Hi Kilta I'll be handling the critique for your lesson 2.

-Starting with organic arrows you are doing a great job drawing them confidently and keeping in mind the foreshortening, keep in mind though, that the negative space (space between the zigzaging sections of the ribbon) should decrease as the arrows move further away, this is a minor observation and you only made this mistake a couple of times.

-Moving on to the organic forms with contours, you are drawing your sausages consistently, avoiding any overstretching, elongated and unequal size ends.

• When adding the ellipses you have drawn them confidently, and fitting snugly inside the form, also you nailed the alignment and kept in mind the degree shifts. It seems that you have some trouble when drawing ellipses that are close to 90 degrees (when they approach a perfect circle), so keep practicing them.

• Your contour curves not looking quite confident, and sometimes they wobble, I'd suggest that you don't try to fit in that many contour curves, by adding a few well placed ones should be enough.

-Continuing on to the texture analysis, I think you are focusing mostly on outlines and negative space, also the initial black bar at the left side of the rectangle is still visible, so you want to work on making your gradients more subtle, and having that black bar merge more seamlessly into the transition from dense to sparse.

-Moving on to the dissections, you're focusing largely on outlines and negative space rather than cast shadows created by forms along the texture itself. This makes it difficult to create gradients with implied information which we could then use to create focal points in more complex pieces, by doing so we can prevent our viewers from being visually overwhelmed with too much detail. You also show that you're drawing from memory at times rather than giving yourself enough time to focus on your reference. Most of our time when doing exercises like this will be spent observing our reference and looking away for a quick second to add something to our page. I'd also like to quickly direct you to this image which shows that when we're working with thin line like textures if we outline and fill the shadow we will create a much more dynamic texture than simply drawing lines.

-Moving on to the form intersections, this exercise is just meant to get students to start thinking about how their forms relate to one another in 3D space, and how to define those relationships on the page. We'll be going over them more in the upcoming lessons.Your forms are looking quite solid here and they believably appear to belong in the same cohesive 3D space, good work.

-Finishing this critique with the organic intersections, you are keeping your forms, simple, which is a good strategy to produce better results, but there is much room for improvement left.

• You are not pushing your cast shadows far enough, instead they mostly hug the form creating them, try pushing them further.

• There are a number of missing shadows, considering you filled the entire page, there are not too many of them to imply how they relate to each other.
