  • Arrows: it shows depth better now, not smooth though, focus more on those in warmups, try aiming for smooth lines

  • Contours: again lines not smooth, but you got the concept right

  • Texture analysis: looks OK now

  • Dissections: looks way better, but still some things to improve here:

    • hairy texture only shows hairs breaking contour on one side and it breaks contour evenly (as form wraps around some smaller ones should be visible from behind), other side should be similar

    • Try doing following textures for warm ups: 1) cow/tiger or other animal flat pattern (its flat, so you need to show wrapping around by curving it/changing scale as it nears the edges. 2) scales/feathers - it has a lot of protruding forms, so good for breaking contour + vary the scale and orientation of scales/feathers as they approach the edge.

  • Organic intersection - I don't think you got shadow part yet, it does feel like surface they-re lying on is flat which is an improvement, but shadows they cast onto other forms feel too short - remember shadow wraps around form it falls onto.

Next Steps:

I think you can move on, just don't forget daily warm ups

PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
