In the form intersections I struggled with knowing how to make a realistic overlaping, I tried it anyways, but I'm not quite sure I understood it right... any advice there?

Also in the organic intersection I used a brush pen for the ground shadow and it was terrible :S

Hello,

Great submission overall I think you can move on to the next lesson,

here's some tips for the future:

  • In organic curves ellipses degree should vary like in organic ellipses (curve is just part of ellipse that we see)

  • For intersections the main goal for this lesson was to draw a bunch of 3d forms on a page so don't stress too much about realistic overlapping, you can refer here: https://imgur.com/a/6Inx5Bz for some nice intersections by a fellow drawaboxer so by studying them you should improve yours

  • in organic intersections some shadows do not follow the forms they fall onto

Good luck in your art jounrey!

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
