Thanks for your comments!

I have noticed myself that I stop using ghosting technique and start drawing without proper thinking after some time into the drawing. I will work on being more focused and thoughtful during the entire drawing session.

I still mess up with ellipse on the further end - it is almost always with wrong degree. Also not really happy with messiness\untidiness of my lines.

Thanks for critique!

That's weird. Yesterday I didn't have the button for whole day, but today after reading your message - I checked and it was in fact there. Though after navigating through website (clicked on lesson 1, changed lang from eng to esp, clicked back on lesson 2) it dissapeared again:

It is not related to cookies, cache, local storage as issue doesn't reproduce in Incognito mode or any other browser. From what I can see server actually responds with HTML without this button:

It doesn't seem to be related to my IP as well, as I tried using different VPNs.

Hope that helps, tell me if you need any further details.

I don't know why I stopped drawing minor axis on the organic forms with curves, though I think it is indeed very important. Here is my second attempt:

Prior to these drawings I was holding pen at 45 degree to the paper, but as someone else pointed out in this subreddit I have started holding it at 90 degrees. Due to that a lot of my curves are overshooted\wobbly, as ending point is hidden behind my hand. I am not sure if this is the right approach, but it seems to be more reasonable. What do you think?

P.S. My bad, I completely forgot about the self-critique on lesson 2. Though link to selfcritique is absent from the webpage of the second lesson, whilst in the lesson 1 it is placed right above 'submit homework' link.

Greetings,

From what I can tell I have troubles with drawing cylinders and applying clean line weight (it looks like a mess to me) - would work more on those.

I gave a lot of hatching to some textures, though now it seems redundant to me and doesn't really help in showing the texture.

Also form intersections were a pain, I spent a lot of time picturing how object would intersect in my head.

Happy to hear other tips\critique!

Hi,

My submission: http://imgur.com/a/jQ6Ux

Finally managed to finish this challenge! I am currently drawing 1:00 - 1:30 hours every single day, so this challenge took me 13 days. Not sure if that's OK, but to me it felt like a long, tiresome journey.

I believe I have learned a lot from this challenge, though I still fail to draw cube without any mistakes straight away, but at least I know which lines are wrong.

Some times where I couldn't figure out how perspective works I would just load blender and rotate box in 3D space to better grasp the idea, hope that's OK and doesn't go against the idea behind this challenge. Looking forward to next tasks!

Hi,

My submission for lesson 1: http://imgur.com/a/cDC8B

Had fun doing it, though organic and rotated boxes were such a pain.

Thanks!
