Hello, here is my lesson 2 : https://imgur.com/a/tyCAiFW
I hope you dont mind a few questions. I would like to have your advice about something.
In the lesson, uncomfortable points out that drawing with ink on top of lets say pencil or lighter marks is a bad habit and that you have to think every single line youre putting on the paper. I can definitly understand why were doing that for the sake of learning, but im asking myself, is this how your draw day to day?
I mean, when im drawing for fun, especially from imagination, im not able to forsee what my future drawing will be. I have some clues and some ideas, but i have to put some marks on the paper to try things, put down my composition and stuff like that. Just drawing loose. And when i'm confident enough with my loose drawing, then i can trace over it with confident lines.
Do i have to think this approach again? Like, maybe i need to be confident even from start for personnal drawings. Or is this completely okay to draw loose when i'm drawing for fun ?
Anyway, let me know what you think of my submission :)
ps : ive split the form intersections exercice in two parts, one without the intersections and one with. Reason being i kinda messed up the intersections with not so clean hatching so yeah

hello
I ve done quite a long break between chapter 2 and 3. I don't really know why but i ve had kind of an art block. First, i found this chapter quite intimidating . And also, i guess it was because of me not drawing anymore for fun and focusing only on exercises, despite your warning in chapter 0. But i'm back and now i try to vary the exercises and above all, i draw for fun as well :p
Anyway, here is my submission for lesson 3 https://imgur.com/a/ZTDppYS
One thing i think i still have trouble with, is overlapping my lines to add some lineweight. I guess i have to be more confident and redo those exercices from chapter 1. And maybe im too shy with my texture work. But yeah let me know what you think, thx for your stuff
