Hi,

First of all I would like to thank you for your critique :D

For the arrows, I did some of hatching on non overlapping part because I thought I would convey the non overlapping part as some sort of cliff, where the side would be higher. Thanks for the feedback and I'll keep that in mind on Part 3.

Like you said, I think the one thing I really needs to practice is the cast shadow. I was surprised that you liked the texture analysis, even though I thought I'm gonna fail that one haha. I'm agree with your feedback regarding the fur texture. I'll try to practice about it in the future! Sometime your brain just overgeneralize the tuft and then I ended up following it.

I'll try to warm up by doing more shallow foreshortertning. I kept getting afraid that if I don't have an extreme angle, it might not be good enough or that I wouldn't learn that much. But now I understand :D

I took your advise on the organic intersection by doing the sausage first followed by the shadow. It helped me a lot and I believe reduced the amount of error I made on the revision. So thank you! Also I realised in some of the revision that some of my sausage wasn't that confident, sorry about that!

I have reduced the amount of contours for the organic form, though I made around 5 contours/ellipses per sausage. I thought the small sausage would be fine? But if you think I should do another revision for it, please just ask! It's partly because I thought the example had around the same contours and well, I accidently misread your feedback after I finished making the revision.

Most of the time, I am conflicted whether to add too much detail or too little. I think that's my problem in general, putting it too much detail because I'm afraid of well, blank detail that our brains can fill in.

Nicely done on all of these. I think you did fine on the number of contour lines and ellipses per sausage. Just keep in mind that as you continue to practice, you may find yourself using less contour lines or ellipses to enforce 3D forms.

As for the organic intersections, it looks very good. I can tell that you focused on how the shadows fall of each other. There are a few that still need a little work. The one on the bottom left has its shadow more attached to it when it should be more on the floor. And the middle one also could use a cast shadow on the floor.

All that being said, great improvement. I'm fine passing you for this lesson. Keep on practicing these in warm ups.

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
