For your organic forms with contour ellipses, make sure the width of the oval changes with the perspective of the form. For example, the second one down from the right appears to have ovals of all the same size, but based on how it's rotating the middle one should be the skinniest and the two to the sides should get slightly larger than the middle one, before reaching the ones are the ends, which will be the widest (does that make sense?)

Seems like you figured it out by the organic forms with contour lines exercise, so no need to do revisions.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

I made that mistake with the contour ellipses because I wasn't yet full aware of how the organic form sat in space; I started understanding during the contour curves and mostly during the dissections and the organic intersections.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
