Hi SedroPantos,
Good job on completing lesson 2. I'll be reviewing your homework.
Organic Arrows
You have drawn smooth, confident lines and managed to make them overlap. One thing you could improve is applying perspective to your arrows. Try to push them more into perspective by applying more foreshortening (making the farther end smaller and the closer end larger). This will give your arrows more depth and give a better illusion of them flowing in 3D space.
Organic Forms with Contour Lines
You did great on drawing the ellipses and contour lines inside the organic forms. So good work on that. When drawing the ellipses inside the organic forms, make sure to change the degree to show how the form twists and turns. See this diagram for more info. Also when drawing organic forms, make sure they always look like two identical spheres connected by a tube of consistent width.
Texture Analysis
You've made a great attempt at creating a transition from dense to sparse. Be careful with drawing the contour lines of the texture instead of the casting shadows. Other than that, great work.
Dissections
You drew the textures nicely around the forms and managed to break the silhouette. Well done.
Form Intersections
You did well on filling up the whole page with forms of consistent size and defining the intersections. Try to avoid repeating lines. Keep striving to draw straight, confident lines and don't forget to use the ghosting method!
Organic Intersections
Your organic forms look great. They're are placed nicely in a 3D space, giving them different kinds of flexibility and mass.
Next Steps:
Well done. Continue with lesson 3.

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
