Unfortunately I don't really have a lot of negative stuff to point out. Your work here is fantastic, especially through the later sections of the lesson (texture, form intersections). I did however catch one issue in your organic forms with contour ellipses/curves. While you are shifting the degree/width of those ellipses/curves as you move along the organic form, you're doing it in the opposite direction. This diagram shows the correct direction.

Aside from that, just one more minor thing - for your dissections, in the future (if you ever do these again), try making the strip along the middle of the sausage form (where the surface is facing the viewer head-on) more sparse, and have it get denser as it moves out towards the sides. You did this with the corn quite nicely, but it'd have been good to see it with the others too.

Keep up the fantastic work.

Next Steps:

Move onto lesson 3.

First of all, thanks for your detailed critique.

The point about wrong direction of contour line is really valuable to me, since I might be never notice that if you don’t point out.

As for the transform from dense to sparse, indeed this is one of the point I need to work more hard on.

I know that I usually did too much and it was too late when I noticed.

This is definitely something I need to take care for later on works.

Can’t wait to move on lesson three.

And thanks again.

Sincerely.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

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.
