Quat

Well done, you can now move on to lesson 3

Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your exercises for lesson 2 today.

First of all The thinking in 3D part of lesson 2:

In the organic arrows exercise, in the first page, some of your lines looked wobbly and some arrows were either not changing in perspective or not overlapping. But your other page looks way better at following the instructions. I assume that the reason for that is either rushing or not drawing a warmup page before you started drawing.

As for the organic forms with counter lines exercis, I think that you did a good job on both the counter ellipses and counter curves. You also seem to change the degree of the Ellipses quite well for the most part which is going to be helpful in later lessons.

Next is the texture portion of lesson 2:

For the texture analysis, your crumbled paper texture is quite overwhelming and hard to understand, but the other textures seem less overwhelming so I don't think that redo this exercise.

As for the dissections exercise, you did a great job on most of your textures. Although there is a sousage that has texture that doesn't curve as much as it should I am referring to the brick texture. And there is also a sousage that doesn't have it's form broken and here I am talking about the the bee hive.

Lastly the construction section of lesson 2:

For the form intersection exercise you seem to have followed the instructions pretty well and clearly and I don't think that I can spot any problems with your exercise so good job.

Now the organic intersection exercise, right of the bat I want to point out that your drawing is very tiny. This isn't practically a mistake but it's generally better to make your drawing bigger if you are planning to ask for critique as it helps the critiquer point out mistakes better. I have some more critiques for this exercise here

Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your exercises for lesson 4.

First of all: organic forms with counter curves. You did a good job following the instructions and the sausages look well made so good job on that.

As for the Insects: Overall I can see that you didn't draw the intersection/joint for Most of the insects you drew .

The demos look well made for the most part but The Wasp is drawn in a way that makes the abdomen look Disconnected from the thorax.

I don't have much to say about the other demos other than that you did a great job.

For the stag beetle I noticed that you attached the left "arm" in a wrong place in the thorax. While In reality limbs are supposed to be parallel to each others, or at least start from places that are parallel to each others. This is not really important for draw a box, but I thought I should point it out.

as for the spider you did a good job with the construction, but you should have drawn the outline of the Shadow of the limbs that are touching the the wall Because them your spider looks stretched for no reason.

From what I can see, The rest of your insects looks pretty good and I think that you are ready for lesson 5

Thank you for the critique. I will write down some of the points you mentioned because I will probably forget otherwise.

Great job. I think that you are ready for lesson 4. I also just noticed that your Ellipses are not changing in degree, Don't worry I won't make you draw that exercise from lesson 2 (especially since lesson 4 got you covered), Good luck.

Hello again, If you really want to make more plants, it is better to do them for the 50:50 rule. Your exercises for draw a box are not meant to be pretty, even if you find it pretty it is more of a side effect rather than the main goal, your exercises a meant to show a good understanding of the lessons taught here and grinding will only get in the way of your learning.

Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your exercises for lesson 3 today

First of all for The organic arrows and the leaves exercises: your lines look pretty clean and they imply a good understanding of how these objects exist in 3d space so great job.

As for the branches exercise You tend to have Very Visible tails Which is expected from this exercise but you made it very noticeable , especially in your plant constructions, which is why I am going to ask you to draw another page of it.

now for the plant constructions: and before I start I have to point out that More than half of the plants you drew were Demo plants and it is stated Here That more than half your plants are supposed to be non demo plants, I am not going to make you redo it but keep that in mind for future lessons.

Also Please write the number of the pages in your future submissions, it is going to be a pain to specify some of the plants.

Now assuming that you used the refrance provided in the demos your King oyster's head is a bit too small and that may stem from you rushing the drawing. Other than that you did a good job with the drawing.

As for the Other textured mushroom I think that the construction is really good but the texturing on the holes of the mushroom looks flat. Since it isn't a major part of the lesson 3 I won't ask you to redo it, but I recommend trying the 25 texture challenge if you want to work on your texture skills.

The other untextured mushroom Looks flat in terms of the stem and I will make you redo it.

The fly trap plant looks squished to the left for some reason, but it is constructed really well for the most part so good job on that.

The rest of the plants look well done and the only mistakes that I can see are stuff from the branches exercise.

Don't mind this, I don't know why there is two of my reply

The organic perspective exercise looks crampt , In your case the drawings are Comprehensive but you should keep an open eye for it becomes incomprehensible.

But over all Your exercises look good enough for you to move on to the 250 boxes challenge

Well done your branches are well made.

as for the branches on the flower even though I would have preferred that you make them bigger but they are well done and you don't need anymore revision
