Thanks for the feedback!

I've had some troubles with the shoulders, thats true. Somehow the hips were easier to understand for me.

Will keep your remarks in mind next time.

Here's second attempt at lesson 5. (First one seems to have been lost in the comments)

It's been a long time since previous attempt. Hope there's some improvement.

Hello.

It's been a really long lesson for me. As it was a hard one.

Part of homework with hybrids is very interesting and fun.

Hope there is some improvement in these drawings.

At least I've learned a LOT about the animals I thought I knew.

Here's lesson 4.

Waiting for your critique.

Thanks for the explanation.

As if the original lessons were not enough, you're rewriting the lessons now. Just wanted to say that you're doing really interesting and great job.

You're right about stiffness. Your exercise with arrows turned up to be very interesting and fun. After several pages of drawing arrows my perception of 3d objects on 2d plane of sheet changed somehow.

Now, here're some more attempts. Hope something changed. Looking forward to your critique.

That would be really great!

Actually, I've drawn some plants from real life (tagged as RL) and some from photo references (PR) : PR1, PR2, PR3, PR4, PR5.

Well, here's my attempt at lesson 3.

After several pages of plants I've taken a step back and now try to draw basic forms and form intersect.

Great! Thank you!

Thanks for the reply and detailed feedback.

I've got some questions however:

1. How does one controls the lineweight? Is it okay to go through one line several times? Or ideally I've to make different lineweights in one fluent movement?

2. Do I qualify to move to the next lesson?

Greetings!

Here's my attempt at lesson 2.

I don't know if it's a right way to do it, but I've made the lines solid (heavy) by going several times with a pen over one line.

Used 0.1 and 0.5 pens.

I've got some contradictory thoughts about these drawings, so I'm really looking forward to your feedback.

That's true. I get carried away sometimes and start to draw far plane of box larger than front plane. I'll pay more attention to this from now on.

Thank you for the reply.

Greetings!

After lesson 1 I've decided to complete the box challenge.

The challenge was hard for me and it took a couple of days to complete.

It's really hard to tell if I've improved.

But the fun part was trying to find mistakes (I don't know if I've succeeded at it).

So, please take a look at my boxes and say what you think of them.

Thanks for reply.

I decided to try and do some error corrections before moving to the next lesson.

Please, take a look at some more organic perspective boxes.

Also, I tried to experiment with composition in these pages.

Here're my pages for lesson 1. Lesson 1

Ellipses are really hard for me (as everything else).

Actually I did 8 pages of everything instead of 2, and it seems i've gained some confidence with a pen.

Thanks for great lessons.
