Hello, I’ll be doing your critique today!

Organic Arrows

Good sense of depth and variety of arrows. Nice and smooth lines, the hatching is done well too.

Organic forms with contour lines

The ellipses rotate very well and follow the motion of the sausage great work here!

The contours look a little flat, try to ghost them like you would an ellipse and then when you are ready, draw an overshooting curve.

Texture

These textures… wow

Perfect transition from dark to light, great use of shadows!

Dissections

More amazing textures! They wrap around the forms like they belong there!

Form Intersections

Excellent work! great hatching and intersections!

Organic Intersections

This too is great! You would do great in future lessons!

Next Steps:

Move on to Lesson 3 and keep it up!

Thank you so much for your critique!

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.
This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.

Orconomics by J. Zachary Pike

This is one of my favourite books. It's a fantasy-comedy romp, and the world that J. Zachary Pike has created honestly takes my breath away. There are laughs at every turn, but the story is not without its heart wrenching moments - some for which I have yet to fully forgive the author.

If you're at all curious about the kinds of nonsense I read, or just need something new to sink your teeth into, this is one I can highly recommend. On top of that, being self-published by an indie author, it's the kind of thing where your individual support can go a long way.

P.S: The audiobook, with narration from Doug Tisdale, is especially good, and elevates the story in ways I can't rightly describe.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
