Alrighty! Fair warning, it's past 9pm and I still have 7 critiques to get through. Fortunately they're all (yours included) very well done, with only a few small things to call out - so while I'll be approaching this critique in point form for the sake of not having dinner at 2am, I assure you I am providing this feedback having gone through your homework thoroughly, and I am ensuring that you are getting the information you require to continue working through the course as effectively and efficiently as you can.

Without further ado,

• Your arrows are looking excellent. Great job maintaining a consistent width to them (in terms of avoiding any erratic differences between the two parallel-ish edges), and in applying a consistent rate of foreshortening/perspective compression not only to the positive space (the physical arrow structure itself) but also the negative space (the gaps between the zigzagging sections).

• Organic forms with contour ellipses are coming along pretty well - you're sticking fairly closely to the characteristics of simple sausages, although at times the ends get a little elongated and the midsection sometimes swells a little (none of these are worrisome, and they'll all improve with continued practice in your warmups. The degree shift between your ellipses is admittedly at times a little inconsistent, either maintaining an equal degree or changing in a way that doesn't suggest an intentional pattern - so that's likely something to focus on when practicing this in your warmups.

• Same goes for your organic forms with contour curves, although the issues with the sausage forms are a little more exaggerated here, while conversely in at least some of these I can see a more intentional use of the degree shift.

• Your texture work is phenomenal, which is odd because we only introduce this concept here not with the expectation that students will have any success with it at all, but instead to give context to the things we learn as we work through the constructional drawing exercises in Lessons 3-7. It's there that we develop our understanding of spatial reasoning in the most targeted fashion, and as this will most directly reflect on constructing large structures, those same underlying concepts directly influence how we design our cast shadows here. So... really, really well done, but slow it down so when you come out the other side on Lesson 7, I can actually claim to have taught you something :P

• Your form intersections demonstrate a high degree of patience and care in your use of the ghosting method, and in your application of the concepts from Lesson 1 and the box challenge as applied to a far more intensive task. That is, if we set aside the intersection lines themselves (which similarly to the texture are just another round of us introducing a problem we'll be developing in lessons 3-7 - though again, you're demonstrating a well developing grasp of this already), this is essentially just applying the same things we've already confirmed your understanding of. It's that when we mix it all together, many students will rush, and that is something we want to catch and address sooner rather than later.

• Organic intersections are similarly coming along great - your cast shadows demonstrate a good grasp of how these forms interact in 3D space, and the sausages themselves maintain their solidity while conveying a good grasp of how they behave against one another, under the sway of gravity.

I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete. Keep up the fantastic work!
