Hey Doctormein!

I just wanted to say thank you for looking at my work, I appreciate the time and effort it takes to do these critiques.

I can see what you're saying regarding the arrows, I still struggle to move from what I understand as being 3D to actually making it look 3D on a page. I'll definitely keep what you said about foreshortening in mind.

I will do the revisions for the organic forms ASAP. I can see how the angles of the elipses are far too similar and don't demonstrate the form being 3D. Will give this another go.

I appreciate what you said about the textures. It's something I need to revise again to get my head around it fully, it's a different way of thinking about them, than what I am used to.

The intersections I really struggled with, I will definitely give this revision a try. I sat for hours trying to warp my head around how the forms would wrap or intersect one another, it's something I need to try and explore to understand better.

Thanks again for your feedback, I really appreciate it. I will send the revisions ASAP.

I am glad I could be of help!

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.

Orconomics by J. Zachary Pike

Orconomics by J. Zachary Pike

This is one of my favourite books. It's a fantasy-comedy romp, and the world that J. Zachary Pike has created honestly takes my breath away. There are laughs at every turn, but the story is not without its heart wrenching moments - some for which I have yet to fully forgive the author.

If you're at all curious about the kinds of nonsense I read, or just need something new to sink your teeth into, this is one I can highly recommend. On top of that, being self-published by an indie author, it's the kind of thing where your individual support can go a long way.

P.S: The audiobook, with narration from Doug Tisdale, is especially good, and elevates the story in ways I can't rightly describe.
