Damnit, looks like because I was trying to be fancy with those symbols, it decided to drop the rest of the critique.

Long story short, your form intersections are looking solid where it counts most - you're constructing forms that feel cohesive and consistent within the same space. There were two issues you need to work on however:

• You're going back over your lines automatically, either reinforcing your lines by reflex or attempting to correct mistakes - probably both. It's important that you apply the ghosting method to every single mark you draw, which means going through the planning and preparation phases for each individual stroke. If you make a mistake, leave it alone.

• You seem to have missed the instruction about avoiding forms that are overly stretched in one dimension, and to stick to the forms that are roughly the same size in all three dimensions. This is to avoid unnecessary foreshortening complications, as this exercise is difficult enough already.

You've got a great start on intersections - this is meant to be an introduction to the idea of thinking about how forms relate to one another in 3D space, and how to define those relationships on the page. This is something we'll continue to explore throughout the course, but you're making good headway already.

Lastly, your organic intersections are looking good - you're establishing how they interact with one another as 3D forms, rather than as flat shapes stacked on a page, and you're conveying a sense of gravity in how they slump and sag over one another. Do however try to stick to simple sausages as discussed in regards to the contour lines section - avoid having them flatten out, instead try and treat them like a pile of filled waterballoons. Somewhat malleable, but still maintaining their volumes.

Overall your work is coming along well. I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
