Thanks for getting back to me!

Yeah, I definitely do have a tendency to go over lines a bit too much when I am drawing. Anyway, note taken! I will work on it going forward. :)

And thanks for the extra notes on the orthographics - makes more sense to me now what you were getting at - I definitely could have been more precise. Must subdivide more!

Thankyou again & all the best

Hey - thanks for your feedback!

I just wanted to clarify a few things, to make sure I can get the most out of your feedback, if that's okay? I did only use a biro for all the drawings submitted here (plus brush pen for cast shadows) as per instructions. I did add much more weight when drawing 'final' (or 'visible') lines whilst trying to be as light as possible with the biro for subdividing and construction lines early on - so that the constructions didn't become too visually cluttered/difficult to understand. I thought that was why we were told to use ballpoint pens, to take advantage of the range of value you can get from them, but apologies if I was mistaken.

For example: here where a line runs from the front corner of the vehicle to the back of the cab, through the wheel, to lay down the general length - I added line weight to the line either side of the wheel with biro, thinking of this as adding line weight in order to clarify the position of the line.

I remembered the feedback from lesson 6, after I tried using different coloured fine liners for different 'phases' of the drawing, so I did think I was trying to approach this lesson more in the right direction. I wanted to make this clear as it seemed like an important point in your critique, and I can understand why it would be if it looked like I had ignored specific instructions or previous feedback. Anyway, I just want to be able to properly take your feedback on board and make sure I am addressing the right thing, so that I can work on improving.

With the orthographic plans, it would be really helpful for me if you could be more specific in terms of which landmarks I am missing during this phase. With the 8 orthographic plans (not including the ones I made following the demos), I can't see much of a change in my approach between my first and my last so it would be good for me to know exactly what I should be focusing on here more to improve.

Sorry! If any of this is nitpicky or anything, I apologise. I just wanted to make sure I can get the most out of the last feedback! :sweat:

Thanks again for your time, I appreciate it!

Hey!

Thanks for the feedback! The drawovers for the form intersections are really helpful. And I will definitely pay more attention to curves going forward - I struggled a lot with that cursed guitar but probably needn't have if I'd been more methodical in my approach. I'll keep this in mind going forward.

Also yeah, I will go forward with biros for the rest of the lessons.

Thanks again!

Hey!

Thanks so much for the feedback. I admit, I was a little nervous when I saw the first line preview in the notification .. ! Haha.

But yeah - I will definitely be doing more boxes in my warmups as it is something I know could really use some work. It has been a long time since I completed he 250 box challenge so my rustiness is showing. Anyway, after dreading the approach of lesson 6 and 7 through the rest of the course, I am now kinda looking forward to them! Hopegully I won't regret saying that. :')

Anyway - hope you are well & thanks again!

Hey!

Happy new year! Thanks so much for the in depth feedback, and sharing some demos that I had missed - that camel head demo will be helpful, I think. There's plenty here to work with & think about, so I look forward to practising more animals. And lots of cylinders, of course.. !

Thanks again!

Thanks so much for the feedback! I'll admit the leaf-footed bug was a bit rushed. I think on the whole I did try and consciously stick to the method but probably need to spend more time overall and slow down on the drawing studies. This will probably help with some proportion errors too.

Anyway, thanks again! Looking forward to lesson 5. :)

Many thanks for your time & feedback! What you're saying makes sense and I will try and carry it with me into the next lesson, especially the advice about lineweight. I am mindful that I have a habit for going over and over lines (and this also applies to the point about decoration and the impulse for adding more ink), but anyway -

Thanks again! I'm sure you get this a lot, but nevertheless - really appreciate the work that goes into providing this resource.

Til next time!

Thanks for your feedback, Tofu!

I look forward to getting started with lesson 3!

Thankyou!

Hey Tofu -

Thanks for your crit! Yeah, the parallel convergances were the thing I was finding the most difficult throughout the challenge.

I've completed the extra 25 boxes (with all line extentions..!) here: https://imgur.com/a/9wSO1c3

Thanks
