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

You get the concepts of this lesson. Move on to Lesson 3.
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.
