Hello you did quite well, also good job on self-critique on first few exercises.

The biggest mistakes I see are wrong shadows on arrows in some places and flat shadows in organic intersections:

  • For arrows try going over the top of the arrow to darken it first before drawing the shadows - that way you won't get confused which way arrow is going and darken wrong spots

  • For shadows - they should follow the form they fall on (curve along cross countour lines) to enchance 3D illusion

Still overall good job I think you're ready for lesson 3

Next Steps:

Lesson 3

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.
