Your organic forms with contour curves are coming along decently, but in regards to your form intersections, there are numerous points that I raised in my feedback that your revisions do not address, including:
-
Not drawing through your ellipses two full times before lifting your pen, as is required for all of the ellipses we freehand throughout this course.
-
Not constructing your cylinders or cones around minor axis lines.
-
Not applying the ghosting method in its entirety (your line quality is generally okay but I'm not seeing any of the points we place during the planning phase to identify the intended start/end points of the mark we wish to make - at most what I'm seeing are areas where the start/ends of your marks get thicker, but this seems more likely to simply be the result of holding your pen in that position for a moment longer when starting/ending, causing the ink to pool, rather than you perfectly nailing your use of the ghosting method every single time).
-
Not applying the Y method (specifically the negotiating of corners which helps considerably in our estimation of our convergences as we construct the box.
I am really not seeing any attempt to actually address the points that I raised, which was that you are not applying the concepts and strategies introduced in earlier lessons. If there were aspects of my original feedback that were unclear, you are of course allowed to ask questions - but if you charge forwards and submit the work, I can only assume that my feedback was clear to you.
If you have questions, ask them - otherwise you'll have one more opportunity to complete the same revisions for the form intersections that I assigned previously. If the same issues continue to come up, I will have to assume that there is an issue (perhaps a language barrier concern, for example) that is hindering your ability to apply the feedback you receive from us. Ultimately because we provide official critique at a base price that does not fully cover the cost of having our TAs provide you with feedback, we operate on very limited resources compared to other courses and programs, and so we have hard limits on how much we can provide to students. If students are not able to adhere to the requirements of official critique, and run into major issues in following the instructions they're given, then that can certainly result in us simply no longer being able to provide official critique.
So, give the 4 pages of form intersections one more shot, after going through the feedback I provided previously carefully to ensure you're in a good position to apply it (and ask questions if anything is unclear). Hopefully you simply rushed without giving it a fair shake - which is its own problem, given that we are covering part of the cost of providing you with feedback - but at least it's something that can be avoided going forward, if that is the case.
Next Steps:
Please submit 4 more pages of form intersections.
