Hi Aki, I'm ageth and I'll try give you some feedback today. I hope it helps :D .
Arrows
-
Line: Your arrows have a nice flow but there are some lines that doesn't follow the rhythm as they should, remenber ghosting using all your arm practicing the duplicate line before executing it, bucause these are big and complex lines.
-
Foreshortening: Your foreshortening is correctly more dramatic than shallow, but I suggest you to experiment more with transitions exagerating; making the arrow head enormous with a really tiny tail or reverse so you can relate more with the espace.
-
Line Weight: Your arrows are lack of line weight, Line weight is not just a detail, but a tool that can contribute making some of our 3D forms look closer and others look farther in contrast. so I really suggest you to start using it and since it's a useful tool that we'll be employing frequently in the course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=treOc3Pp-aE
Organic Forms
-
Form: Some of your sausages aren't following the correct form of 2 identical balls connected by a tube of consistent width:so you can try plot with a few dots the general sausage shape, so when you ghost you'll have a few guidelines that can help you not to lose track of the ghosting.
-
Ellipses: Your ellipses are nicely done, you drawn through 2-3 times and you're making good attempts for them to fit correctly. Now you could try vary the degrees more as the angle of the sausage faces the viewer. https://drawabox.com/lesson/2/5/degree
-
Contours: Your contour lines are not accelerating as they aproach the edge, executing it this way is important so we can define the surface correctly. When you're drawing contuor lines try ghosting an ellipse and just executing it where the visible part is. https://drawabox.com/lesson/2/5/shallow
Texture Analysis
-
Paper: Well executed with the sahdows and the trnasition keeps gradual.
-
Wood: This one looks a little like hatching due to the amount of lines instead of just cast shadows and the transition happens too quick. Remenber we have just two colours black and white which we'll be employing to make a transition with cast shadows.
-
Fish Scales: This texture is well executed too especially the black part, but the transition to white is also to quick. Remember you're getting pure white just when you are almost finishing the panel and in the middle part you are gradually losing the gradient.
Dissections
-
Terture: Your texture is wrapping correctly around the form but again the transition happens too quick. So keep in mind that you need to reduce the gradient gradually as you get closer to the middle of the form.
-
Silhouette: There are some cases when you correctly break the silhouette but most of the it keeos flat or it shows up too shy. You can try exagerate the ellements of the texture so it can be more visible and manifest its particular appearance. https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/4dd5336a.jpg
Form intersections
-
Forms: Your forms are great as they keep shallow and equilateral but I insist with the lack of line weight.
-
instersections: This is a secondary issue so it's not a big deal, Most of your intersections are well done, but just for some boxes i suggest you to consider the space that is ocupied by the form when you're intersecting.
Organic intersections
-
Forms: I like how you execute the contour lines here overshooing the curves, well done. As for the forms, most of them are decent sausages but others have weird forms. So maybe this is something we need to reinforce.
-
Shadows: Your shadows should follow the contour on the form they are being reflected you can use the contuar lines you drew previously as a guide to draw you cast shadows, and always draw a clean space for the shadow so it doesn't look scribbled.
-
Stability: Stability is important bucause it gives us the sensation that the object has weight and it is solid. Always when you draw a sausage make shure it is supported by another, don't make it look like it is about to fall, sticked or floating. I tell you this specially for one sausage on the second image on the right side.
Next Steps:
Draw one page of Organic forms with 6 sausages following the simple standard form https://drawabox.com/lesson/2/5/simplesausage
-3 sausages with ellipses varying the degrees.
-3 sausages with contour lines.
