    Hi these are my thoughts about your homework. I overall think you have done a very good work, although you still need to work in the flow and confidentness of your lines specially when they're long ones but it's a pretty solid body of work in general, you have practised a lot of different plants and I think that's really good, I also would recommend you pay a bit more attention to the texture in some drawings it's a bit weak

    But overall I think you can move to the next lesson. Keep going like this you are doing it well

    Next Steps:

    Keep going with the hard work and also try to focus a bit more on how the texture can describe form apart from construction lines.

    Hi, I've been seing your submission for the lesson 2 and this are my comments about it:

    The two pages on arrows I think are pretty well done, I've noticed some minor mistakes in the hatched but nothing too serious.

the exercieses about contour lines are good although some ellipses got out of the form, but the flow is good.

The firt exercise about texture is a bit weak but the next two exercises about dissections showed a great deal of work an the improvement is really noticeable.

Interseccion pages are good but the lines need to be a bit mor confident specially the spheres and cylinders.

The last exercise is good, the shadows are clear and help to understand the form underneath, the flow of the lines could be a bit better.

I hope this is helpful and I really think the concepts are clear and well applied so I think you can move to the next secction.

    Next Steps:

    Keep improving and working on the line flow, but you are ready to move to the next lesson

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
