    Noted, Thanks again!

    Thank you for the Great and complete feedback! if you excuse me, I have just one question about the line weight, how should I make them?

    I read again the text part of the lesson and saw videos of other people making this challenge, Until this day I guessed we would have to make them as a second line above the silhouette of the box, and If that's the case I don't know if I'm suppose to draw them fast or slow. (if it's fast, it will not superimpose the other line, and if it's slow it will become wobbly)

    Should I use another fineliner to make them darker at first try? I'm still stuggling to understand the procedure.

    You're welcome! remember to reply me with the drawing whenever you're done so I can mark your lesson as complete.

    Hi.

    I can see that in the first few exercises you applied the idea of prioritizing flow over accuracy very well. But when it arrived at the tables, the lines started to get more wobbly. This is normal to happen since we are more afraid of making mistakes when we doing more complex things, but for that you need to police yourself.

    the same goes for boxes, who are following the prospects well, but have very hesitant lines. Remember to warm up 5 minutes before each exercise.

    Most ellipses have 2-3 turns, which is good and shows that you understand how to make them well.

    Next Steps:

    You can go to the 250 box challenge, but I suggest you use loose A4 papers, since the rings of your nootebok can disturb you.

    Nice work!

    I can see from the drawings that you understand the fundamentals of each class.

    In the phantom line exercise some lines came out slightly arched while others came out very good. This will improve with the next challenges, remember to warm up by repeating these first exercises and use your shoulder when drawing.

    In the ellipse exercise, several had 2-3 turns, which is good.

    In Rough perspective some lines came out too wobbly, this usually happens because the fear of missing lines inside a box is greater, don't take this to the 250 box challenge, the flow is always more important.

    Finally, in the rotated boxes you had a hard time changing your perspective on Lef-bottom and top-Bottom.

    Next Steps:

    Good Luck in the 250 Box Challenge

    Helo!

     I can see that your phantom lines are arching a little, if you are already using one shoulder to draw, try arching your lines a little in the opposite direction.

    In the funnels, you are doing a lot more than 3 turns for each ellipse, remember that the ideal number is 2 to 3 turns.

    In the rough perspective, some of the box width lines are a little slanted, they must be parallel to the horizon line.

    In the practice of rotating boxes, you have reduced the height of the central-side boxes too much, so the boxes on the diagonals are strange.

    Finally, in the exercise of organic perspective, some boxes are at angles less than 90 degrees, which cannot happen.

    I believe that you did the exercises in this lesson well and are ready for the 250 box challenge, just pay attention to the details that I pointed out in this review.

    Next Steps:

    Good Luck on the next steps

    Hi.

    In your superimposed lines exercise, both sides are untidy, ideally on one side you start by scratching from one point, while on the other side the lines diverge a little.

    In the Phantom Lines I see that the lines are arching a little, if you are already using your shoulder to draw, try arching a little in the opposite direction, you will see that the lines will be straighter.

    In most of your ellipses you are doing much more than three laps, the ideal number is 2-3 laps.

    In Ghosted Planes some lines are arching too much, remember that before the exercises it is good to warm up by practicing the previous exercises. The same criticism applies to the Box exercises, in which the lines are a little unsteady, remember that flow is more important than accuracy.

    If you put a shadow in the exercise of the rotated boxex, the design will be more understandable.

    You did well in this lesson, but to continue with the challenge of 250 boxes, I suggest redoing the last exercise of organic perspective with straighter lines and without worrying so much about accuracy, remember to put points to help you where to place your lines .

    I hope it helped, this is my second review on this site. I think your repetition of the last exercise will help you in the next drawings, until today I redo the exercises in lesson 1 to help me better understand the fundamentals of drawing

    Next Steps:

    Redo the last exercise of organic perspective, try to put points to guide you where to put lines and don't worry too much about acurracy. also, it is good to do 5 minute warm up with the first exercises.

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    Hi.

      First of all, some of your superimposed lines ended up Fraying on both sides, maybe this has to do with the rings in your notebook.
    
     In the exercise of phantom lines, the accuracy is great, but I think some lines have arched a little. I believe you did it right and used your shoulder to draw, so maybe what you can try to do is arch a little bit to the opposite side.
    
     In some ellipses you have done more than 3 laps, so remember that 2-3 is the ideal number.
    
     Your boxes were good, some lines arched a little, but this will be good with the next training sessions. If you had placed the corners closer to each other in the rotating box exercise, it would have been even better.
    
     You did well in this exercise and I believe you can proceed to the 250 box challenge.

    Next Steps:

    You can go to the 250 box challenge, try to use my tip of arching a little in the opposite direction, if it doesn't work for you, just keep practicing with your shoulder.

    Thank you so much for the Feedback! I was really struggling with the arching lines, I'll keep your advices in mind for the next drawings.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
