Nice work! This is much better!

Hi! I'm sorry to hear you had to retype everything.

Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate you taking the time and going into such detail.

Hello, congrats on completing Lesson 2! I'll be giving you feedback today.

Arrows

Great work on this exercise. The space between the ribbon compresses the further away it is from the viewer and the arrow head gets bigger.

Lines look confident and you have some variety and overlap.

Organic forms

The shape of the sausages is consistent, with no swelling and pinching, also the ellipses you've drawn shift in their degrees correctly making the sausage shape appear as if it's turning towards or away from the viewer.

The contour curves are aligned and are snugly drawn against the contour of the forms.

Well done!

Texture analysis

For this exercise shading should not be done with hatching. We have only two values to work with so when the reference has multiple values you need to pick an arbitrary threshold (anything darker will be drawn in black, with no shade variations; same thing for the white, 'lit up' part)

I suggest going through the part of the lesson that goes over texture and detail (esp. the one about shading)

Textural forms shouldn't be outlined, instead, focus on what the cast of the texture would look like and draw it.

The second texture analysis looks great and the gradation is well done too.

With the last texture, I noticed you chose to gradate by increasing the density of the shapes. While it works, in this exercise we're supposed to rely on shadows, deepening them gradually to achieve the gradation effect.

If the cast shadows are really thin try to draw them as shapes rather than lines. example

Dissections

Nice textures. I like how you wrapped the texture around the form and broke the silhouette.

Form intersections

The boxes on the first page look good to me. However, keep in mind that boxes should all have a shallow perspective and not stretch too much, this will make the forms look more consistent and make them feel like they belong in the same space. Other than that, nice work!

Organic intersections

Nice work here too, the forms look like they're laying on top of each other.

One thing to look out for when drawing cast shadows is to not have the shadow stick to the form that's casting it (1)

The cast shadow follows the shape of the form that it falls onto (I've drawn a bit over one of your pages to show you what I mean)

I understand. I'll refrain from doing this in the future.

Hello, I will drop an agree on this, but I must add some observations:

Lines

• Slight fraying and wobbling, but not a big issue. Make sure you execute your lines from the shoulder and don't try to steer your hand too much.

• your lines look fairly confident and straight, I'd say.

Ellipses

• Ellipses have a consistent shape, but please make sure to draw through them twice

• Great job getting your ellipses as snug as possible against the border. Those parts where you slightly undershoot/overshoot are not a big issue.

You understood the purpose of this exercise and that matters more.

Boxes

• Your plotted perspective looks great

• For the rough perspective, you applied line extensions correctly, the front and back faces of your boxes are rectangular, but your lines wobble slightly so make sure to employ the ghosting method.

Hi! I dropped and agree on this, but I must add some observations:

• in the superimposed lines exercise I see some fraying on both sides. I recommend taking your time and placing your pen in the correct spot before executing your lines.

• make sure you draw through your ellipses twice. I see some that were drawn through multiple times and some only once. Not a huge mistake, but something to keep in mind in the future.

Other than that, nice work!

Have fun with the 250 Box Challenge!

Nice work! I can see the improvement!

I'll mark this lesson as complete and you can move on to the 250 Box Challenge

Thank you!

I love the way you used color in the first painting! The glow makes me feel warm despite it being a winter piece.

Thank you!
