As always, your critiques are A+, thank you! The link in the second bullet point isn't showing, could you link it again?

Also, any recommendations for my warm-ups?

And I slightly feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot here, but should I do the 25 Texture Challenge, or move on to Lesson 3?

This took me FOREVER. Mainly due to work/life commitments but at one point I thought I'd be doing this tutorial into 2018.

Anyway, I was OK up until the form intersections. I've included the pages where I went, "WTF???", and then I watched your video tutorial and it was so much easier.

I've also included my warm-up pages for critique - is there anything in particular that I should be focusing on? Also, do you have any tips on creating shadows, especially for the organic intersections?

Thanks!

Hi Uncomfortable,

Here are my 250 cylinders. Is there a way of always knowing where to draw the minor axis through (especially when it comes to more circular ellipses)? I forgot to draw them in until halfway through, so when I went back, I was guessing most of the time.

Hi Uncomfortable,

All 250 boxes.

I also wanted your thoughts on my warm-up page, if possible. I'm currently spending 15 minutes on warming up: which areas do you think I need to focus on more and how can I improve?

Thank you.

I never thought I could be so pleased to be compared to a robot, yet, here I am! Thank you; I've done this tutorial before (a very long time ago) and I tried to be patient with my line work, so I think that helped.

I'll keep drawing A-B, B-A, and I always ghost in the same direction that I draw in, so it's a relief to know that I'm not making a crucial mistake (at this stage, I'm second-guessing everything but I hope that fades with time).

Thank you very much for your detailed critique and recommendations, and I'll be submitting my 250 boxes soon!

[Completed Lesson 1] (http://imgur.com/a/zWFGF)

I have a few questions about this tutorial:

• Your tutorial discusses the concept of drawing from A-B, but what about B-A (backwards)? I tried that substantially throughout the tutorial but let me know if it's bad practice.

• Do you have any advice on drawing tiny lines/ellipses/circles whilst locking in my wrist? I found that these lines were the most shaky and clumsy.

• Could you point me in the direction of an in-depth tutorial on line weights? I found it hard to get my head around, especially the idea of 'natural cues' and lighting.

Thank you!
