BAGOOL

Hi there! You'll be my first critique, and even though I haven't submitted my own work yet, I hope you'll find my review helpful, or at the very least, encouraging. So here goes:

• Fraying on superimposed lines is to be expected, and it'll get easier for sure, so continue working on starting in the same spot and don't hesitate once you've committed the pen to page.

• I noticed some wobbles on your ghosted lines, which again, is to be expected. Just keep trying to control your speed as your draw through the line, and it'll get better.

• I thought your tables and funnels of ellipses were immaculate.

• On your Rough and organic perspectives, I noticed a trend of drawing through the points where your boxes end. I don't think this was expressly forbidden or anything, but you may want to work on stopping your pen once you reached your point. As you approach the 250 box challenge, you'll want to minimize the visual disturbances as they will add confusion and possibly interfere with your line analysis. This is something that'll come with practice too, as you use these exercises for warm-ups, so don't fret!

• I noticed there was no rotated boxes in your submission, you may want to add that soon!

All in all, I think you're doing fine, keep up the good work!

Hi there! Here is your critique.

Superimposed Lines: Good job.

Ghosted Lines: Your lines are wobbling, which means that you're either drawing from your wrist or still worried about accuracy. Using your shoulder minimizes erratic wobbling, focus more on confident and consistent lines. And don't forget to apply the ghosting method.

Ghosted Planes: Same issue here, be patient, use your shoulder, and commit to that line. Flow is more important than accuracy!

Tables of Ellipses: Ellipses are touching top and bottom, and the positions of some are a little off but over all, well done.

Ellipses in Planes: Some ellipses are outside of the planes here.

Funnels: There is a good understanding of the alignment with the minor axis line and ellipses are fit in the funnel, good job.

Plotted Perspective: Not much to comment here.

Rough Perspective: Depth lines are very close to the vanishing point, so well done!

Rotated Boxes: Some gaps are literally non existent, specifically in the corners, the boxes at the end are almost unnoticeable, you may need to review the instructions again.

Organic Perspective: When drawing the boxes that are very close to the viewer they should be exaggeratedly large to the point of getting cut off by the frame. I noticed that those boxes are similar in size than the previous ones.

Now I would only recommend you to work on your wobbling lines.

Draw from your shoulder.

Apply the Ghosting Method.

Commit to the line you are drawing.

And don't worry too much about precision, flow is more important here.

This is my first time reviewing something :s so let me know if this was helpful.

There are still like a lot of wobbly lines on ghosted parts. I feel like your kind of tense when you are doing a line and doing it slowly (since doing it fast with your whole shoulders give you a pretty much straight line). Im sorry if this not a good advice but i think your should not rush and relax. Don't think about accuracy. Again im at the same lesson with you. Also im offering you an exchange for my lesson 1 too (i wasnt complete with it lmao), if you choose to decline this offer, then im fine with that. Have nice day :3

Nice job! your lines are confident and straight, and your ellipses are good.

For the rough perspective exercise, the horizontal and vertical lines are supposed to be aligned with the edges of the canvas.

In this exercise, your lines also tend to wobble, remember to ghost every line and draw with confidence from your elbow no matter what exercise you are doing.

As for your four rotated boxes exercises, any one of the four attempts you did would have been more then good enough to pass. I would recommend that for the future, you move on from the exercise and go to the next one, even if you are not quite happy with the results. That way, if the exercise is truly flawed in some way, whoever is giving you feedback will tell you to redo it, but if it's not flawed you will learn more by moving on. You can always redo exercises as a warm-up, too, if you want a re-fresh on it. The rotated boxes exercise is one of those exercises which is intentionally difficult and is only really there to introduce you to a concept and nobody expects you to master the first time you try it.

Nice job though! All your exercises are super good!

Hello I’ll be handling the critique for your lesson 1 homework

Lines

-Starting with the superimposed lines, here you are doing a great job always starting at a clearly defined point and keeping all of the wavering on one side, your lines show little fraying at the ends and wobbliness. What I can see is that your lines tend to make a slight arch so make sure you are engaging your whole arm with a locked wrist.

-Moving on to the ghosted lines exercise, here your linework is looking very confident and you are using the ghosting method to good effect. I can notice very few instances where your lines make an arch as they are approaching the ending dot, so always prioritize to get straight lines even if you are going to miss.

-The ghosted planes are no different from the ghosted lines, here your linework is coming along nicely.

Ellipses

-Starting with the tables of ellipses, these are looking very tidy instead of rushed, and I can see that you have kept the degree, angle, size and spacing of the ellipses in mind, there isn’t that much to comment here, good job.

-Your ellipses in planes are turning out well, but there are some things to keep in mind. Always aim to draw symmetrical and evenly shaped ellipses, don’t worry too much about having them touch the four sides of the plane as it can make them distorted and wobbly, ellipses are really hard when you are beginning but you will eventually get better with practice.

-Your funnels are coming along nicely, and it is great to see that your ellipses are still confident and drawn through, overall you have done a great job when it comes to the aligning and spacing.

Boxes

-Starting with the rough perspective, it is good that you have kept the confident linework which helped your boxes look more solid and three dimensional, Keep working on the alignment of the sides of the boxes, remember that the horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon and the vertical lines should be perpendicular to it .

-Your rotated boxes are turning out well as you have kept the gaps between boxes narrow.

When it comes to the rotation there are some boxes which are not rotating, the ones at the left side of the horizontal axis specifically. One thing that can help you with these exercises in spatial reasoning is to use as much space on your page as you can, this way you will make confident and accurate marks because it will be easier to draw from your shoulder.

-Finishing with the organic perspective there are some important things to point out. Some parts of your linework look very scratchy, avoid this at all costs as it undermines the solidity of your forms and shapes. Secondly, do not try to correct lines which you have already drawn. If you make a mistake, leave it like that, do not draw over it as it only makes the mistake stand out more.

Lastly you are already doing some good attempts at the perspective of the boxes. Good job! They still have some issues, but that's not a problem as you'll work on them on the box challenge.
