Hi, well done on the task! Below I have some critiques:
• The arrows you drew are slanted and are quite wibbly, when they should be drawn with smmoth curves drawn with flow and confidence.
• On the 'Organic Forms with Contour Lines' exercise the ellipses you have drawn in your sausage forms have a similar degree (the width of each ellipse along its minor axis), when they should be different widths to show how the form turns in 3D space.
• Some of the boxes on the 'Form Intersections' exercise are a bit wonky and off, where the edges of the boxes should be converging in the same direction. The lines going towards the corner at the back of box fade, when they should be drawn fully.
The inside corner of your box looks like it has been drawn with more line weight like the outside edges of the box, which is unnecessary as line weight inside the box flatens the image and makes the box look like a bunch of lines.
Next Steps:
Practice your arrows and try to aim to make them less slanted with a focus on flow and confident lines. Also make sure to practice your organic sausage forms and make sure the ellipses are angled to show the form's direction in 3D space. Lastly keep in mind when drawing boxes to draw fully through your forms and do not put the lineweight on the inside of your boxes.
Do these exercises for 4 pages and then move on to lesson 3 (though still include some of them in your warm ups when starting a Drawabox sesson).
Hey there and thank you so much for your review!
I redid the pages you asked for and I definitely agree with what you said since I already noticed I have trouble executing the assignment back when I did them for the first time. For the Form Intersections I did boxes only since you mentioned them first and foremost and I had the most trouble doing intersections for them than for any other form.
Still not sure whether I nailed them down but I gave my best. Definitely gonna continue working on these.
Thank you again for your review!

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.
