I'm doing ok, thanks. I hope you are as well.

Your organic forms are on the right track but there are a few things to make note of:

  • You should draw through all of your ellipses (you neglect to do so on some of the small ellipses on the end of your organic forms).

  • In the organic intersections exercise try to wrap your forms around the form below rather than just resting the top form against the lower one.

  • Try to push your shadows further, currently they mostly hug the form creating them.

  • In the form intersections exercise you're mostly just highlighting the existing edge rather than creating intersections. Here's a demo of what to look out for.

I'll be asking you to draw one more page of form intersections please, if you have any questions before getting started feel free to ask them.

Next Steps:

1 more page of form intersections please.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hello hello,

how are you? Thank you for taking the time of reviewing (several times haha) my homework. I see now with the last demo that you gave me.

You've drawn your intersections this, time good work.

It's quite common for people to feel like they don't fully grasp the form intersections exercise, if you feel like you may fall into this category try not to stress too much. This exercise is just meant to get students to start thinking about how their forms relate to one another in 3D space, and how to define those relationships on the page. We'll be going over them more in the upcoming lessons.

I'll be marking your submission complete and move you on to the next lesson.

Best of luck in lesson 3.

Next Steps:

Move on to lesson 3.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
