Hello there! Congrats on making it through Lesson 2!
I will be reviewing your homework today, so let's get started!
I think your arrows are looking good. You just sometimes seem to be unsure where the shadows are supposed to go. Usually we can say that they won't be on the same section. I tried showcasing this a bit here: https://imgur.com/a/wFc57cg
Aside from that you're good!
For the Organic Forms your lines are still looking good. I believe you're aware of your ellipses being wobbly and unsure yourself. If you have trouble with ellipses I recommend including the Table of Ellipses from Lesson 1 in your warm ups. They will be important in the future so I think it'd be a smart decision to polish them a bit more. For the shapes themselves your only mistake is that they tend to be elongated. Remember that we're aiming for a simple sausage form, a tube with a sphere on each end, see this: https://drawabox.com/lesson/2/5/simplesausage.
You mentioned it but I can also see you having fun with textures :D They're good! Your sticking to cast shadows and try to avoid simple lines. I know it gets hard, especially the more you go towards the right side. In this case you can try using this method: https://i.imgur.com/M9JJfr4.png For the next time you're doing this you can try and include more shadowy parts in your direct study (the first square). It might help you when you're going into the gradient study!
Dissections look good as well, I can see you put a lot of thought and time into them. Just the thing I mentioned earlier with the lines. Also no hatching! For the charcoal or muscle eg. Try to refrain from these kinds of lines as much as possible. The broccoli, ash and lava look amazing by the way.
Both Intersection Assignments look good. No complaints here!
You did well overall! There's a bit of revision I'd like to ask of you though: Please do two more pages of the Organic Forms with Contour Ellipses. In addition I think you will profit of another Table of Ellipses, but that's optional. As long as you include that one in your Warm Ups it should be fine eventually.
Okay, that's it! Looking forward to hearing from you :D

2 Pages of Organic Forms with Contour Ellipses
Thank you very much for the critique!
I will add ellipses to my warm ups. I notice that i get unsure when drawing ellipses which results in wobbly lines.
here are the revisions for the organic forms. (my ellipses felt much more confident this time) https://imgur.com/a/Eb9HRr5
Heyo!
Yeah I can definitely see you studied them in the meantime, definitely keep doing that! I think you're on a good way now :D The sausage shapes look better as well. I think you're ready for the next Lesson now ^^ If you have problems with the next Lesson you can check back here to remember what you did and how you improved on it.
Have fun in Lesson 3!

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.
