I opted for a larger sketchbook, 9x12, actually, because I wanted more space but I can see how my sloppy and aggressive line-work and not actually filling the page made it seem like I was still using my 5 x 8.

I will begin warming up with the exercises from lessons 1 and 2.

Thank you so, so much - and please don't let me get past this lesson until you're fully satisfied. Glad to have you as an instructor!

Hey again, here's five more plants as requested with no texture - and I've included the reference images used.

Thank you for critiques! I'm having difficulty replicating your construction process from real-life images; could you point me to more in process material or exemplary homework examples for me to look at before digging back in?

Also, would you like me to draw new plants or try to improve my grasp of the one's I've already done?

Thanks again!

For your critiquing pleasure Uncomfortable, hope you're having a relaxed holidays so no rush.

Plants used:

Radish, Red Hot Poker, Adder's tongue fern, Redcap Mushrooms, strawberry, and the three demos.

What exercises would you suggest for improving the 'rendering' quality - I think would be the word - of both linework and texture?

Keeping the many forms of the red hot peppers cohesive was very difficult for me, what tips would you suggest for a re-approach?

Thanks! Have a good one.

Thank you so much. Yes, regimenting this has been difficult - discipline is key and I always tend to overextend. Course-correction is a consistent note of yours, and one I'll be focusing on more intently. Expect lessons in a more regular manner - and with a deeper level of focus behind them. Thank you again!

Hey there Uncomfortable! You asked me specifically to reattempt my form intersections and organic intersections, I've been struggling and would appreciate some input! Thanks!

Hello! Here's my submission for lesson 2.

I'm definitely going to redo and drill textures, form intersections, and organic intersections - but I wanted to know what tips and pointers you specifically had, and if it would be appropriate to move on to lesson 3. Thanks for all the effort and hard work you put into these lessons - they are greatly appreciated!

Hello Uncomfortable! Been away at college but picked up the stride, and a bit of passion for scenic design has got me itching for drawing. Here's my attempt at the exercise. Questions, comments, critiques, and concerns are most appreciated - and thanks for all that you do for everyone here!
