Hello there, congrats on finishing the lesson! I'll be looking over your submission.

Starting with your arrows, you did a pretty good job with making them flow through the scene pretty fluidly by compressing the further end of your arrows. However, it seems like you weren't paying much attention to the overall quality of your lines. It feels like you were pretty hesitant while putting down your marks and you probably drew them pretty slowly (and occasionally used chicken scratching), thus filling your page with pretty wobbly lines that show a lack of confidence. You also tried going over your lines to fix your mistakes. Always remember that trying to fix your mistakes with ink will only shift the viewer's attention to them.

I'm reading that you're having trouble with making your lines taper. Tapering your lines and being able to correctly apply line weight to them is only possible if you're drawing them confidently. Remember that confidence should always be your main priority during this course. Accuracy will come with time.

Seeing that it's been a while since you finished lesson one, I highly recommend going over all the material again, especially the markmaking section. Also make sure to check out this comment by Uncomfortable if you wish to read more about hesitation.

Moving onto the sausages, your lines look way better here. Even though your lines weren't always accurate, I can tell that you were doing your best to prioritize confidence. Although you did a pretty good job with shifting the degrees of your ellipses , you could've done the same with your contour lines to create a better illusion of depth.

In the texture analysis exercise, you were focusing mostly on drawing lines instead of shapes when drawing the shadows which breaks the illusion of 3D and makes it difficult to identify the forms that creates those shadows. Make sure to check out this guide to see how to get used to working with shapes rather than lines.

The dissections exercise looks better however. You did a pretty good job with breaking the silhouette and your textures wrap around the form nicely. However it seems like you weren't observing your references closely enough for a couple of textures and therefore you occasionally used random scribbles (the dog fur, for example).

Onto your form intersections, even though your lines were still slightly wobbly, your work here is still pretty well done. You managed to maintain the illusion of depth by keeping the foreshortening consistent between forms. You also did a good job with showing the actual intersections between the forms.

Again, apart from the line quality, your organic intersections exercise shows that you have a pretty solid understanding of 3D space. You managed to stack forms on top of each other in a believable way and you did a good job with your cast shadows as well. You forgot to draw through your ellipses here though, that's why some of them look slightly deformed.

Overall, you didn't do a bad job with this lesson. I would love to let you move on to lesson 3 right now but i believe that investing some time to improve your line quality before tackling the construction lessons would generally be in your favor. Also I'm going to be asking you to do one row of the texture analysis exercise. I'm mostly asking this because you skipped a row in your submission but also I feel like you can do a better job with this exercise if you fully put your mind to it. Make sure to check out the 25 textures challenge if you want to get more used to drawing cast shadows.

Good luck!

EDIT hey, I forgot that only a single page of the texture analysis exercise was supposed to be included and you did two extra rows instead of skipping a row. So therefore you don't need to do the texture exercise revision, sorry for that.
