Done! http://imgur.com/a/6zE9d . I want to learn more on how I should apply line weight and how to texture (or spot blacks) in a way it enhances shapes. I watched Scott Robertsons video on atmospheric line weight and applied it rather rushed on a few insects. Later I thought that you and some of the more advanced students apply it in a way that enhances shapes. So I tried that in my last two insects. However, I found both really hard and would love to hear some advice on both the subjects, if your willing.
Another note I wanted to give you is that I have done some observationalist drawing before this course, and I still got some of those quirks, sometimes relaying more on my skills to observe relative line angles when thinks get complicated. It comes in handy when I want to draw something of a picture, but it isn't why I am following this course at all. I want to be able to create instead of copy.
Many thanks again. Fantastic to see all the demoes and feedbackpiles you gave to students.

Teaach me master!
Thank you so much. Hope you get some vacation days soon. Going in for another round of plain stems, while I wait for the feedback. Connecting those curving ellipses is absolutely horribly hard

Woooooop. Finished lesson 2. I would really like to hear what you've to say about the results. Not all the results are organised chronologicall. Sometimes I couldn't remember which page marked the beginning and which page the end of an exercise.
Anyway! thank you so much for the feedback so far! Here is my lesson 2.

Did the 250 Cylinder challenge, because I felt while doing the form intersection exercise I felt I wanted to be draw ellipses more confidently.
Thanks you in advance for the feedback!

Hi Uncomfortable,
Finished the challenge!
http://imgur.com/a/OZ1tH. I'm very sorry for not ordering the images correctly. Imgur doesn't sort by name or date anymore, so ordering is being made a drag. I ordered the pictures to some degree. All the boxes are made on A4 paper.
Had a blast when I noticed that I had gotten so familiarized with one 0.5 Steadler pen that I felt a noticable difference when I switched to a fresh 0.5 Steadler.
Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

Wow. That is more, and more usefull, feedback then my average college teacher gives me on my homework. Absolutely amazing. Thanks.
As for atmospheric line weight. It's explained in this video, : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0zl5NnEAyU . Scott says it's indeed usefull for smaller scale objects (although it gives them a certain stylistic look). He also uses his line weight for a sense of velocity or direction. But for this course I will be using it for overlap and enhancing construction as that is more appropriate here.
As for the ellipses. If i forget it one more time, lets say I will personally make you another cyllinder challenge. Embarrasing. Thanks for pointing out why its that important. That motivates.
