Hey there, here is my lesson 2 homework.

I had a little burnout during it so there is a gap of a couple months between the first two intersections exercises and de other two, it is probably a little noticeable, but well, better late then never I guess, I'm gonna try not to burn out again so I can finish this course.

for the 3D Arrows exercise, I would say you have a good understanding of 3D Arrows. But some of the lines appear to be repeated and some of them do not overlap, take as much time needed to plan and ghost the lines to keep confident, and overlapping

Some of the Contour lines in the Organic Forms exercise aren't drawn confidently, they have a bit of wobbliness towards them. Its recommended to take as much time as needed to execute the line confidently through the ghosting method (as mentioned above). Also some lines in the form intersections as well.

In the first page of Organic forms, two of the forms are a bit too complex, Try to imagine two identical sized balls on either end. (https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/4213ce18.jpg)

Everyone experiences a burnout, its good that you still managed to complete the lesson (Kudos to you)

Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
