Okayyy, starting with the organic forms they are turning out much better than your previous attempt. While their sizes differ, they are more consistent than before, the main thing here is that you are still not ?ushing the cast shadows as far as you could, so try to push them further and give them a nice curve. Another thing to keep in mind in the future is that you should keep all the sausages in a single group rather than having multiple groups.

-Moving on to the arrows I have no complaints here, it seems that you have addressed all the issues I had raised previously and the only recommendation I have for you is that you can add lineweight and a subtle hatching where the arrow folds.

-The same can be said of the organic forms. The shape of your sausages is turning out much better and I think that you are being much more deliberate with the use of the contour lines.

So I am very pleased with the results of your revisions, I just will go ahead and mark this lesson as complete

Next Steps:

Lesson 5

This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete, and 2 others agree. The student has earned their completion badge for this lesson and should feel confident in moving onto the next lesson.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.

Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.
