Hi Itsseajay, I've checked your submission,
Starting out by your organic arrows, I'm liking how you are making them flow through the page, I see some issues in some of them where you didn't really make the lines cross, though don't worry, I understand it's just some hiccups. Remember to make them smaller as they get away from the viewer and make the spaces between turns bigger as they get closer to the viewer, this will help you sell a better illusion of depth.
One last thing, I'm seeing you haven't applied any line weight at all, remember that it is a very important communication tool. Also whenever you are doing some hatching, do it in a consistant way. Here is a quick demo explaining where you need to apply line weight and cast shadows!
Moving on to you organic forms, I like the how you are varying the degrees of your ellipses, though you are doing it pretty randomly, here is a little demo to help you with deciding the degrees of your ellipses! Another thing regarding ellipses, whenever you are doing them go through them twice, not more nor less.
On to your texture exercises, I'm really liking what I'm seeing. In the first page of your dissections you started drawing your textures explicitly, which was a contrast with the great work you did on you texture analysis, though you then realize this and redeem yourself with some implicit textures in your second page of dissections. Remember to always draw your textures implicitly, with the use of cast shadows and transitions from dark to light, if you still have some questions about this topic, check out Uncomfy's video from the lesson which is great, and if you still have questions, ask me in a reply!
The first thing that caught my eyes in your forms intersections is that sometimes your lines go really wobbly, remember to always take your time to ghost them, I know that there is some tricky lines in the intersections, though you still have to ghost those. Other than that, remember that whenever there is two boxes intersecting with each other, the intersections will rune parallel to one of the boxes lines.
Organic intersections looks pretty good, though remember to be more subtle with your cast shadows and that cast shadows follow the form they are being cast on. Also, whenever you are applying line weight, you also need to be using te ghosting method and try to do it as confidently as possible, it's just like a superimposed line.
Okay, I'm gonna mark this lesson as completed! Keep it up.
Next Steps:
Move on to lesson 3!
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.
