Thanks for your review! It was very thorough. I appreciate you taking the time :)

I've completed the following:

One page of Arrows

One page of Organic Forms (contour ellipses)

One page of Organic Intersections

I think I understand the contour lines a lot more now - I wasn't really using these effectively or changing the degree of the ellipses much. I'm still struggling with organic intersections - I know my cast shadows aren't exactly right. I was trying to wrap them around the form contours but I can see I didn't do this quite right in some places.

Let me know if there's anything else I should do.

Hi Aero,

I apologize for the long wait. I've just been a bit busy with a few things lately. Hope you don't mind.

For the arrows, there's noticeable difference in the foreshortening of the width: as the arrows are coming towards you, the widths increase, and vice versa. Try to include foreshortening in the gaps between them two. Sometimes I notice that the gaps between the arrows closer to the viewer are two narrow relative to further away, whereas it should be the other way round.

For the contour ellipses, it's a bit better. Maybe push it a bit more though if you can.

Lastly, the Organic Intersections this time seem better than in the previous one. The forms wrap around each other more. Though, I recommend practicing this more often. You should get to the point where you look at it and doesn't feel as if it's frozen in time, if that makes sense.

Next Steps:

Good job. Move on to lesson 3.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
