added comment inForm Design - Vases
And with this, I am considering myself done with the course! (Though certainly not done with the exercises themselves!) This was the first course I've taken in the Proko ecosystem. Thank you, @Steven Zapata, for sharing your wisdom as an art professional. Thank you also for the interesting assignment prompts; I had a lot of fun with each of them.

Nice job Isaiah, I think these came out great. Love the top middle one! I like the extra step you took to design the graphic break ups as well. Keep up the good work.

Hey, Steven!
What is that pen-like eraser called? It's hard for me to find out in the online store where I am from: Singapore.
The brand you're using is Mono Zero, but what is it technically called?
Thanks, Boss!

I suppose the general term for them would be an eraser with a pen-style body, and then just look for the finest tip you can. Pentel sells many similar ones and calls them "high polymer" erasers but I don't see many other companies using that term.

Love that you got creative with the second one- adding the geometric shapes to it is a great idea! I think with how nice and dark you have the shadows you can afford a little bit more rendering in the light. Yes, we must compress it, but having nothing there often gives a "bleached out" look that hurts the form.

I had an attempt at the tentacle and then drawing my own. I got carried away and went way too big for my first go. I made a lot of mistakes along the way but it was fun to see it come together.

My attempt after watching part 5 & part 6 and I'm not sure how I feel about it but I could a lot better with adding the finer details but considering I'm working on a small drawing (half a page on A4) I pretty much found it difficult to do the small renders of the drawing. I don't really do imaginative drawings as I mostly draw from reference so this was a new horizon for me.
Off topic but whenever I take a picture of my drawings they seem to make it worse then they are or that might be a reflection of my drawing isn't rendered enough.

I think it's a great start! Good job. It is true that photos tend to make pencil drawings look bad, but you're right that if you push it all the way to the other side nothing will stop it from looking good. I always prefer scanning my pencil drawings, but using a diffuse window light tends to work best for me when I can't do that- it does create a gradient across the photo however and usually requires a temperature adjustment. Your phone's editing tools usually have some options to address those, though.
