Hi there,

Your Organic Arrows have a good flow and you are are allowing edges to overlap. However, I do see that you haven't applied a sense of perspective. Remember that the distance between the upper and lower edge of the arrows goes on increasing as they approach the viewer/viewing window.

Your first page of Organic Forms with Contour curves does have consistent shapes, but I do see some tapering and squared edges on the second page which you can try to focus on in the incoming lessons. One thing to note here is not going over the lines more than twice even if the end result doesn't come out good. Keep practicing drawing curves with your shoulder and you will definitely get to creating smooth curves.

For the Texture Analysis, avoid drawing the forms or the outer edges of the texture detail. Think about drawing and filling in just cast shadows. The shadows should be dense at the beginning which get sparse as you reach the end.

Your Dissections are on track considering the fact that your are thinking of breaking the silhouette but you need to make sure that the texture also follows the curvature of the sausages.

You did a great job with the Forms Intersections. You did cross hatch the sides that are facing towards the viewer which helps distinguish the forms more.

And finally for the Organic Intersections you did well by keeping the forms consistent. Note the fact that your shadows need to be not sticking to the forms. Instead, just like other forms they should follow the curvature of the form below.

Hope this can help!

Next Steps:

You can proceed to the next lesson. Good Luck!

Yep more or less what I expected, except perhaps for the organic intersections bit. Is it a general mistake or could you give me an example? Honestly I was far more worried about my forms.

Also is there improvement between texture analysis and disections?

Either way thanks for the critique!

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
