Hi Sylx! Im gonna go over your submission.

Starting out by your organic intersections, it looks like you are doing a good job on them, you are sticking to the characteristics of the simple sausage and making them warp around each other convincingly in 3d space, though your cast shadows look like they are still sticking a little to the forms that cast them.

Moving on to your cosntructions, it looks like you are doing a really good job on most of them. You are demonstrating a clear grasp on how your forms wrap in 3d space while also observing how those forms should be placed to represent the animal on the reference. However, there are still a couple of things I want to draw attention to so you can keep on the right track:

• First of all, regarding you leg constructions, you are not adhiring to the sausage method as close as you should be doing- While you are taking it into account, you are using sauasges with really specific shapes of each animal so you can match the reference and you are also not really applying contours where they meet. Now, the main thing here is that you stick to simple sausage forms and after that you build up more complexity on your legs using additional forms like you this on some of your constructions, though here is a good example of Uncomfy using it on this demo (just check out step 3, 4 and 11).

• Second, when constructing heads, it seems like you are trying out different methods and they end up giving you different results. [Here]https://imgur.com/a/c15xGdo) two heads from the same page that are really different on how they turn out, if you watch closely the right one, it looks pretty loose, with the eye socket floating freely on the skull while in the other, everything fits snuggly together. When constructing heads, try to stick to what is teached on this demo, always focus on fitting everything together like its a 3d puzzle.

• This part of your rat construction caught my attention, while it doesnt looks like you are doing it on other cosntructions I wanna still make a point here. Never go and try to alter the silhouette (cutting into or adding) since you will undermine the 3d solidity of your overall construction. The reason behind this is that the silhouete is just a 2d shape that represents the 3d forms, if you just change the 2d shape, you will not also change the forms, you will just break the connections between them! What you do instead is to add mass to change the silhouette.

• Lastly, about texture- The two mains things that we touch on this course are 3d and construction, and texture- The first one is about how an objects sits in 3d space and how it would feel to manipulate it with our hands, the second in pretty similar, its about conveying how does it feels to run your hand on that surface. This means that whenever you are applying texture, you should be doing it with the same principle as in lesson 2, by changing the silhouete (like youve been doing) and then implicitly making a dark to light transition with the use of cast shadows.

YOu did a very good job on this lesson, congratulations! Im gonna go ahead and mark it as completed! Keep up the good work.
