Thanks man for this critique. I'll take a good look on my perspective next time. I struggle with Vanishing points but I have observed that as I draw more and more and keep track if I'm doing it right way I improve. Thanks for this feedback. I'll try to correct my mistakes in 250 boc challenge.

And always remember to work on your 50% rule. It will improve you much faster than exercises.

Hi !

I hope you're doing good. So today I'm critiquing your work.

PS. : I forgot to mark the lesson complete in the previous comment so I'm posting it again.

So let's first look at the lines section.

For your superimposed lines I would say that your almost everyline has an a arching problem. I think that you should really check if you are drawing from the shoulder and not from you elbow, usually arching lines are a result of drawing from elbow.

Coming to your ghosted lines exercise. There is some progress here, but you need to work on your line quality. If you are drawing slowly try to speed up a bit. Remember that the goal is to make straight line it's not that important for it to touch both points. Even if it misses one or both but is near to them and is mostly straight. It is considered a win win. Try reading the ghosted line section once more. Now don't sweat it. You'll reach there gradually.

Your ghosted planes looks good. Just a bit wobble in them apart from them they are good. Good Job ????.

You are ellipses are very good. But i really think you should have tried more variations in degrees. Like more narrow ellipses. Keep these in mind while doing warmups. Ellipses in planes are also ok just work on contours.

You've done a great job at funnels. Just try more variations in warmups. (If you want to ????)

Plotted perspective is good but you should've shaded the reigon which is the front facing portion.

Coming to rough perspective I see your line quality is much better here. But i see you struggle in drawing the back side of your box. Remeber the lines in the back side run parallel to the lines in front face. It just gets a bit smaller and the lines connecting them converge. Try watching videos from other people as well on perspective. It will give you a better sense of judgement for your perspective. When learning try not to learn from just a single source. Try to learn from others as well as they may tell you some techniques that you may comprehend very well and are easier to use.

And please extend your boxes line back to the horizon line so that you can see how much you are away from your Vanishing point.

Now rotating boxes. It looks you got nervous which is actually normal. When I did mine it seemed like the hardest thing I ever did. What I noticed from your exercise is that your boxes on the axis lines are ok but the boxes in the diagonal areas are off and you really struggled there.Now I won't ask you to do it again. You'll eventually pick it up. But I think you should really re read the section from exercise and watch the video once again. To get a better understanding.

Your organic perspective exercise clearly shows that you've got a good sense of depth and space. Just work on the shape of your boxes. Right now some of them are more deformed.

So, You did it (yay! ????).

Just keep the things that I told you in mind and try work on them in your warmups.

And always remeber to work on your 50% rule. Draw whatever you want don't just do exercises. Spent an equal amount of time on drawing things you like and want to. You'll improve much faster from that. Don't be afraid of bad drawings. We all have a lot of those. Don't get too attached to them. You can always do it better.

So don't give up keep going. Wishing you luck and See you in the next section.

Thanks man. Really need this feedback. You mentioned things that I wasn't able to pinpoint. I'll work on them improve. Once agains Thanks

Hi !

I'll be critiquing your work today.

Lets start with the superimposed lines.

The first thing I noticed in your page is that the lines are wobbly, while the fraying at the ends is normal but there should not be that much wobble in the lines.

Coming to planes exercise. Your planes look pretty impressive but there is some wobble in the lines. You should also try some bigger planes but for now these are ok.

Your table of ellipses look good. One thing i like about your table of ellipses is that you have wide variations in degrees of ellipses. I don't have much to say for your ellipses, this also goes for your ellipses in planes exercise. Just work on tightening the contours of your ellipses.

Your funnels exercise was pretty amazing. Keep the good work up ????.

Plotted perspective is just as it should be one thing I noticed is that you haven't fully extended the line back to the Vp which I suggest you should do as it will help you to discover your mistakes if any down to the minute discrepancies. But it will do for now.

The rough perspective is one of my favorites from your work. Even though there is a generous amount of wobble in your lines. I see you've got a pretty good grasp of perspective.

Now, the rotating boxes exercise.

And gotta say man I was blown away by the precision it was executed. Such amazing work. I don't see that very often in lesson 1 work. Some clean line work, good hatching, you've good a good understanding of space and you've done a good job in rotating the boxes.

The organic perspective exercise is also good. Keep it up man.

Now I would say that you should really work on improving your line quality there should be minimum amount of wobble in the lines. For this you should read the section of ghosted lines once again. Try to pinpoint what is giving the problem, if you are drawing slowly try to speed up a bit, check if you are actually drawing from your shoulder, change orientation whatever works for you.

As uncomfortable mentions it a line drawn with confidence that does not touch both or one point is much better than a wobbly line. Now don't sweat about your lines. We are not here to produce perfect work. Just work on this and you'll be okay. Rome wasn't build in a day you know ????.

So I'm marking this lesson as complete and I ask you to move on to the 250 box challenge. Keep the good work up.

See you in the next section.

Well one thing that differs AI art from Human art is that the algorithms or models as we say in machine learning that creates those art pieces are not emotional. Yeah they do a good job at predicting or say imitating what pain, happiness, anger, etc feel like but it doesn't know what it actually is and that's what I think differs AI art from human art. I mean every artist has a personal touch to his art. You follow an artist for a good period of time and you start noticing that even though the subjects of the pieces, scenarios or even the mediums of art maybe different but they all share some subtle similarities that bind them whole as a work of single artist. I mean I started noticing this just recently in all artforms like music, design, drawing etc. I was listening to the music and suddenly it hit me and i guessed the musician without having the slightest idea who composed that song because I never listened to that song before. See sam spratt or say kim jung gi or marvel studios, linkin park. All their art radiates some auras that are unique to only them. These things are not possible in AI because it takes refrence for everything from the internet and not from the experiences like humans. But because a lot of people in this world doesn't appreciate how much efforts an art needs they'll still prefer the cheap AI art with a lot flaws. So that's a bitter truth but yeah it will affect us as artists. But since introduction of carpenter tools didn't make the carpentry job extinct or turned every person into a carpenter. I say before it's too late we should learn how to harness it's abelities to level up ourselves. Yes AI steals from everyone on the internet it doesn't build anything new. So I would say keep friends close but enemies closer.

Well I gotta say you are improving. When I looked at your submission I noticed that you did some mistakes (as we all do) but in the later pages you improved those mistakes.

So before I tell you 'bout the areas you need to work on I would Say

KEEP IT UP MAN !

For the ghosted lines I would like to say that the lines are too short and they're mostly of the same size so I would say next time you do that please try variations in line length. No matter how they end up but do some longer lengths.

We're DOING these exercises TO BUILD CONFIDENCE and loosen up anxiety in markmaking. Don't worry WE WILL GET BETTER.

In your ellipses in plan exercise I've noticed that some ellipses are not even touching the two sides that thet are meant to touch.

In the rotated boxee exercise you haven't clearly drawn through some boxes which is required. And your boxes in diagonal areas are not even complete. So work on that.

In your rough perspective exercise boxes are very wobbly. Try to do that with confidence. They may end up a bit deformed but they should look drawn with confidence.

In organic perspective the boxes seem to be of the same size along the curve with some variation in sizes that don't matchup with their position along the curve.

They are meant to get big in size when they are near the end point and smaller when they are near the starting point.

The boxes on the straight axis in the rotated box exercise are ok but the boxes that are in the diagonal areas are not following the perspective.

So, go through the material again. Try to understand how they should be drawn. Observe how they are drawn in the sample homework sheet shown in the exercise page. Take your time and do it again.
