Well, this is the first time I've criticized lesson 2, so not everything I say will be right, but I'll do my best. So buckle up because let's get started.
Arrows exercise:
I like how fluid and dynamic they are and their foreshortenings aren't bad at all. It's great to see how aware you are of some of your mistakes.
Don't try to redo a line you did wrong, this not only makes your drawings more amateurish, it goes against the recommendations of this course.
Organic forms:
Some of your sausages, especially on the first page, don't follow the two-sphere pattern shown here. To me it seems more like you had difficulties with the mechanical execution than understanding this concept, since on the second page you did better.
Pay attention when connecting the sausage lines, as in this course it is important that your marks are connected.
The degree of inclination of the ellipses is good and the alignment of the ellipses is acceptable.
Texture analysis:
Good job, there are no scribbles, no hatching, and there are only cast shadows (except in the paper texture, where shaped shadows are used, after all there is no other way).
Dissections:
The textures involve the shapes and the silhouettes are broken (Very good).
Form intersections:
The foreshortening of the shapes is very consistent and the connections are ok.
Organic intersections:
The recommendation for this exercise is that the shapes are in the pattern I mentioned before, but it makes sense that some of them have this deformed aspect due to gravity. Overall, it looks good to me.
Like I said, this is my first review of L2, so I really hope you liked it. :)
Next Steps:
Lesson 3.
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
