Hi, Let'as not waste any time and start.

Your arrows countour elipses and countuor lines look good.

Your texture analysis looks good your used a few hactiching lines in your crumpled papper but other than that everything looks good.

Form intersections look exceptional.

Organic form intersections could use some thought when it come to cast shadows. First pick a light source and imagine how big shadow would be and how thw shadow would curve on top other forms.

Next Steps:

1 page of organic disections. Please give a bit more thought on the cast shadows.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Thank you for the critique! Appreciate it very much, I'll follow your advice, you're right I was confused with the cast shadows. Thanks for the tip as well about cast shadows, I never thought about deciding how big my shadows will be in my drawings.

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
