Looking forward to your response.
Thank you and have a great day.

P.S. thank's for the tip on rotating the images on Imgur. I did not know you could do that:D
So for your arrows, only a few had foreshortening gaps between their edges. I noticed also that some of your arrows had decreasing gaps as they were coming towards you. Make sure that the gaps are getting smaller the further they are away from you. Try not to think of your paper you're drawing on as a flat 2D piece, but rather a "window" to a 3D world. Try to spend more time planning and ghosting.
For your organic forms, I see a little more variation with your ellipse degrees, although you could push them more if you wanted to. Imagine what would happen if you were to bend your organic forms a bit further. Try to keep your ellipses aligned to the minor axis also.
Your organic intersections seem like they have improved in terms of them not floating in space. Be mindful of your contour lines - they should reinforce the fact that these forms are rounded, not flat. You've made some of them look nearly straight. Also be mindful of the hook at the ends of the contour lines. You should include them always. Additionally, add line weight only to the parts where the forms overlap one another.
Next Steps:
Please complete half a page of arrows.

It looks better. Just a note that it would probably look better if you were to apply a gradient to your hatching from dense to sparse. Also, add some line weight to the overlapping edges so that you can better clarify what's in front of what.
Other than that, good job for completing lesson 2.
Next Steps:
Move on to Lesson 3.
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
