Texture study and dissections were definitely the hardest.

Hi. I'll be handling your submission.

Your arrows look good. Looks like you get the idea.

organic forms withb contour lines look good but the sausages look pinched and inflatted in some areas. And these forms aren't supposssed to be forshortened in this exercise. Your textures look exeptional and as a sidenote I really like your referance choices. And your textures analysis is really good. Honestly could you give some pointers on textures cause I need some help.

Your form intersections look good but some spheres look forshortened in some areas. So, i'll be giving you a page of that.

Organic intersections look good as well

Next Steps:

Please a page of organic forms with countour lines. And please try keep them simple and the same width.

And a page of form intersections with the same level fprshortening applied to every form.

Good luck

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Great good job. an yes spheres are a pain. Your line weight form intersections are a bit messy but good work. Remember not to chicken scratch and you'll be fine.

Next Steps:

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
