Hello Mikka I'll be handling the critique for your lesson 2 homework

-Starting with the arrows sections your linework is coming a long pretty nicely and your application of lineweight are good too, I suggest that you experiment with the foreshortening more in your practice, and as a final note regarding this exercise you want to decrease the negative space (space between the zigzaging sections of the ribbon) as they move further away.

-You have kept your organic forms consistent and simple, just remember that we want to avoid any ends of different sizes, pinching, bloating, or stretching along the form's length as discussed here, you only slipped up in some cases, overall your work is pretty good here too.

Your contour ellipses and curves are good, you have kept the degree shifts in mind, but you could definitely try to improve the alignment

-Moving on to the texture analysis, I can see that your observational skills are great, you have kept focused only on cast shadows rather than outlines, but keep in mind your light source, there are some cases where the cast shadows seem to be going in different directions

-Continuing on to the dissections exercise you have kept up the good work here, but you fell in to form shading in some cases, remember that we only want to focus on cast shadows, it is not important to try to convey the color of the object we are looking at, the only information that we should get from the textures is how it would fell to touch the surface of the object we are drawing. So in this respect texture and construction are basically about conveying 3D information.

As a final note regarding texture, I'd also like to quickly direct you to this image which shows that when we're working with thin line like textures if we outline and fill the shadow we will create a much more dynamic texture than simply drawing lines.

-You have done great in the intersections exercise, filling the page with forms and really pushing yourself to think about how these forms relate to one another. 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.Your forms are looking quite solid here and they believably appear to belong in the same cohesive 3D space, good work.

-Finishing with the organic intersections, you show that your sense of 3D is developing, as your forms begin to wrap around each other believably and your use of contour curves is pretty good here. When drawing your shadows you don't always push them far enough to cast, instead they mostly hug the form creating them, try pushing them further. It appears like your shadows aren't following a consistent light source, I recommend pushing your light source to the top left or right corner of the page to start with, it's easier than working with a light directly above your form pile.

You did a great job here so I congratulate you!
