Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
6:01 AM, Sunday April 28th 2024
First time learning drawing. Thank you for your time and your critiques!
Hi, nice work on completing Lesson 1!
Lines
The superimposed and ghosted lines are smooth and clean. The only exception are your arcs, which are bit wobbly. A few of your ghosted planes are wobbly too.
Ellipses
Your ellipses in planes are even. However, the next exercise could use a few more ellipses in the table, especially in the first page. They should be snugly packed in there. Make sure to draw through your ellipses 2 full times. Some of them seem to be draw through only 1-1 1/2 times. The funnels look good, just remember to keep the ellipses smooth. Try to avoid sharp points on the top and bottom.
Boxes
The "Plotted Perspective" exercise look nice and neat. So do the "Rotated Boxes" and "Rough Perspective" assignments. Your oragnic perspective work looks like a lot of fun; good job on using different shapes and angles! Don't forget to converge the box's lines as they move away from the viewer. You did that well on the first page, but the perspective becomes more shallow on the second page (see the last rectangle, the box in the left bottom corner especially).
Next Steps:
You can move onto the 250 Box Challenge now! Incorporate these assignment into your daily warmups. I highly recommend the table of the ellipses you can practice drawing through those shapes 2 full times.
Thank you so much!!
I'll work on the ellipses more!
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.
