Arrows are pretty good. Only thing I can say is that you can exaggerate them more by making them grow more exponentially. Make sure they also don't crop and fill inside the page properly as well.
Organic forms are pretty good as well. Lines are confident in general, except some contour curves, that have a little bit of wobbliness (Don't forget that you should always prioritize confidence over accuracy). And the forms themselves are almost there, some have their ends a bit pointy, so don't forget that the ends should be balls. But they're pretty close.
Textures are great overall. Only 2 issues I can see is that firstly, you have some white dots on some black shapes which can be distracting to the viewer. Try to make the shadow shapes as even as you can, a brush pen can help for this.
The other thing is the shadow shapes themselves, in which you're sometimes relying on drawing with lines instead of shapes. To make this easier, you can start by drawing the outline of the shadow shapes you want to draw, and then filling them. .
Form intersections are good too. Nice confident lines, and the forms are solid. The only thing you're missing is that the form's foreshortening isn't consistent. To make this more manageable draw them with shallow foreshortening, it'll be much easier to mantain them consistent.
And lastly, the organic intersections feel super solid. The only issue with them is that you got some forms that feel like they're going to fall. Don't forget that in this exercise the forms are supposed to be stable, so try to imagine them on their final position before drawing them.
Overall like I said, pretty good job, so I'm marking this as complete. Good luck in lesson 3 and keep up the good work!
Next Steps:
Lesson 3
Thanks for the critique. Only question I have is about the boxes and with foreshortening. Is it not okay to give them some foreshortening even if they're shallow? I wanted to make the boxes somewhat varied while keeping them shallow using what i currently know about how boxes work in 1, 2, and 3 pt perspective. I guess i misunderstood the exercise and what I did was unnecessary. I based that one on the example shown rather than what was said, so i messed up there i guess. Again, thanks for the feedback. It's helped alot
The main objective of this exercise is to make the forms feel like they're on the same scene, to do this they need to have similar foreshortening. An exercise where the foreshortening rate varies is the organic perspective exercise on lesson 1, so do it in your warmups if you want to practice different rates on the same exercise.
Alright, will do. Thanks!
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
