Thanks very much for the feedback! Sometimes i get VERY insecure about doing the line weight, specially when its a box i liked so it gets really wobbly indeed!
These days i'm doing superimposed lines every 2 or 3 pages of drawing, or less than a page depending on the amount of drawing i did, to get the lines working again.
Thanks very much again!
Thank you very very much for the critique!
For lesson 2 the organic Forms was one of the hardest exercises for me because it's really difficult to see them as 3d forms and not ellipses inside a form. This was not a problem for the Intersections exercise as I tried to see the relations between them and put it in a 3d space, but isolated sausages gets really hard (for me).
I included 2 more pages because i feel like the forms got too big!
Again, thank you very much
Congratulations on finishing the challenge!
The first boxes were great already and even then there were noticeable improvements along the path to 250 boxes!
There is a lot of experimentation (it feels like you already have some experience already!) with a lot of angles and proportions.
The hatching should be done with the same amount of care you did all the other lines! You should be taking time to evenly space them and have them touch both sides of the plane.
Be careful with overshooting your lines! And line weight should be only 1 single stroke for the out lines to highlight the general shape of the box!
I feel like my comment are nitpicking because overall the boxes are great.
Hi there! I'll try to critique to the best of my ability! Completing the first lesson is a lot of work, so congratulations and let's keep giving our best!
LINES
At the first exercise It looks like you are doing the lines with one long and fast stroke to get them straight , but with little control of where it ends because it's too fast! I can you are putting the effort to do it right, so try doing it a bit slower (but not slow! Just slower) and firmly, it will get really wobbly at first but as you develop the necessary muscle it gets easier and more precise! Just lile you did on the ghosted lines exercises!
The accuracy issues shows up in the ghosted planes exercise, and trying to do a bit more "ghosting" before actually putting the line down might help!
ELLIPSES
The ellipses are looking nice! The ellipses on the funnels exercise are anchored to one of the lines (most probably the starting point of the elipse drawing) and that might be the reason it doesn't fill the appropriate space. Try ghosting and slowly putting the pencil down, thinking more about filling a space instead of connecting two points (I hope this is not bad advice!)
BOXES
The boxes are great too. They are by far the hardest exercice here, and it feels you really took the time to do them (even though you didn't read the instructions properly and you know! Don't do that!) and the end result is great. There is a lot of overshooting on the market edges, you can correct these by putting little dots on the direction you want to do the line AND THEN drawing the line with the ghosting method (Like he did here https://youtu.be/jlJ6rwj3PKg at around 10:40).
OVERWALL
Great job! Hope you keep having fun drawing and learning
Thanks! I've noticed that after pauses i come back to drawing wobbly lines, so now I do a bit of "warm up ghosting" (drawing a line 10-20 times) before doing it again.
Thank you very much for leaving a critique, means a lot to
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
