I was done with these lesson way before but I was lazy to scan and upload lol. I appreciate critiques and feedback!
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.
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.
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.
