Hello, Thank you for your critique.

As such, I've redid the Organic Intersections exercise after watching the videos and observing the sausages. My revision homework is given in the link

Hey Vega, I'm happy to see that your cast shadows look much better here, wrapping around the contour of the form below. It's clear you're thinking about the placement of each sausage with the concept of gravity in mind. One last tip: keep that sag consistent on both ends of the sausage. Hugging the mass contours as much as possible will help support the illusion of mass.

Line confidence still presents as an obstacle to overcome. From your arrows, it's evident you are capable of achieving smooth lines. It might be beneficial to adjust some techniques, like the speed of your arm motion, but I'm sure you'll improve as the exercise gets more comfortable to complete during warm-ups.

All in all, I think you understand the Lesson 2 concepts well, so I’ll go ahead and send you off to Lesson 3. Keep up the good work.

Next Steps:

Remember to take these exercises into your warm-ups (10–15 minutes), and you can move on towards Lesson 3. Good Luck!

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.

Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.
