Yeah, it's important not to fixate on excellence. Currently I separate halves by asking whether I intend a particular drawing to be evaluated (by me or someone else).

It bothers me because I think that it's totally fine to wish for a good end-result when you draw, and even when aiming high and above your skill level. When one knows that improvement IS inevitable a wish for a good end-result is another force that keeps one on drawing again and again, regardless of failures. Well when we aim and above our skill level I do think that such wish should by no means be a priority, yet I don't see a need to eliminate it...
But overall I agree. Thanks
Yeah that's how I approached it as well. But then thoughts like "I'm doodling but I repeat same doodles trying to see how I can improve them. So what am I doing now..?" made me write this post. Uh
Thanks though
Hello, Aero! I critiqued your lesson 1 submission few month ago. I'm so sorry, I didn't see that you've sent me revisions!
Regardless, I agree with Coffeemmm. This work is solid: line weight and convergence checking are proper. You have improved so much, keep that up!
Alright! Going to follow your suggestion.
Thanks again!
Hi there, Filurfelix!
I ask you to do 50 more boxes and try to improve in areas I mention below.
I needed to see 3 things in your work
Drawing through your forms
Checking our convergences
Line weight
You did draw through all of your forms. That's good!
But other 2 are the problem here.
My main concern with your work is convergence. There are quite a few boxes where you didn't extend your checking lines in right direction. Examples are 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 66, 67. Though I didn't try to find all of incorrect ones. Your last (200-250 for sure) boxes do not have such a problem.
Other problem is line weight. Things like too much line weight, weight in internal lines, excessive corrections/drawing over incorrect line. Examples: 16, 19, 20, 25, 235, 239, 247, 250.
And minor suggestion don't lean so much on dramatic foreshortening . In actual drawings you'll need shallow more often (by it's definition).
Please check orginal challenge notes that I pinned above.
Next Steps:
50 boxes with correct line extension and lineweight use
Here I tryied to show what I mean (Hope the imgur link works)
There is chance that I didn't understand your path/curve the way you intended. Yet it looks to me that on the first page you accidentally jumped from one area of curve to another. I tried to convey the way I see your paths in 3d space with different weight of red line.
Hope that makes it clearer. If not - ask again.
Don't worry about organic perspective exercise though. It is mainly just an introduction to a spacial problem that we will have to solve much later.
You're welcome!
Greeting Aero!
There seems to be one clear mistake, but overall you did a good job.
In more detail.
Areas to improve:
in ghosted planes, rough perspective and organic perspective exercises you seem to have rushed a few times, so accuracy went down
in other exercises like ghosted lines your accuracy is recognisably better
in tables of ellipses your angle and position can be improved
It seems to me that accuracy in rough perspective has suffered especially. So I ask you to make 2 more pages of Rough perspective focusing on vertical and horizontal lines and on planning your lines in general.
In organic perspective it really stood out that in first panels on both pages you stepped away from your curve. Yet there shouldn’t be a need to redo it.
Nice things that stood out to me:
often your lines are really confident and there is little to no curve to them, keep that yp!
you say you struggled with funnels and I say that thus you’ve made there quite nice ellipses
Next Steps:
2 more pages of Rough perspective.
I’ll be ready to mark this lesson as complete and suggest you to move to 250 Boxes Challenge once you send those revisions. Wish you further development!
Great! I hope it is recognisable that at least in last 50 boxes I was trying to stop do correctional lines on top of wrong ones.
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
