Starting with your arrows, they're flowing very nicely through space. One thing to keep in mind is that a they move farther back, the spacing between the zigzagging sections will compress. This is the application of perspective to the negative space, just as it impacts the positive space (the width of the ribbon itself).

Moving onto your organic forms with contour lines, these are generally well done, with a couple small things to keep in mind:

  • You're generally sticking to simple sausage forms pretty well, though watch the shape of the ends - right now they're more stretched than properly spherical.

  • Most of your contour lines are looking pretty consistent in their degrees - as shown here, they ought to be shifting naturally as their orientation relative to the viewer's own angle of sight changes, which is what happens as we look at different positions along the sausage form's length.

You've done a pretty great job with your texture analyses - you're focusing really nicely on the shadows being cast and setting aside your outlines, which is exactly what I want to see. Just one little thing - you do still end up using hatching lines in a number of cases. In general, it's best to leave hatching alone, as it is usually a generic, catch-all technique that people will use when just trying to shade forms for shading's own sake. It can impede our willingness to look deeper and see some of the smaller textures that are present.

You've continued to carry this over into your dissections quite nicely. In many cases you wrap the textures around the sausage forms quite well, but I noticed that in a few cases - like your stone wall and your corn, you drew them more as though the surface was flat. Keep an eye on that, and always remember that the texture wraps around the existing form.

Despite your struggles with the intersections themselves, your work on the form intersections is done quite well. You've drawn the forms such that they feel quite consistent within the same space, rather than being pasted onto a flat page from different sources. Some of your intersections are coming along well, while others suggest a grasp of the spatial relationships between these forms that is still developing - as it should be. This is a concept that we are merely introducing at this point, not one you're expected to be able to do just yet. Spatial reasoning is something Drawabox as a whole seeks to develop, and it is at the core of the course as a whole. As such, we'll continue developing this all the way through lesson 7.

Lastly, your organic intersections are coming along fairly well, as you're exploring how these forms slump and sag over one another to better demonstrate the fact that they are indeed believable, three dimensional forms. There is room for improvement in avoiding unintended slip-ups that remind us that these forms are in fact just drawings on a page - like the empty gap between the top sausage on this pile - but you're coming along quite well. As you move forwards, keep thinking about how the things you draw are solid and real, and consider how they'd interact with one another if you were sitting right in front of you.

All in all, your work is looking pretty good. You've got a few things to keep in mind as you move forwards, but I'm glad to mark this lesson as complete.
