I finished Drawabox months ago, It's nice to re-visit this excercise and learn something that I could not get before, This is a bug constructions. Any feedback/critiques will be greatly appreciated.

Cool!
- Assuming that you were trying to copy the photo: In the first one, I might change the openness of the ellipses a bit (see paintover)
- When drawing the spider it might be useful to map out where the feet touch the ground. In the reference, it seems to stand of a flat plane. In the drawing it feels like the topography of the ground plane varies, as if it stood in nature.
I hope this helps :)

Like playing Legos, this is perhaps the most fruitful tutorial of them all :-)

I started Drawabox lessons a while ago and I never completed them, so I picked up where I left, and started lesson 4 on applying construction to insects and arachnids. Since Drawabox exercises require a lot of focus, and I've been very tired in the last week, I moved on to the next lessons, thinking I would go back to it when I would feel better. As always, I find it challenging to estimate proportions and draw beautiful flowing lines when erasing is not an option, but that is part of the game. Some of the lines on the wasp sketch seem lighter because I've added a bit of water to the ink. Oh, and part of the wing is cut out because I miscalculated and it didn't fit completely on the page...

I am familiar with Drawabox so I decided to try a HW Assignment I have struggled with in the past. Still hard for me but totally worth it.

I think I should start from scratch, I did lesson1. May be I should continue to improve my 3d awareness!
