Thanks. I have trouble remembering instructions at times, even as I try to follow them. Will keep at it.

On I go.

Alright, I have gotten around to this again. Been busy for me.

Here's the latest. - I feel like these came out better and more '3D'. Still working on this 'lying to myself' thing.

The latest attempt.

Neglecting detail beyond construction makes this seem a bit odd to draw.

Some clarification, please.

For 'entirely on construction with no detail or texture whatsoever', would that be like step 1.2 with your mushroom example? Or more like 2? ("Start laying the groundwork")

Thanks for the feedback as always - you're picking out big problems I have, putting them in a way I had trouble do so previously.

I'll get to work on the pages. Good luck with the crunch time.

My lesson 3 submission. Challenging at times. Some plants are a heck of a lot more difficult than others, and I crumble-tossed some papers during this one. Actually a good amount. But these are my remaining attempts.

Got it, and thanks. I tried to follow the instructions - I thought the stretched forms had to do with far away perspective/narrowing towards the vanishing point specifically. I misunderstood.

On I go, and I'll keep practicing.

Latest attempt here

E: Maybe I should really pile on those creatures a lot more than I am now. They're currently kind of sparse, even though I consciously attempted to overlap some. I'll give that a swing after work.

You got it, will do. Thanks for the rapid reply, no problem with the incoming slowness.

Second attempt at same link. Form intersections and organic intersections done. No second pass on the first one - just ghosting and single lines, plus intersection notes in red.

Thank you for the great feedback as always. I'll get to work on the additional work.

Here is my lesson 2: http://imgur.com/a/BWNtc

A challenge, but a fun challenge. Learned a lot doing it, but man I have a lot more to learn. Mental 3D space is touchy.

Thank you. Yeah, I was originally going to do the last 10 with thickness, then quickly noticed 'Hey, something's wrong here' and forewent it. I'll work those tips into my warmups.

Here is my 250 box challenge. - Awaiting critique.

Challenging, but I tried my best. Also I am getting the impression that these challenges are paying off. I've got an understanding of perspective and some line control that I absolutely lacked previously.
