I'm not sure what it is. Like I'm still symbol drawing details or constructing the forms improperly but idk.

Thank you. I missed the part about moving onto the next lesson for a moment there, so I asked how to stop symbol drawing without flipping the picture upside down (which is a common way to get out of doing it when drawing people, but is kinda void with something such as a fruit). I just feel like I could look at the image for a good five minutes and still end up simplifying the details, but I've heard its more of a gradient in getting out of it vs it being black and white. So yeah, I'll spend more time analyzing the details of the plants.

http://imgur.com/a/sEQk8 I redid the dissections and form intersections, focusing on drawing even larger and without any hatching whatsoever.

Update: here's a bonus pic b/c I feel my cubes were kinda off in the ones i posted in the imgur album. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71895074/DSC_0526.JPG

In the past few times I've done lesson 2, I was able to get the arrows/forms/dissections done in a few days, but it would be the form intersections where progress would go to a screeching halt.

do the form intersections still have to be four pages?

http://imgur.com/a/H1K42 I did pay attention to what you said about using hatching to describe the surface as well as generally drawing larger and tightening my ellipses.

In terms of why I go over lines several times, I was trying to follow your advice in terms of making solid forms look more solid. I also tried using it along with the hatching to show how the various forms intersect. But sometimes I just start putting lines down thinking "okay I want to add this now" and then I decide to change it, and it's a habit I need to get out of.

It's usually the former but sometimes both.

Was there anything else I did incorrectly besides what you mentioned? Also how does one ghost for organic forms and arrows?

What do you mean by not letting drawings bleed through the page and how do I go about preventing that?

Also how does one ghost for the organic forms and organic arrows?

http://imgur.com/a/pLiG6 Finally finished lesson 2. Imgur decided to upload my images out of order yet again. I felt like I could feel myself improving regarding understanding 3d forms, and while I still have a lot left to go, I will get there with practice.

http://imgur.com/a/kjNUX I feel like some of them ended up too isometric and some of them ended up too warped, and that my linework generally did not improve over doing this, and in some ways my boxes actually got worse.
