That's an awesome demo :D Thanks again for the help

Thanks for the feedback - I went back and rewatched the lesson video, and decided to spend some more time on badgers/elephants since I'd had some particular trouble with those. Still not particularly happy with the results - it felt like there was a lot of fur on the badgers which made it hard to figure out where to put forms. With the elephants I felt like I was losing confidence in the lines, although I think I did a bit better with proportions this time. Anyway, here's some more pages: http://imgur.com/a/ueW8r and the photos I was trying to draw from for reference: http://imgur.com/a/nRrf6

Here's my lesson 5 submission: http://imgur.com/a/uFjtY I tried to avoid drawing over my construction lines so much like you suggested (although I did end up adding fur silhouettes to a lot of them). I also tried switching to sheets of A3 printer paper instead of my sketchbook - I think that helped with confidence a bit.

Bit of a mixed result in the end - for a lot of these I felt like I got a few proportions wrong or put a couple of lines in the wrong place which spoiled the whole thing. This might be one of the best things I've ever drawn, though :D

Thanks for the feedback - yeah, looks like I still need to work on those construction lines some more. To be honest, I'm not sure if I did better with the other pages or if I just did a better job of covering up my sins, but I'll try to be less faint with construction lines so I'm not forced to go back and add more line weight everywhere. (This is probably a bad habit I have since 90% of the art I've done before now has just been sketching random things with pencils).

I could probably do with getting better at drawing ellipses too, so that I don't end up with extra construction lines that look like they've been abandoned

Hi Uncomfortable! I'm sorry I drew a lot of insects and now you have to look at them ;_; http://imgur.com/a/2DXnc

I think I got a bit too distracted doing research for the homework (ended up focusing on flies and ants) but it was a fun exercise! I tried to spend more time planning out forms like you suggested last time.

Hi Uncomfortable - here's my lesson 3 submission: http://imgur.com/a/nIe2V . I tried to be a bit more faithful to the original lines I put down like you suggested, although I wasn't always spot-on. I had a bit of trouble drawing plant pots too - going to have to work on drawing those bigger ellipses more accurately. Thanks for all your help

Hi - here's my submission for Lesson 2 ( http://imgur.com/a/saUii ) and the texture images I used for reference ( http://imgur.com/a/cTaRv ). Thanks :)

Thanks - I just watched the videos on the 250box challenge, and realised that for a lot of my boxes I drew one of the planes first and then figured out the rest of the box, but starting with the Y shape should work a lot more consistently. I'll keep drawing through the forms in mind as well :)

Hi Uncomfortable! I've been meaning to work though these lessons properly for a while, but I finally have a bunch of free time :)

Anyway, here's my attempt at the exercises for lesson 1: http://imgur.com/a/2sagU . I feel like I did okay, but I had a lot of trouble being consistent sometimes. Thanks for all your hard work
