Woohoo!

So about hatching lines, can I still use them for flat objects? e.g. shadows, objects farther away etc.

Regardless, I'll avoid using them for texture. They're kind of annoying to set up anyways.

edit: Thank you.

Hi Uncomfortable,

It's been one week since my last submission. I believe my efforts led to some positive changes. But feel free to prove this otherwise..

I'll do just that then. Thanks for taking the time to advise me. I'll submit my next in a week.

I will do as you say.

The reason for my responsiveness is that I'm not currently in school. No job either (by choice). I have my own apartment and way too much free time.

I had planned to finish your lessons as soon as I could, in order to move onto other online curriculums. I was aware you had other adult responsibilities. Though it seems in my self-interest, being too enthusiastic was detrimental. I am sorry.

Maybe it isn't my place to ask, but would it be alright if I split my time between your lessons and something else? There are many fundamentals I'm interested in. Or, should I try redoing the entire lesson several times, and send in only my "best" work?

I was planning to go hardcore 6-8 hours of art-related study every day. There isn't a lot of time left for me. I am young, but I've spent most of my youth doing frivolous things. It would be nice to avoid regret.

Here is my revision. https://imgur.com/a/Ijq0n

I tried not to rush this time. But I can't tell if these are better. Thanks for being patient.

Here's my lesson 3. But, it feels like I should be doing more with this assignment? I looked at other submissions and was conflicted whether my work required more detail. Thank you.

Here is my revision. Organic forms with ellipses + Organics with curves. https://imgur.com/a/rVzpU

I really appreciated your last write-up/critique. Its apparent that you put forward a lot of effort into it and without sugarcoating words. I think that's cool.

For the assignment, I'm having trouble adjusting the degrees of ellipses to depict the changes in angles along the minor axis. Tips?

Before starting the intersections portion, I spent two weeks on the box and cylinder challenges. Doing so has rid myself of any approach anxiety drawing both forms.

This video made the whole dominance idea click in my brain. I like the point you make at 12:02.

When you say spyglass/telescope, do you mean like, wider degrees on both ends? All else equal.

Thanks.

Finished. This challenge has made me aware of my weakness(es).

Should I also complete the 250 cylinder challenge before I start on Lesson 2's Form Intersections?

edit: thank you for the critique.

Drawing these boxes was tedious work. My main concern is drawing the same kind of box. I wasn't sure then if I was improving.
