Hello, this is my works for Lesson 2, this lesson is quite tough for me and I'm looking forward for feedbacks to improve my knowledge and understanding more about the topics presented in this lesson, thank you very much for those who will so!
Hi Sht,
I've checked your submission,
Starting out by your organic arrows, it seems like you are doing a great job moving them around in the 2d space of the page, however, they are lacking the 3d movement. This can be achieved by little tricks that you can apply to your organic arrows, first it's something that I see that you are doing, making the arrow bigger as it gets closer to the viewer. This is good, but you will need more to create the illusion of depth, another sing you can do is to make the spaces between curvatures of the arrow smaller as ther go back into the page (or the spaces bigger as it gets closer to the viewer).
Your organic forms exercise looks pretty good, though a quick recommendation for the forms theirselves would be to make them a little more thicker, right now they are looking to thin and long. Now on to the ellipses and contour curves theirselves, I think you did a good job, don't worry about accuracy yet, it will come with practice. Though, one thing about your ellipses and contour curves is that you are not really varying their angles, this is a key component in creating the illusion of depth, so take it into account.
I think you did a good job on the texture analysis exercise, the transition from dark to light looks like you are starting to understand how to show implicitly the textures. Though it looks a little sloppy some times, remember to take a step back when you don't really know what's the next step, every mark you put down should have an intention behind it.
Now, your dissections show that you have analyzed the textures and you were able to pass them into your page, though, I see that you are sometimes showing the textures in a explicit way. What I mean is that you are describing everything that you see in the texture, don't get me wrong, this is a good step, but you are putting to much information on some forms that you could just let out and let the viewer figure them out by themselves. Here is exactly what I mean, take a second look at it because Uncomfy really does a good job explaining this.
In your Form Intersections I see that you are using very little line weight, this is pretty important. Line wegiht it's not just an aesthetic choice from this course, is a tool that we use to communicate things to the viewer, in this case, what's on top of what. Another thing would be to take your time to make thos ellipses, remember to ghost them.
Organic Intersections overall are okay, it is a hard exercises, but a recommendation would be to start varying the angles of your ellipses.
I'm gonna mark this lesson as completed! Keep it up.

Sorry for the really late reply but thank you very very much!
I'm glad you found it useful!
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
