Hello, I’m Qrious K and I’ll be reviewing your work. Let’s get started:
Organic Arrows
You have a good variety of arrows all with different three-dimensional folds and usage of perspective.
Contour Lines
A majority of the ellipses on the first page rotate as they should, following the axis. The curves on the second page overshoot well. One issue on both pages is that the forms are a bit uneven on either end; some ends taper, while others do not. Try to keep these 3D forms smooth and even all the way around.
Texture Analysis
The shadows of your textures are somewhat heavy-handed. Yes, you want to focus on shadows, but you want to create a delicate transition from light to dark as well.
Dissections
These are well-drafted. However, it seems like some of the texture is missing. Don't be afraid to incorporate detail as you transition from light to dark.
Form Intersections
Most of the intersections look good, but others are confusing; it’s as if the right areas are not highlighted (see the cylinder and pyramid on the left of page 2). Think of the space where the forms intersect as the area that should be emphasized.
Organic Intersections
These organic forms are solid. Make sure to incorporate these into your warm-up and overlap the forms in the middle. It’s okay to take more risks in your overlapping
Next Steps:
You get the concepts of this lesson. Move on to Lesson 3.
A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.
Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
