Hello..

Organic arrows was a problem for me the main problem i think i have there is foreshorting

Organic forms ith contour ellipses. I don't think i did to bad there

Organic forms with contour curves.. its still a problem that i have though out the lesson and of what i have heard its not a easy thing to do

Dissections... I was rushing a little on some of them... but it was interesting.

Texture analyses was something else. i did not understand anything from the video and i was mainly guessing while dong it.. but the Dissections video came me a better idea of what i had to do.

Form intersections.. I was told that my foreshorting was not very good my first page was not something to be proud of... but than i got an idea after that..

Organic intersections. Once again contour curves is a problem and i am not comfortable with overlapping the forms .

Thank you..

your contour curves are not curving around the form. remember you can hook them around for better results. also, your sausage forms are to rounded.

i cant understand your organic intersections. use line weight to reinforce which forms are on top of each other,

i cant understand your intersection. use line weight to help clarify your intersections.

your arrows look ok, i would add shading like you in the videos and try to add foreshortening.

Next Steps:

repeat both intersections and contour curves.

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.
