Hello Rensam, thank you for replying with your revisions.

These are much better, great work.

You're drawing complete forms for your head, thorax and abdomen, and you're usually drawing around your ellipses twice before lifting your pen.

You're keeping a more even line thickness through the various stages of your construction, instead of making the later steps much darker and tracing over the lines you want to keep visible.

You're mostly working in 3D by adding complete forms to your construction when you want to build or change something, and you're showing a good understanding of how the forms you draw exist in 3D space.

I can see you're working on using the sausage method to construct your legs. Something I noticed is that you seem to be missing the contour curves for the intersections where the sausage forms join together. I've marked them in red on the sausage method diagram and drawn some of them on one of your constructions here.

What we're doing by adding these contour curves is similar to the form intersections exercise from lesson 2. We're explaining how these forms connect together in 3D space. So, these little curves might seem insignificant at first, but they're an important step for these constructions so remember to include them in future.

I'll go ahead and mark this as complete.

Next Steps:

Lesson 5

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

Thank you for the critique, it has been a huge help. And thank you for the tip on leg constructions, I felt that something was off as I was drawing them.

No problem, keep up the good work and best of luck with lesson 5.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
