Lesson 2: Contour Lines, Texture and Construction
1:29 PM, Thursday August 19th 2021
Wasn't able to get any critiques the last time I submitted it so I thought I should submit it again :)
organic arrows:
yes, they look good and consistent according to the laws of perspective, the flow is just a little bit off (but that will come with practice). the shading in some places is inconsistent, you know the spaces between shading sticks are big and different.
organic forms (ellipses): to me they look nice, just there are too many ellipses, which i noticed is not good, 3-4 (sometimes 5 if the sausage is long) ellipses are enough. also, seems like you aren't drawing the ellipses from the arm judging that they look wobbly. i recommend making "tables of ellipses" exercise (lesson 1) as a warm up.
organic forms (lines): here the sausages look well, again i recommend sticking to few counter lines on the sausage/
texture (studies): here you did excellent. i can't say any critique tbh.
texture (organic forms): they also look very good. you sticked to the rule that on the outer spaces of sausage the texture should get smaller and smaller.
intersections: man, i suck at them, so i can't give proper critique, but the forms themsevles look solid.
organic intersections: look very nice to me, maybe try to add more casted shades.
Next Steps:
well, relax and go to the lesson 3!
Oh wow, thanks a lot!
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
