First of all you arrows are good, you could have used more lineweight and hatching on the twisting parts, to try to convey more convincingly the sense of 3D.

On your textures I notice that your sausages have swellings on some ends, try to improve that the same goes for the sausages on the contour lines and contour curves exercises.

And now regarding the textures themselves, I can still see the black rectangle on the texture analysis exercises, don't be afraid to fill more space with black ink as it is really lacking.

Now on your dissections, keep foreshortening at a minimal, and bring your forms closer together, remember that the lines that represent where objects intersect run on the surfaces of both objects.

Next Steps:

I'm going to ask for certain revisions as I see some areas of improvement.

The contour lines and curves exercises, some of your sausages swell at the ends, and don't use more contour lines that you need to, a few well placed ones will do just as well.

And the organic forms, this has to do with the shading, it is just as important as the sausages and seems that you forgot it, you have to use it to really reinforce the sense of 3D, don't hesitate to make long shadows and fill places with more ink.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

By Revise you mean I have to do them all over again (the exercises mentioned)? or just continue from where I left off?

(Sorry but am just confused)

To do the mentioned exercises all over again, don't have to be perfect, but you can definitely improve

So edit them into the same Imgur page? or make a new submission?

You definitely improved your sausages, but I recommend you keep practicing them so that they can be better, but for the moment it is enough.

And the organic dissections are better too, feel more solid than the previous ones.

Next Steps:

You can move on to lesson 3, good job.

Thank you very much for the critique.

I appreciate it a

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.
