I didn't see any specific question you were asking, but the things you're describing are not out of the ordinary. People respond to the challenges involved in learning new things differently - all we can ultimately do, and all this course asks of you is that you execute the work to the best of your current ability, without rushing, because that is the only way we'll be able to see what your real limitations are. Identifying them is the first step to finding ways to break past them.

Hello,

Here's the response you've initially waited for - the link to re-tried exercises, which is: https://imgur.com/a/qVAeN3S

If there's any comment I could give it would be: I just don't know

Looking forward to your comments on this and re-trying again cause I'm personally not happy at all about the results but that seems to be all I can do

While there's still work to do these are an improvement.

You aren't drawing through your organic forms still which is definitely something you should do in the future. You're pushing your shadows which is good, but you tend to focus on just the ending point of your forms rather than considering the entire form.

As for form intersections I'm glad you're drawing larger, you still have some inconsistencies and could use more time planning some of your forms but this is a step in the right direction.

I'll be marking your submission as complete and moving you on to lesson 3.

Keep practicing previous exercises as warm ups, re-read through your previous critiques carefully and make sure you follow the instructions provided by them and the lessons correctly.

Good luck with the rest of the course, I hope you achieve your goals.

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.
