Starting with your arrows, you've got them flowing really well. Very fluid, very smooth. I do however want you to think a little more about how the distances between the zigzagging sections ought to compress as they move farther away from the viewer. Right now you don't have them shrinking at quite the same rate at which foreshortening is being applied to the ribbon itself - the ribbon (positive space) is getting narrower much more quickly than the gaps are, so keep an eye on that. They should be much more consistent.

For your organic forms on contour lines, you're largely doing well, with a few areas for improvement:

• You're drawing your contour ellipses really smoothly and confidently, but you are having a bit of trouble in terms of accuracy. Keep trying to get those ellipses to fit snugly between the edges of the forms, while still maintaining the confidence of that stroke. Same goes for the contour curves.

• The sausage forms themselves are close, but you do have a tendency to draw one end larger than the other (by a little bit), and you also tend to have some ends that are more stretched out rather than circular/spherical. You get closer on the second page, but still have a few slight deviations.

Moving onto your texture analyses, you're doing a great job of moving towards focusing on clear shadow shapes rather than outlining your individual forms, although there are some places where you're still drawing lines where you perhaps shouldn't be as inclined to rely upon them. Try to set those lines aside altogether. One thing that will help is to force yourself to draw every mark in a two-step process. One step to draw the outline of an enclosed shape, and the second to fill it in, as shown here. If, when drawing texture, you don't allow yourself to draw lines that start and end at different points, you'll be forced to continue to think entirely about shadow shapes, and will avoid outlining the textural forms (since you'll be forced to fill in any area you outline).

Moving onto the next page, I think you've shown HUGE improvement. Your texture analyses were pretty good to start, but I think the issues I listed above about outlining are largely gone as you move into your dissections. You're leaning much harder into purely working in shadow shapes, and avoid outlining forms where even most students tend to slip up and fall back into those habits. You're also demonstrating a lot of patience, care, and strong observational skills. Very well done.

In your form intersections, you've done a great job of constructing your various forms such that they feel cohesive and consistent within the same space. You've also got an excellent start on the intersections themselves - these are just to serve as an introduction to the idea of spatial relationships, to get students to start thinking about how they can define those relationships in their drawings. That said, while we don't expect students to have much success here, and while we will continue to explore these throughout the rest of the course, you're doing an excellent job already and are definitely at an advantage as you move forwards.

Lastly, your organic intersections are coming along fairly well. You've got these forms clearly interacting in 3D space, rather than as flat shapes on a flat page. You're also doing a good job of capturing an illusion of gravity in how they slump and sag over one another. My only concern is that a number of these forms end up feeling somewhat squished and mushed, even when nothing else is pushing down on them. Not a big deal - they're still three dimensional, but perhaps something to keep in mind as you move forwards.

So! All in all, your work here is coming along great. I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete, so keep up the excellent work.
