Hi Aielo,
I've checked your submission,
Your organic arrows are looking pretty good, it seems like you are striving to create depth with them, one thing that you could push further and will help you create the illusion of depth is giving smaller space between edges as the arrow gets further, you are already doing this, but I think you can exageratte it more.
I see that you are struggling a bit in your organic forms, more on the making the form with a confident line, than with the countours. In my opinion, organic lines are the hardest, so remember that they take time and practice, though take your time to ghost them. Also, remember to vary the angles of the ellipses and contour lines to create more depth on the forms.
It really shows that you put the time on your textures exercises, though there are some things that I wanted to point out. First, by seeing your different dissections, you are sometimes trying to do some transitions of detail density in some of your textures, but the in others you are just putting down explicitly what you are observing in the texture. Now, don't get me wrong, that is a great start and this is a very hard exercise, but I'm pointing it out because I can see the great job you did with the tree trunk for example, where you implicitly show a transition from very dense information to a very light area where there was none, and see that you can do it. I always recommend to go back and watch the Implicit vs Explicit, Comfy makes a good explanation on it about detail density.
Another thing I catch on, is that you are not always wrapping you textures around the organic forms, now again, this is pretty damn hard, but that is why we practice contour lines, you have to start believing and convincing yourself that what you are drawing is 3d.
Your intersections looks okay, though I cannot really understand some of them because you didn't use line weight, remember that it is not an aesthetic choice in this course, it's an element for communication, in this case which form is in front of other. Take this into account as you move foward, most of things we learn here are just tools that we can use in order to show clearly how our forms sit in 3d space.
Your organic intersections look pretty good, you did a good job wrapping forms around each other, though I think that is lacking a little more line weight to communicate everything more clearly.
I'm gonna mark thi lesson as completed! Keep it up.
Next Steps:
Move on to lesson 3.
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.
