Hello I’ll be handling the critique for your lesson 2 homework.

Organic Arrows :

Starting by the organic arrows they are drawn with a good deal of confidence, which helps to capture the fluidity with which they move through space ,

The main issue here though is that you are not aware that the negative space between the zigzagging sections of the ribbon should decrease as it moves further away, as shown here ( https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/011d064f.jpg ), this is the only thing missing for your arrows to look tridimensional.

Organic Forms with contours

The shape of your sausages needs some work, there are a few that pinch or swell where they should not, try to stick to the recipe of two balls connected by a tube of consistent width. When it comes to the ellipses it seems that you are aware of how they change degree as they move through space, and the contour curves are moving in the right direction in many ways, although they seem to be barely changing degrees compared to the contour ellipses. Contour curves are a useful tool to describe how a form sits in 3D space but they can easily work against us by flattening our drawing, the best approach is to use the ghosting method to think about each mark’s purpose and how you are going to achieve it best, once that is done you can focus on executing that mark with confidence. This way you will avoid drawing contours that do not really add any useful information to the drawing. And also keep in mind that you don’t need to draw too many to convey the tri dimensionality of a form.

Texture

On the texture analysis you are doing a good job however try to merge the initial rectangle filled with ink more seamlessly with the other shadows so that it becomes less noticeable. push more shadwos to transition its like 2 tones

but i still dont like the drawing tell about that u dont make resilient observing and put marks with intent try to think of each mark u put and construct not copy and build shadows and have overall see that this is 3d texture not just like marks on paper this is what crumbled paper tell about see this how he solve spatial reasoning problems https://drawabox.com/community/submission/2KVCI7HC the second one looks messy and with white and black scratch lines

third need more transition

On the dissections exercise

i see u did great job really i would love to see more transition but there is outline and u dont need to choose hard stuff like hair and grass I notice that you are making use of a lot of simple lines and scratchy marks, when it comes to the texture exercises it is alway better to be purposeful and draw marks with intent and forethought. That'll why it is better to first outline the shadow shape and then fill it with ink rather than simply relying on lines as shown in this diagram ( https://imgur.com/oAx2pRD ), try to think about how the shadow shape wraps around the surface it is falling on and don't forget to use every opportunity to break the silhouette as those tiny details have a huge impact

-Moving on to the form intersections

you are doing great, you have kept the foreshortening shallow and your forms are not too different when it comes to size, which makes it look like they're actually sharing the same 3D space. If you feel like you don’t fully grasp them yet don't worry as we will be revisiting this exercise in future lessons but see pinned post in discord and ask what u didnt understand and compare your work some are dont feel well intersected

organic intersection

bro dont copy observe and copy with intent how he solve spatial reasoning 3d proplems in drawing the second one glad u stick to one form but dont go to complex long one see this dude https://drawabox.com/community/submission/MG2HIMYO
