    Hello!

    Before going in detail with the exercises, I think I have to mention that the exercises of this course are supposed to be done by hand and in paper, not in computer!

    You should be using a black fineliner size 0.5 as it says in lesson 0

    With this said I'll mention now the exercises per se

    Lines:

    Superimposed Lines: Some of them are good, but other times the lines are fraying on both ends. You have to try to start always on the same point!

    Ghosted Lines: Mostly good! A few ones don't start at the point of origin like in the previous work, but it's something that only happens in a few.

    Ghosted Planes: Good, but in this exercise you can see why doing this on paper is important. The lines are too thick for the purpose of the exercise

    Ellipses:

    Table of Ellipses: Same than with the ghosted planes exercise. The lines are too thick for the purpose of the exercise. And also I think that you have only drawn the ellipse 1 time. You're supposed to draw 2 or 3 times over each one!

    Ellipses in Planes: Here and in the Funnels exercise you make the same mistake than before. You draw the ellipse only 1 time.

    Funnels Exercise:

    Boxes

    Plotted Perspective: I think it's good!

    Rough Perspective: The lines of the correction should start at the end of the box/the closest point to the vanishing point of each box.

    Rotated Boxes: This is a quite difficult exercise so it's normal that there are more mistakes.

    Some of the boxes’ corners aren’t consistent with each other: https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/9a16c189.jpg.

    Also, here the fact that it's made with a thick pen makes it quite messy, overall at the center

    Organic Perspective: The general perspective, from far to close is quite good, but individually some boxes perspective ain't that good, and you forgot to add that line from behind that we're not supposed to see!

    Summaricing, I wouldn't recommend you to go with the 250 boxes challenge, mainly because the job is not made witht the materials said in lesson 0, and also paying special attention to the ellipses exercises

    Next Steps:

    Repeat the lesson one, this time with a fineliner size 0.5, and take your time to read and do the exercises step by step.

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    Aaaa thank you very much for this critique man!

    I haven't been checking this because it said it could take weeks to get a reply, should have been looking for this way more!

    And I've been revising my work and agree with what you say so yea, I think I'll add the Ellipses in planes to my dayly routine or at least do it a few times per week.

    Thank you again!

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.
