Hello hello! I will correct your homework from lesson 2.

Organic arrows:

-You drew the folds of these well, and the illusion of depth is well achieved, You can feel them receding or advancing in space.

• Regarding the lines that indicate their shadows, they could be better. They are not very firm and rarely fit the edges of their arrows.

These lines are as important as the rest of the drawing, make them with more patience.

Shapes with contours:

-The ellipses are correctly aligned to their axis within these, and you can see the attempt in changing them in degree with respect to their position.

-The curves on the second sheet are not bad. Try to make them fit the edges of each "sausage" and not stop before reaching them.

I see that in some cases you tried to correct some lines by overlapping them with new ones. Normally this only increases the initial error, avoid it in future exercises.

Texture studies:

• The annotations of each are quite accurate. They look realistic.

• The transition from dark to light for each one is well worked. The change is quite smooth and never too abrupt.

Also the small details match the larger shapes of the texture very well.

Dissections:

• The texture is nicely rolled over each sausage, which gives it realism. I like the variety of textures used, too.

• Perhaps there is an overuse of areas of black.

Like in the Bearded Dragon texture , where they create unnecessary contrast. The shadows near his spikes are too much. Reserve the large areas of black (shadows) for the edges of the silhouette, where little light reaches or use them just a little where each shape overtakes another.

Intersections of shapes:

• Starting with the position of the shapes, this is appropriate. Most of the shapes are well grouped in the center and feel like part of the same scene.

• Regarding the intersections, most of them feel very real. There is no need to talk about advanced techniques here as you will see them in later lessons. You are doing very well so far.

Organic intersections:

• The basic shapes are still good. And each has its illusion of solidity and weight.

The way each falls on top of the other is somewhat good.

• I'll stress once again that you plan your contour curves better. Here you can see how the wrong ones kill the solidity of the drawing a bit. This will improve with time.

• Finally, the shadows you drew help to give depth. I also recommend you to use lineweight for the sausages in the foreground for more focus, I see that it has not been applied in this exercise.

  • • In closing, I will mark your lesson as complete as the fundamentals are well applied. Be sure to better plan your contour curves and any lines over time. You can move on to the next lesson at any time.
