First thing I noticed is that your lines in organic forms up to contour lines are a bit wobbly. I see that you fix that in organic intersections and detail work, but paying attention to use your shoulder to make any mark may help with the wobble. Another thing in contour lines, your ellipses seem to flow arbitrarily, and you're missing the contour lines with curves work. I would like to see 1 page each of contour ellipses and contour curves to see where you're at right now before marking this lesson complete.

Your texture work is pretty good. In texture analysis, you're lacking the transition from dense to sparse, and in dissections, you could wrap the texture around the form better in some instances. (Pineapple and cloth wrinkles for example) But nothing major, a good work overall.

I see that you started to tidy up the wobble in form intersections, and it seems that you understand the intersections very well. But it looks like you used some clean-up passes where the forms intersect. I would suggest to you to not worry about the accuracy of those lines. Intersections generally look good unless there is a major mistake, so don't push too hard for perfection.

In organic intersecitons, you seem to put a very good work. You understand how the shadows work, your marks are a lot cleaner. Pretty good paper.

Overall a great work but I'm going to request some extra work on contour lines. I'm sure you improved a lot and it's a very easy homework, so it shouldn't be much of a problem. Keep up the good work!

Next Steps:

I'm requesting 1 page of contour ellipses and 1 page of contour curves. In contour ellipses, I would like to see snug ellipses, and confident lines in both papers.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Woah thank you for the quick feedback!!!!!

Yeah even now I have a tendency to do clean up passes, so having it explicitly pointed out really helps me to remember better to really avoid this bad habit.

anyway here's my work and thank you again!:

Massive improvement as I imagined. Only thing that stands out is that some curves could've been wrapped around a bit more, you could've gone a bit further in some curves. Other than that, pretty good work. I really like what you did with all the homeworks, they're mostly pretty good.

Next Steps:

Be more free to define the 3D structure of the forms and don't forget to put marks confidently. And keep drawing!

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.
