Wow. This was a tough one. Had some hard time especially with the cars. Thought I'll never finished hahhahaha. Anyway this is the link to my homework. Thanks!

Thanks Uncomfortable! You're way too nice hahaha, I would have never passed me to the next lesson, but then again you don't know the reference I based my drawings on... Anyway, I think you're right about the sketchy lines, I don't "think" before I draw them. I'll try my best on the next lesson and not rush in so much. Thanks again!

Yep, I have uploaded my homework for lesson 06. I do have the same problems, sketchy, bad proportions, but I think that the perspective is usually ok-ish :D except for some notable ones (like the first try at the speaker and the... the porcelan coffee cup, I just didn't center the first ellipse properly and didn't notice until later...). But I do think that proportions is the main no no... Anyway, I'll be doing a lot more of these, trying to get better at removing that sketchy look... Thanks! Definitely some of these things pose a challenge for me, like those damn headphones... can never get the right speaker location and proportion, will definitely do more of those! I already tried insisting on it but didn't quite improve that much :D

I see what you mean (thinking about the camel for example, where I didn't connect the lines going from the mouth, etc.). I'll keep that in mind. Thanks a lot!

I think these 4 pages are what you were asking for (I hope). Thanks!
edit: as you can see I tried (unsuccessfully) to plagiarize your ground / grass thing, hope you don't mind, anyway yours looks way better :)... that lack of confidence and determination (on my behalf)... :D

Thank very much for your critique! Time to draw then :).
edit: Actually it's not about the expression, it's more because I know I have problems with proportions, for example that specific picture of the horse, quite funny, I actually realized the proportions are bad on the back leg (joint), but didn't want to make a mess of the drawing. So that's why I'm so loose and sketchy cause I never managed to capture the correct form (even the lay-ins) from the start. This isn't to say that I'm trying to argue in favor of my style, I hate this sketchy stile :)), it's just to let you know it isn't about details :).

Actually the first hermit crab was done with a 0.1 mm marker cause I was unhappy with the 0.5 mm thickness (I'm having trouble with the thickness... or so I thought, so I cheated a little bit). But then I did the grasshopper which I'm particularly proud of :). And it's all thanks to your previous explanation with the corn thing. So thanks! Starting with the rhino I took into account your previous observation. The quality of the photo I took of the grasshopper is not so great, maybe that's why it looks... well, not so good, I just uploaded a better version, if it makes any difference... But anyway, thank you! I'll be sure to do a better job for lesson 05.

Really appreciate your time and dedication to us all! I understand what you're saying now and I see it, after another look at my corn thing it does look flat. Unfortunately didn't really understood what your were talking about when doing the homework for lesson 4. Just after p11 is done with this in mind although I don't think I made a good adjustment even now :-). Mor practice for me. Thanks!

Damn those crabs are super difficult to render and figure out. Here's my homework for lesson 4. Thanks!

You're right about the contour lines of course and I actually saw your comments to other people's work when doing the same thing (after I did the drawings) and It's a thing I'm going to focus on for the bugs. On the other hand, about the lighting, to be specific, I think that my best drawing of the bunch is that corn thing (top right) on p14. I just don't see how I would depict the shadows between the corn seeds without this much line and black-ing. This also goes for the sun flower (second, try, p13) I would be really grateful if you could show us how you'd go about depicting these details. Thanks so much for the critique! I know there's a lot of room for improvement. I'll try to focus on this texturing and less on lighting :).
edit: I think I know what you're saying though. My lines are sketchy and I'm aware of that cause I mess a lot with the proportions then I need to go back and draw over so the lines thicken quite some. So I guess I'm aware of what I need to improve, it's just a matter of practicing, don't think there are any tips out there that can help me on a theoretical level :).

Pfu... finally done :) the homework for lesson 03. I know I started a bit weak and had problems with the highlights and shadows. It took me a while to figure out better ways of doing it but I think towards the end I managed to pull it off moderately ok. Uncomfortable, thanks for your time and critique!

Thanks for the comment. Yes I agree that my wheels, cylinders are not so good, but I mostly think it's when they're related to some other objects in space. That is, not just random cylinders. It all goes back to my proportions issue, I just can't seem to get the right depth and well... yah, more ellipses and cylinder work won't kill anyone :). I'll probably end up doing the 250 cylinder challenge some time soon. And you're right about the boxes really, I would have never gotten the Porsche like that without them... I know, cause I have tried and failed miserably :)). That said, for the chopper bike for example, I don't think I'd be able to use boxes like that. It's too curved and rounded all around, but anyway thanks again.
PS that's actually my 7th hummer (the bad one I mean) :))
