Hey Ria_Kumo, I hope you're doing well!

Organic Arrows:

  • They're confidently drawn from shoulder.

  • Lineweight done in those arrows are smooth. I've done mistakes like slowly tracing previous mark, make sure you avoid it & always ghost before doing them.

  • When doing little hatching to show the shadows, make sure they don't stop at arbitrary points(or distances) at-least when doing draw a box lessons.

Organic Forms:

  • Like in the arrows, these forms are drawn confidently & ellipses are drawn through multiple times.

  • Just as with most(not all) of your contour ellipses, keep in mind the degree of curves when doing contour curves as well, even if they're hard to notice at first. Change them for each cross section gradually depending on the viewing angle.

  • Nice work on keeping the ellipses aligned to the minor axis & within the forms.

Texture Analysis:

  • The transition from dark to light for 3rd column, should be done gradually rather than drastically like you've done in third one.

  • The cast shadows are done nicely, though I'd suggest keeping the little dots like shadows to minimum & only if taken from reference.

Dissections:

  • The texture here are wrapped around the form & you've drawn the silhouette for each forms(even for forms like grass). Nice work!!(They're really good)

  • You've also shown variation in the detail of the texture in some forms.

I think you could've done some more textures in the ellipses if you've sliced the forms even more because some of the forms are quite long with a single texture or changing into different texture suddenly like with pudding & frosting(it's missing the break in silhouette).

Form Intersections:

  • Good job on drawing the forms with consistent foreshortening.

Now while intersections itself wasn't the main focus of this exercise(because it's really hard), I think you do need some improvement here in how they intersect. Try taking a look at how others have done this portion of the exercise(if possible filter marked as completed).

  • I think you skipped on many intersections where some form emerge out of another like with top right cylinder & box & with cone & box in the center(in page 1, there are more in other pages).

Organic Intersections:

  • You've kept the form simple & drawn through them.

  • Cast shadows here feels like they're attached to their forms, you should think of they would wrap around the other form.

Overall You've completed the exercises as instructed, especially good job on texture.

Next Steps:

Congrats!! You've completed Lesson 2, feel free to start lesson 3.

If possible try doing some intersections after looking at work of others in your warm up & ofcourse keep rotating exercises from previous lesson & challenge in your warm ups as well.

Hello, Purpel

Thank you so much for the critique! It was helpful and I really appreciate the tip of looking at other people's work marked as complete. I did struggle with the intersections a lot so I'll be sure to do that!

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.
