I still feel a stagnation. Ghosting my lines, trying my best to pace myself and not rush, this being my fourth page after your response. Regardless of your response, I will keep drawing branches like a madman. My hand is wicked unsteady, this isn't really news as I spent half of my life in front of a computer at least 6 hours a day, therefore taking breaks and doing arm exercises and stretches is a must for me.

Lesson 2's organic forms with ellipses drawn inside took me maybe 50 30 pages (I shit you not, half a third of a sketchbook is JUST this exercise) to get correct, so this isn't really anything new.

I genuinely appreciate the fact that you're not letting me go that easy! I prefer professors and teachers that don't easily just let you pass and leave with half-assery :)

Thanks again.

I gotcha on the line weight and ensuring that forms should be closed. Due to the overboard line weight, I found myself going through a lot of ink! I just got a Rotring isograph pen a few days ago (which is an AMAZING pen, by the way,) because my microns kept dying, and I went through half the tank of ink in the pen. But, it's no big deal.

As for the ellipses, I'll keep working on them. I'm more used to larger ones, which is why my lesson 1 submission was full of confident, beautiful ellipses, it's the smaller ones that I totally stumble on doing.

Sadly I don't have my scanner handy at the moment: https://i.imgur.com/c2S0NeQ.jpg

While doing this exercise a few times, I became frustrated because I have been both restless the past few days [but you're not quite here for my own personal problems :)] and the result doesn't quite look "perfect", but then I realized that we're here not for perfection, but for the understanding of each exercise. I flipped back to the first page I went through the exercise again, and that's when it hit me.

Sure, the full page I'm now submitting looks like garbage, but I guess that's sort of the point of drawing over and over, until it looks like something satisfactory.

Thank you so much for your time and words.

I think I may have went a little overboard with line weight on the 2nd drawing, but it seriously helps out determining what lines are actually part of the plant.

Thanks again.

Hey Uncomfortable, I feel this sort of stagnation that I cannot seem to pinpoint, which is likely normal. I'm here for your wisdom, and here's my homework for lesson 3.

Thanks a lot.

I am still kicking! I know textures are my weakest point, it was very difficult to both find textures and to try applying them onto the paper.

I mustered the power to finish the challenge.

I have been fighting with my wrist as I powered the first lesson and wrist pain caught up to me. I have learned to take frequent and regular breaks as well as hand/arm stretches.

It was a bit of a challenge to keep myself motivated as well, but I managed.

Sweet. Thank you. I thought my work was a bit "not-there-yet," I struggle a little bit trying to have my boxes have edges that would converge very far off the page, while having the angles of these edges not being super dramatic, if that makes sense.

Thanks again. I will take on the 250 box challenge in the coming future.

I've been at it for roughly a week, and I am very anxious to have my work looked over. I appreciate you doing this. Regardless of the fact that I am only making lines and boxes, this newfound hobby has been making me feel a lot happier. I see a notable improvement on my sketchbook.
