Starting with your arrows, you've definitely got them flowing quite fluidly through space, though there are two things I want you to keep an eye on:

• First off, make sure you close off the ends of your arrow's ribbon. Leaving it open just reinforces the idea that we're looking at loose lines on a page, rather than a fully enclosed 3D form moving through space.

• Consider that foreshortening doesn't just make the ribbon get narrower as it moves away from the viewer - it also makes the gaps between the zigzagging sections compress as well. This is an important part of conveying a sense of depth in the scene.

Moving onto your organic forms with contour lines, you're moving in the right direction to be sure, although there are a few ways in which you're being a bit loose, which somewhat undermines the solidity of your results. To start, it does look like you're properly striving to stick to the characteristics of simple sausage forms as mentioned in the instructions, though there are still some places where you've got a bit of pinching through the midsection, or ends that aren't quite the same size, or where an end is more stretched out rather than remaining entirely circular/spherical.

Also, your ellipses are definitely drawn smoothly and confidently, so they're well shaped - but continuing to use the ghosting method will help you control where they fall. Keeping them snugly pinched between the edges of the sausage form will help you give the impression that they're wrapping around the form.

Moving onto your texture analyses, I think you're definitely moving in the right direction here, in terms of thinking about your textures as a series of shadow shapes, and using those intentionally designed shapes to control the density of your textures as you move from left to right in your gradient. With the tentacles, I think you still tended to outline your textural forms - in general, try and stay away from using any lines when drawing textures, and make every mark using the two step process described here.

I think throughout your dissections you continue to improve upon this. The only texture that raises slight concerns are the bricks, where it gets oversimplified and tends to fall into the issue explained in these notes. Basically you fell back into outlining your forms, so you need to focus primarily on those cast shadows as you've done with all the others.

Continuing onto the form intersections, your work here is largely quite well done. Your ellipses definitely do need more control (again, using the ghosting method here is key, as it is with all marks), but you're showing good use of it with all your straight lines and as a whole you're drawing the forms such that they feel cohesive and consistent within the same space. You've also got a good start on the intersections - to be clear I don't expect students to have any prior experience with this, so I'm not focused on whether or not the intersection lines themselves are correct. Instead, the purpose of this is to get students to think about how the forms might relate to one another within space, and how to define those relationships on the page. To that extent, you're doing an great job, and we will continue to work on this throughout the entirety of the course.

Lastly, your organic intersections are doing a good job of establishing how these forms interact with one another in 3D space, and you're also conveying a strong illusion of gravity in how they slump and sag over one another. That said, in the future try not to make the forms overly limp - treat them more like a series of filled waterballoons. They'll bend, but they won't outright deflate in order to fit into all the little cracks beneath them. Be sure to make them feel more solid by sticking to simple sausages.

All in all your work is coming along fairly well. As such, I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
