This was such a jump in difficulty from the first one, my brain was breaking >_<

I wanted to go back and redo basically all of these, but I decided to stick with the program and keep going. Thank you for your time and critique, hopefully I'll get better at this with time.

Overall review

*You should be more confident. If it go wrong, doesn't matter. it's okay!

Draw through your elipses or spheres only twice or thrice, not more than that.*

Contour Lines

It was pretty good section.

Organic Arrows

They turn properly through space. I only have one recommendation, your turns should be more confident, even if they are wrong, they should be confident.

Organic Forms with Contour Lines

Your organic forms looks nice, with proper contour lines. Just remember to draw through your elipses only twice or thrice not more than that. The rest is nice and proper, keep it up!

Texture and Detail

This was pretty good section, keep it up!

Texture Analysis

Texture analysis are very detailed, notes on it are also nice, you have projected the shadows also properly. Keep it up!

Dissections

They are just perfect! I really loved them, so proper and detailed. Very nice!

Construction

A bit attention needed

Form Intersections

This was hardest of all the exercises and it is bound to go wrong. You should only draw through your spheres twice or thrice not more than that. But, still you tackled it very well. Just pay a bit of attention to forms intersections of the circular surfaces. You understood the exercise properly, so I won't ask for a redo. Nice keep it up!

Organic Intersections

Well, here I have few things to suggest. Your organic forms should kinda melt on each other, orelse it looks like they are bout to fall down. Shadows are right, but don't forget the slouching of the forms as it will ensure that they "won't fall."

In this also, I don't feel you should redo anything. It's pretty good.

VERY NICELY DONE! KEEP IT UP!

If you have any query about the review, feel free to ask.

Thank you!

Hey!

no problem, keep it up! :)

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
