Hi Uncomfortable!
Back for my Lesson 2 critique: https://imgur.com/a/jn5UYoj
At first I drew the dissections with textures covering the whole surface and then went back to the lesson and realized you really wanted us to "fade out" the textures, so I went back and did them again. I found it extremely difficult to keep everything in mind while doing these, including following the contour of the shape, drawing the details of the texture, and trying to gradient the textures out, all at the same time. I think I ended up forgetting about shaping it to the contour oftentimes, while focused on trying to get the detail and fading it out. I also had trouble drawing the inside, ellipse part of the dissections, because the area was so small it was difficult to jam the detail in there.
I also did not intuitively "get" the organic intersections exercise, so I did a bunch. I just had a lot of trouble visualizing them "plopping" on each other and trying to express that.
Anyways, thanks again for taking time to look at my drawings!

Wow, this is amazing, thanks Uncomfortable! Really no complaints? I doubt my work was near perfect. Thanks for the suggestion on the Lego brick nubs, though. I'll keep in mind and hopefully be able to think of shapes as forms and shadows instead of outlines.
