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.
This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. 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.
I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
