HI Kapowh! I'm going to go over your submission.

Starting out by your organic arrows, you are doing a good job at making them flow on the page, though there are couple things you can try to make them sell a better illusion of depth; Try making the space between turns exponentially smaller as they get away from the viewer, also I'm seeing that you are making the arrows bigger as they get closer, though not always, try to do it since it's very important to create that effect of the arrow going off the distance! also, Here is all explained on the lesson. Another thing that calls my attention is the way you are adding line weight. While it looks you are doing it on the right places, it seems like you are going over them really slow and with your wrist- Aside the fact that you should be doing it with a confident, ghosted line, the issue here is that because you are doing it with your wrist and you don't want it to look wobbly, you are giving it a lot of thickness, and that makes so it's really visible. Remember that line weight is something that should be subtle, just one super imposed line to clarify things for the viewe, withour them knowing it is being clarify. Here is a demo on the topic.

Moving on to your sausages with contour curves, I think you are doing a good job on making them look solid and 3d, though there are mainly to things I want to point out:

• First, if you look closely to your ellipses and contour curves, you will see that they are falling too flat. While you are doing a decent job at sticking to the characteristics of a simple sausage(though remember to keep both ends of the sausage more rounded), you need to push those contours to be more rounded- The issue here that remember that contour curves represent the surface of our forms, if the contours fall flat, the form is flat, and here we are working with rounded sausages.

• And second, looking at your contours, it looks like you are not changing the degrees of either your curves nor your ellipses as they move through the sausage. Now, a contour represents how a cross section of the sausage faces the viewer, if it's wider, it means it's facing the viewer, and if it's narrower, it means that it's facing away from the viewer. Here is a diagram explaining what I mean- Try to apply this on your future sausages since it will sell a better illusion of depth.

Also, remember to ghost every line you put down, a lot of those contours and ellipses are a little wobbly, confidence>accuracy.

On to your textures, for starters, you are doing pretty solid on observing and putting those textures down to paper. However, in most of this examples you are still using lines to explicitly describe those textures. Now, what I mean by explicitly, is something that you might have learned about in this video which I recommend you go back and see it- By drawing your textures line by line and as you see it on the reference, you are putting down a lot of information, which makes the viewer eye get a little overwhelmed (your scales for example). That's why we draw our textures implicitly with the use of cast shadows, gradients and changing the silhouette, by doing this we are hinting those little forms that create the textures and letting the viewer imagine the rest, we are never directly drawing them on to the paper. This not only makes it easier for us since we draw less, but as I've already said, it makes it easier for the viewers eye to not get tired and overwhelmed. I thing that your avocado texture is almost there, but you are still using some lines here and there, instead of just shadows.

One last thing, some of this textures look pretty simplified, this might be because you realize that it would took you too long to draw them, so now that you know how to approach them and you don't need to draw them all, try giving yourself more time to observe closely how this textures are.

Your form intersections are definitely getting there, while there some places where you are making mistakes, at the end of the day it is a pretty tough exercise. One thing that you might not know is that you can use paint 3d (which is pretty easy to use) to put down the forms and see how they really intersect. Another thing, while I think your line quality got better, remember to still prioritize confidence over accuracy, just take your time ghosting them and don't worry if they don't turn out accurate, that will get better with time.

Also, always try to draw your forms as big as possible (specially on the next lesson and up) since, it's not only easier for you to use your whole shoulder to ghost the lines, but it's will also be easier for your brain to engage on spatial reasotining.

Lastly, your organic intersections are also getting there, a few things:

• First, remember to fully wrap your forms on top of each other. RIght now a lot of them look like they are sitting on top of the other without really being affected by each other- For this, you need to make them go over the base sausages silhouette so they can fall over to the other side. Here is diagram on the different views of how sausages should be falling on top of each other.

• Also, remember that cast shadows follow the surface of the forms they are being cast on, whenever you are drawing some cast shadows, look at the contours of the forms bellow and follow them, right now yours are sticking too much with the sausage that casts them.

I think that you are overall doing a pretty solid job on the lesson, though I'm gonna ask for one more page of organic intersections taking into account this things I've just listed. Good luck!
