Hi TMMILLEA,

Thanks for your feedback.

Here's the revisions you asked for:

For the organic intersections, yeah I see what you mean about the contour lines. I tried to be more careful this time.

For the form intersections, I did what you asked and drew fewer forms.

(But I don't really see the issue with what I did before. The instructions specifically said "fill up the whole damn page" and "it will get visually confusing, but push through it". That's what I was trying to do. If there's some kind of upper limit on the number of forms we're supposed to draw, it should be noted in the lesson/homework description.)

I see what you are saying about the instructions. I got the exact same critique on my lesson from a Patreon critique, which is why I gave it here. I think maybe they should reconsider the language they use because it does seem to incentivize students rushing to get a lot of shapes on these form intersections.

But well done on the revisions. Your forms feel much more solid in both intersection exercises. The extra time you took on each form really shows here.

Next Steps:

Move on to Lesson 3!

PureRef

PureRef

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.
