Lesson 2: Contour Lines, Texture and Construction
6:26 PM, Tuesday December 21st 2021
Hey! Please critque my work, wish you a happy day ahead!
Hello Avinier I'll critique your work.
First thing first, you missed or didn't upload the page of organic arrows.
When you'll upload it I'll review it.
As for the organic forms: some of them are quite bumpy, and there's also quite a lot of wobblyness both in the organic forms themselves as in the ellipses inside them, also a few of your ellipses are not aligned to the axis line/ not "cut" in half by the line, although your first page came out quite well in that aspect.
You did a good job in sticking your ellipses inside the boundaries, and making them touch them!
With the organic forms with counter curves you did a good job, most curves hook around the form nicely.
As for the texture analyses I think you did a good work, especially with the form dissections.
However there are somethings I'd like to point out: in the texture analysis the transition from black to dark is too stark.
should be something like this: https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/7d1f3467.jpg
and then in the dissections I think you should break the silhouette a bit more.
Anyhow one other thing I'd like to point out, is that the "sausage" forms in your dissections are vastly better than those in the organic forms, this applies also to the forms in the organic intersection, much less bumpy and more confident, Good improvement!
As for organic intersection you did very well here, the forms seem to wrap around each other and feel overall solid to me.
EDIT: it was one page of organic arrows not two, here below I wrote mistakenly to upload 2 pages of the exercise, you need just one. Sorry for the confusion!
Next Steps:
Upload the two pages of organic arrows
and redraw 1 page of organic forms with counter ellipses.
P.S (if you find difficult drawing the forms you could either ghost them a bit more, plot them with points or make them bigger as you did in the dissection exercise)
great work!
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.
