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.

This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete, and 2 others agree. The student has earned their completion badge for this lesson and should feel confident in moving onto the next lesson.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
