Do you know of anything similar for iPad?

Thank you for your input!
The texture study on the tree was done after i completed the sketch of the tree itself. I found it hard to make it resemble the kinda flaky texture there. It's a recurring problem for me, to be able to convey a sense of great detail using as few lines as possible. I'll give it another go sometime. If you have the time, I would be happy if you would give me an example. I used this as reference.
My favourites are the foxglove and potato sketches. The cauliflower... not so much. I rushed it to much and tried to cut corners regarding shape and detail. I think it looks kinda flat and boring. Any specific tips there?
I spent the most time on the potato sketch and I think it shows. Fortunately, I've got a girlfriend with art experience who gives me a lot of input, but she is generally less forgiving than you are... :)
I did the different sketches over a period of two months with long breaks in between. I notice that it shows on my linework, I tend to revert to the ol' sketchy behaviour instead of making distinct lines. I will spend some time doing warmup lines in each session and see if it helps.

I like the blue shadings. Is it watercolour?

It's the least I can do. Struggling along with lesson 3 at the moment, hoping to get some more drawing time in the upcoming summer vacation.

I agree with /u/nightningflash and /u/cartoonishguy. Foundation Group may be best for someone who wants/needs to learn drawing for professional purposes but for someone like me who just wants to get a little better at drawing I think your program is perfect. I wouldn't stop my Patreon donation to you even if I would try the Foundation Group in the future, because I really like your program and your personal and honest feedback. Keep it up!

Hi!
I started your lessons about a year ago but I kinda lost speed around lesson 4. I've decided to give it another go so this is my new take on lesson 1.

I actually skipped the plotted perspective exercise this time, I hope that's ok. If not, just tell me and I'll do that exercise as well.
The rotating boxes was REALLY hard!
Old lesson for comparison: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bjhug7lhvmjydo6/AAAX2R7XlbtAEjTGUGIY3AAJa?dl=0
Thanks again for your excellent work!
