Yeah. It has been a long time and a lot has changed on drawabox, and, without a doubt, for the better. Before attempting lesson 3 I did go through all the previous (but now updated) content, and from what I remember this website is now even more of an amazing find for someone who really needs some structure to their learning. Rustiness was definitely a concern for me too, but I ultimately decided that I remember most of the things I learned, and apart from couple of exercises chose not to redo anything completely. And I guess it worked out in the end.

Anyways, thank you for the critique and advice, I'll try to keep all of it in mind for the next exercise. Especially the lifting-the-pen one, because I definitely do stop before lifting, and the whole idea of doing it in reverse is kinda... strange to me. I mean, it makes sense for confidence's sake, but I feel it would take some time to get used to.

And about those ellipses for petals. I haven't really meant them to serve as bounds, more to establish some sort of general plane they all settle around, to better visualize perspective and "believe" into 3d-ness of space myself. It's a thing I should probably work on visualizing better in my mind, so I'll try to avoid doing it next time, but it definitely helped me there I think.

Oh, and as for the previous lessons, here they are, for completeness sake, I guess.

Hey! If this is okay, I used to have a different reddit account for submitting these, but I'm going to use this one from now on. I've sent you a message on patreon with my old username. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Anyway, here's is my lesson 3 homework https://imgur.com/a/gOxYbJn. Thank you.
