So many mistakes xD. Mainly where the terminator was supposed to go. However I did learn a lot about what my weaknesses are.

I made lots of mistakes but I have come so far!!!! when I started this course knew nothing about how to even read an image for value but now I can at least read and estimate where values are meant to be, I make a lot of mistakes but for a beginner that is a lot of progress. Thank you DORIAN

Somehow I end up overcomplicating shapes. And forget that a bottle is a combined shape, which makes me forget the cast shadow of the top cylinder... Discovered that there are some knowledge/awareness gaps considering more complex objects and how cast shadows fall on them. A very welcome addition to this course would be a video on how to figure out, let's say, if the bottom part of a cylinder, such as the bottom of the "arrow" shape in Lvl 2, gets any light. Very sneaky and humbling exercise!
