I’d really appreciate your feedback! I struggled a bit with form intersections, especially with cylinders and spheres — they were tricky to get right. Let me know what you think and how I can improve!

hi lorem ipsum

Organic Arrows

  • this ones were great there you follow all the rules, (perspective and overlaping) so this one is great

Organic Forms

  • here the first one were ok, but theres one problem, you didnt draw trought elipses (https://drawabox.com/lesson/2/5/drawthroughellipses), and also you didnt vary the degrees maybe its my perspective, but i think mostly all of them have the same degree, but for the other page, you did everything great so that one is perfect

texture analysis

  • yeah, everything here is altright, just one thing, the black line at the left it should be camouflaged with the environment, but other than that this one is perfect, good job

dissections

  • here everything is alright, in fact, it was cool to watch it and also you followed the rules here

form intersections

  • here its also perfect everything, even the spheres, so great job

organic intersections

  • this one is also great, it really seems like a 3d space, so good job in this one too

hey, english is not my first lenguage if you dont understand something let me know, ill explain it differently, also ill appreciate a review of my work, try to do it honestly even if its rough

Next Steps:

just the first page of the organic forms, just do two or three forms to see if you comprenhend the material, also try to exaggerate the elipses, its more for you to know that theres a variation of degrees

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hi. Thanks so much for the review - it's really nice to hear good feedback on my organic arrows, shape intersections, organic intersections and dissections! Very glad you liked the 3D feel and the way I followed the rules. Kind words about my work made my day, and I appreciate you taking the time to review it.

I'll work on drawing ellipses and mixing up the degrees a bit - good idea, I'll revisit that. Don't worry about your English - it's clear and I understand everything! Thanks again!

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.

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.
