Lesson 2: Contour Lines, Texture and Construction
7:53 PM, Sunday June 13th 2021
Hi!
Excited to get my lesson 2 finished. Definitely struggled with textures and form intersections here. Would love to get some feedback!
Thanks!
Hi, I'm gonna try to be concize and to give you good feedbacks. Here we go :
Arrows
It's very good, I can see you were having fun. 2 pages were enough, no need to over do it.
Organic form with contour lines
The basic forms are okay, the ellipses and curves could you use more variation in the degree, a bit mis-aligned some time as well. Be sure to work on this exercise as a warm-up in order to get those ellipses right.
Texture Analysis
You did what was asked. Just keep on going at it from time to time to work towards that 25 texture challenge and as long as you do that and keep reading the articles / watching the videos on texture from time to time as refresehr you should get better, also I believe you can share those in the discord as you work your way forward.
Dissections
These are pretty good, I can see you took your time to get those textures to wrap around the form and to get that silhouette like asked. Very solid work.
Geometric intersections
Again, pretty solid work, don't be shy to really jam those forms inside each other, not just the corners.
Organic intersections
Some of those forms are very complexe elongated/deflated, be sure to keep them simple, it will be easier to draw, and to read.
-I'd say pretty solid work overall, I'll just ask for you to rework those Organic intersections and once that's done you can send me a DM on discord #Sansh9385 if you want a fast review. And after that you'll be free to go play with mushrooms and leaves.
Next Steps:
Has described in review, redo Organic intersections with simpler forms, not deflated. Think short sausages. And after that you can DM me and I'll give you instant review
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
