Hi,

Arrows : The tip of the arrows aren't as flowy as the rest of them. Try using the ghosting method for the tip. Also, the hatching shadows don't seem the be placed behind the intersections (the twists). Try to really see them and your mind before putting your shadows. Also, the band should get closer together as it gets farther away and narrower. Take a look at the first image of lesson 2. The parallel lines get closer together as it gets father away. You could also draw more simple arrows, similar to the one in the lesson 2 image, so you first master those concepts (shadows, bands getting narrower and closer), before trying to being creative.

Organic forms : They seem to be 3d and have weight so good job on that point. The only thing is that the ellipses and especially the contour lines seem to be having too much of a similar degree. That is incorrect because even if they are strait beans or sausages, the degree should vary depending on your point of view. Try seeing this with your fineliner (with the tip on). Close an eye and put it close to your eyes (5 cm from your face) and parallel to the ground. You will see that the left extremity have a contour line with an opposite degree to the right extremity, and everything in the middle vary between them.

Texture : Your texture analysis are very good, since you focused on the cast shadows. Though, the box on the right for the stone wall and the broken pavement could have a sharper gradient, with the lines disappearing more at the end. Your textures on organic forms warp well around the forms, but they could have a gradient, with the texture being more pronounced at the extremities and less present at the part facing toward us, like if the viewer was a light source. That could have saved you time and would be a sign you really controlled the texture.

Form intersection : The intersection could be more pronounced, showing the objects diving deeper into each others. Also some work more work is needed to have them be more realist but it's normal, that exercise is made to be difficult. There is one page (the third), I don't see any intersections. What you could have added to show which forms were above the other was adding weight lines and hatching lines to the surfaces on top.

Organic intersections : Again, the contour lines should have a more varying degree, especially since the sausages are bending and crushing each other. And again, the forms are substantial and there is weight to them. Congratulations on that. Some of them are flatter, but Uncomfortable wants us to focus on more round ones.

Overall good job for this lesson.

Your main weaknesses for this lesson are : Not using the ghosting method for every line. Not varying the degrees of the ellipses and contour lines (The demo videos of the lesson 3 will help you on that). Not using weight lines. Using weird shadows on the arrows and not getting the bands closer as they get far away. Not using gradient for the textures.

Your main strengths : Giving realistic weight to your forms (organic or not). Good analysis of texture by observation. Nice boxes (the 250 box challenge wasn't wasted).
