Sorry for the wrong orientation - I have no idea why all my efforts to rotate the image were ignored when uploading but I got fed up after the 4th failed attempt..

This took a lot longer than I had expected! I have been drawing fairly frequently but I just seemed to produce work so slowly. I found the intersections so difficult! I am sure with more practice it will 'click' but I am so shocked at how hard it is for me to visualize the simplest of shapes intersecting. Also, initially (and still now) I found the jump to creating detailed textures to be quite intimidating - I spent a lot of time unsuccessfully attempting to simplify images into my drawings - choosing what detail is important and which lines to include was really hard.

Thanks again for the great quality of the lessons and Happy New Year

As others mentioned it took me a lot longer than expected. This turned into an exercise in mindfulness after a while! I think the box quality, line confidence and general proportions of the boxes were best if I had already drawn 15-20 boxes beforehand. Cheers
