Hey, I’ll be grading your homework today.

Organic Arrows:

First off, you did a good job adding line weight at the cross over areas. And the way your lines crossover one another look great too. Really makes the arrows look like 3D ribbons. But I will say your lines are rough. As if you’ve gone over them again in places to make them go in the right direction. I know the temptation to fix them, but Uncomfortable said we shouldn’t do it because it just makes them look messy. Also, your perspective is a bit off. Remember, the arrows are supposed to scrunch and overlap with distance and expand with proximity.

I’d recommend doing these again.

Organic Forms:

Contour Ellipses: Your sausage forms look good. For the most part, they’re the right shape and your lines look smooth and confident too. Your ellipses are drawn through like we’re supposed to though, though some are drawn through too much. Once or twice will do. Also, they’re not fitting snugly into the sausage shapes the way they’re supposed to be. A few are too small, but many are too big for the sausage forms. Really ghost those first to make sure they’re the right size. Barring a few mistakes, your ellipses are turning well through space though. I recommend trying these again too.

Contour Curves: Your contour curves look awesome though. They arc and hook around the sausage form like they’re supposed to. Nice.

Texture Analysis:

These look good. I wish I’d done that well with the paper. My only criticism is that the transition to fully black should’ve been a bit more gradual.

Dissections: These look really good too. You kept the lighting down the middle in line and it looks good. Looks very 3D. You made the textures wrap around the sausage form as they should in 3D and you broke away from the silhouette to help sell it as well too. The ice cream, bumblebee hair, and octopus suckers were my favorites.

Form Intersections: Your forms aren’t stretched, so they all look like they occupy the same space, which is great. They’re not small floating groups either and you used like weight to properly show the intersections between forms, which are both good. Overall, not bad at all.

Organic Intersections: Your sausage forms look nice. Nice shape. Properly droopy with the contour lines and curves. My criticisms are the shadows. The middle on the second page doesn’t quite follow the forms as it should. They’re a bit more narrow than the forms casting them too. Besides that though, these look great.

And we’re done here just about. I recommend trying another page of Organic Arrows and Organic Forms with ellipses with the changes I mentioned in mind. Good luck

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
