Hey Uncomfortable, I finished the homework for Lesson 2! Definitely going to continue practicing this stuff as I go forwards. Textures still make me cry, but I'm doing the 25 Texture Challenge to get more mileage. Also, I need to keep practicing my ellipse-based forms.
You can find my homework here. Just go to the next page to see 'dem form intersections. :-)

Don't worry, your homework is probably just somewhere down below in the hundreds of submissions this post Uncomfortable gets. When I post my homework, I almost never see it after it has posted, but Uncomfortable still finds it anyway. I'm sure you could find your post, but you'd have to scroll down a very long way.
Just don't worry about it. If Uncomfortable hasn't gotten back to you in a few days, then your post may have been lost. Then just post again, mentioning that you tried earlier and it didn't seem to work. :-) No biggie!

Awesome, can't wait to get started on Lesson 3! :-) Yes, I felt that some of my contour curves were getting just a little bit off. That's why I did an extra page of blobs with contour ellipses before doing the dissections. I'll make sure to do some more pages organic forms so I don't slip back on them.
I'm glad I'm doing well on the dissections. I became quite frustrated with those the first time I did them. I'll make sure to keep practicing those as wellin the past, I tended to avoid exercises I had had trouble with, but this is the exact opposite of what I should do.
I really enjoyed the organic intersections! I really got a sense that these objects I was drawing were floppy and had weight and volume. It just became a matter of flopping more of them onto the pile until I ran out of room. I'll be sure to repeat this one.
I'm as ready as I'll ever be, so onwards to sketching plants! :-)
