Congrats on completing lesson 2!

Arrows:

Most of the arrows are good, showing the idea of the arrow as a 3-d thing. Some arrows do not seem to change size as it moves through space, but since you have so many good ones I think you understood the idea well. Many lines are a but wobbly so make sure to take a secind before putting down line to make sure you have a confident line.

Organic Forms with Contours:

The shapes of the forms were good. The ellipses seemed like they were drawn through too many times so try to keep it to 2 or 3. If you ghost the ellipse for a long time you will have better results at grtting the one you thought you were going to pit down on the page. The semi contours were wobbly, so make sure you are drawijg with your shoulder and ghost your marks.

Texture Analysis:

The analysis was good, you used the notes you made and created a pretty smooth transition, except with the paper, which I think could have had more transition in the middle from the dark.

Dissections:

The dissection were done well. You broke the silhouette often which helps it feel more 3-d.

Intersections:

The reason why people find this difficult is because they use all the base forms to make the intersections. While what you did with the boxes is good, I think it will be very helpful to try one using the other forms.

Organic Intersections:

Looks good with smooth forms and accurate cast shadows.

Good luck and keep drawing!

Next Steps:

Try a page of intersections using the other forms.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hello! Thank you for the critique.

I ended up resubmitting this post for official review but I got a very similar response.

These are my revisions from that post.

Thank you!

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
