heck yea dude! it's all part of the learning process, gotta start from somewhere am I right? You'll do good, trust the process and don't worry too much about the end result, you got this!!!
I totally recommend like basic stretches like stretching your arms across your chest, stretching your wrist by having the palm face up and gently pulling down by the fingers to get the wrist, lower arm and fingers warmed up, and sometimes a shoulder stretch as well cuz drawing from the shoulder can leave you sore sometimes. hope this helps, and feel free to look up any arm stretches that could totally help out dude!
heyo! welcome to drawabox dude!
I'd totally recommend warming up your arms first by doing some stretches so that you can feel more relaxed and comfortable before you start, then you should totally find your comfort zone when drawing by practicing various angles in different positions and see which one is best for you. Then you should practice making strokes at a good pace, not too fast but not too slow. as you dont want to wobble. Feel free to watch scyllastew, (probably spelled it wrong), and see how you can apply her techniques to your own.
Also, dont worry about overshooting your mark, it's totally ok dude. Just remember to pace yourself, warm up and stretch beforee starting and you'll totally do good dude. Hope you find this helpful and have a nice day dude!
Nope, just. the drawings dude. It's totally ok to just upload the drawings
No prob, they look good as well, I can see the improvement and your understanding of each exercise as well, nice. The ellipsis I see have a greater improvement because of the varying degrees. The intersections are easier to see as well because of the outlines, nice! Glad you found the crit helpful dude, and you can always ask how many pages you can do for each exercise lmao. Anyways hope you found this helpful and have fun with lesson 3 and stay safe!
Next Steps:
Totally tackle either lesson 3 or the 25 texture challenge
Heyo, hope you're having a wonderful day.
Imposed Lines: They look great, only thing is that some of them wobble a bit, but eventually you'll get the hang of it. I do recommend to use this exercise as a warm up before sketching or doing any lessons because it totally helps out with making your mark and gaining that confidence as well.
Ghosted Lines: They all look accurate and confident, nice. Just remember to favor confidence over accuracy so that you don't sacrifice the confidence in your mark.
Ghosted Planes: They all look confident and accurate, nice job dude.
Table of Ellipsis: They all look pretty good, just remember to keep the loops to about 2-3 loops and feel free to practice ghosting the ellipsis before making your mark so that you build up that muscle memory and confidence as well, because a see that some of them wobble. I do recommend that you practice with varying degrees, (in different sections of the tables), so that it doesn't feel like a uniform of degrees.
Ellipsis in Planes: They all fit snug inside the planes, however I do see that a few of them are wobbly and not so confident as well. But they do hit each corner evenly as well.
Funnels: For most of the ellipsis, the alignment is mostly on point, however towards the bottom they tend to align towards one or the other side of the ellipse. Something that helped me when I was making the funnels was that I drew the thinnest ellipsis in the center first and then drew the ellipsis with the largest degree on the outside for reference.
Plotted Perspective: Looks good.
Rough Perspective: I've noticed that you haven't drawn some of the lines back towards the horizon line, and you haven't really drawn all lines in a lot of the boxes as well.
Rotated boxes: The exercise was rough on my end as well, don't fret about it too much. I did notice that the overall shape is more of an oval than a circle tho, and that some of the boxes have a bit of a weird perspective as well.
Organic Perspective: Looks good dude.
Hope this crit helps out.
Next Steps:
I do recommend redoing the table of ellipsis, rough perspective and funnels. They can be a bit of a rough exercise but as long as you know what to aim for in each exercise, it'll eventually come naturally to you dude.
I'll totally look at lesson 1 for ya.
Heyo, I'll totally crit you dude.
Organic arrows: The arrows look pretty good, I do see that a few of them tend to wobble and there seems to be one arrow that has a confusing perspective as I don't see where the shadows are on either side, it does have one area that is shaded but it still is a bit hard to figure out which side is which.
Contour lines: They look great, the lines flow through neatly and evenly, some of the ellipsis are a bit outside of the sausages but the line does flow straight through the middle. But the ellipsis don't have as much variation, most do feel the same. There are a few sausages that have degree variation in the elipsis but the long one has a uniform of ellipsis. The sausages with the contours look good, the lines curve towards the end and they look alright, but they do tend to wobble a bit tho.
Texture Analysis: Looks fantastic!
Dissections: They look great too.
Form intersections: They look good, but it is hard to follow as the lines that are more predominant aren't darkened. I can see where the shapes intersect but I'm not too sure where exactly and which shape is front or behind which.
Organic Intersections: They look pretty good as well.
Next Steps:
I'd recomend redoing the organic forms with the ellipsis and the form intersections, as both seem to be a bit lacking. Try to give the ellipsis a variation in degrees and for the Form intersections try to give a thicker outline to the outter areas of the shapes in the areas that aren't intersecting.
Heyo, hope you're having a wonderful day!
Imposed lines: They all look great, however they do tend to arc a bit towards the end of each line. Remember to just go with the flow and not think about making your mark too much, other than that, keep up the good work.
Ghosted lines: They all seem to be very accurate, but confident as well. Nice. I do see that some of them do wobble just a tiny bit, but you'll get the hang of it no need to worry about it too much.
Planes: They look accurate and so smooth, it's really neat, I did see that a few were curved and arched in a bit of a weird way, try to warm up with the imposed lines and then ghosted lines so that making marks won't be as wobbly and arched. Other than that, they look pretty neat.
Table of Ellipsis: They look great! But you do want to keep the loops to about 2-3 loops, but they still look fairly accurate and they all fit well.
Funnels: They all fit snug inside the funnel and feel pretty confident, however the transition for one of them feels off, what I did for mine is that I put the thinnest ellipsis in the center and then put the largest ones on the ends. Idk, if that'll help out or not really. But other than that, they looks pretty good dude, just remember to keep the loops to about 2-3.
Ghosted planes: The planes look good, I do see that you kept some of the ellipsis to about 2-3 loops, nice one. They feel pretty confident too, and they fit well into the planes.
Plotted Perspective: Looks cool, no comment.
Rough perspective: The lines for the boxes wobble a lot here, try to warm up before drawing boxes so that your muscle memory is good to go, and so that you won't wobble as much. The boxes seem accurate too.
Rotated boxes: This looks amazing, the way the boxes almost make a perfect sphere is amazing! Only thing is that it's a bit hard to see because the face of each box that is facing us, have thin lines. Only suggestion is to make some lines a bit thicker so that it'll be easier to see. Other than that, great work!
Organic perspective: The lines on the boxes do wobble a bit, but the perspective does change with how far the boxes are implied to be, which is a good thing. Just remember to work on that confidence with the lines and you'll be good to go.
Hope this helps!
Next Steps:
Totally tackle the 250 box challenge dude, just remember to warm up with the imposed lines and ghosted lines so that they don't wobble too much. Remember to draw from your shoulder and elbow as well.
All I see is super imposed lines. Idk if it's an error or something, but try uploading the assignment again with all photos of each assignment if you can.
The imposed lines are frayed on both sides tho, try to start at the starting point each time and go off from there.
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
