Heyo, I'll totally crit you dude.

Organic arrows: The arrows look pretty good, I do see that a few of them tend to wobble and there seems to be one arrow that has a confusing perspective as I don't see where the shadows are on either side, it does have one area that is shaded but it still is a bit hard to figure out which side is which.

Contour lines: They look great, the lines flow through neatly and evenly, some of the ellipsis are a bit outside of the sausages but the line does flow straight through the middle. But the ellipsis don't have as much variation, most do feel the same. There are a few sausages that have degree variation in the elipsis but the long one has a uniform of ellipsis. The sausages with the contours look good, the lines curve towards the end and they look alright, but they do tend to wobble a bit tho.

Texture Analysis: Looks fantastic!

Dissections: They look great too.

Form intersections: They look good, but it is hard to follow as the lines that are more predominant aren't darkened. I can see where the shapes intersect but I'm not too sure where exactly and which shape is front or behind which.

Organic Intersections: They look pretty good as well.

Next Steps:

I'd recomend redoing the organic forms with the ellipsis and the form intersections, as both seem to be a bit lacking. Try to give the ellipsis a variation in degrees and for the Form intersections try to give a thicker outline to the outter areas of the shapes in the areas that aren't intersecting.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Thanks for critting my submission! The revisions helped, so thank you for recommending them. I wasn't sure if you wanted about the amount of pages you wanted with each exercise so I just did two of each lmao.

No prob, they look good as well, I can see the improvement and your understanding of each exercise as well, nice. The ellipsis I see have a greater improvement because of the varying degrees. The intersections are easier to see as well because of the outlines, nice! Glad you found the crit helpful dude, and you can always ask how many pages you can do for each exercise lmao. Anyways hope you found this helpful and have fun with lesson 3 and stay safe!

Next Steps:

Totally tackle either lesson 3 or the 25 texture challenge

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
