    Hey ????

    Your lines are doing good. I notice some you have ever so slightly curves but thats a small amount as the rest tend to be very confidently approached.

    For the Ghosted planes theyre looking great just some slight curvature to the lines but I wouldnt say it's anything major. It will get better with time.

    For the ellipses your doing a good job but I would suggest focusing on these as a warmup. When you're going over them again it doesn't stay close to the first marks you have made, resulting in almost two overlapped ellipses. (Sorry im bad at explaining ????). As for the funnels you've done a fantastic job, I'd also suggest to try varying degrees as it seems they're all similar. Again I'm not sure if this was a must do or not.

    For the plotted perspective I think you did a fantastic job! The rough perspectives you've also done well I just notices some wobbly/curvy lines but I saw it get better as you progressed.

    For both the rotated boxes and organic perspective work, I think you did great!

    Next Steps:

    250 boxes next. Grateful job on lesson one, you got this!

    Thank you very much for the critique! I agree o subconsciously tend to come for accurate lines over confidant lines, I'll ne sure to keep putting thought into them being confidant over accurate. Also thanks for the critiques on the Ghosted planes, I didn't even notice I wasn't plotting the lines at times ????

    No need to apologise for replying 'late' we all have our own stuff to do so it's no bother :)

    Thank you for all your help and kindness

    https://imgur.com/a/NS6S3K1 here are my retries, I realised when doing the form intersections I made the cylinder and Cone way to big ti begin with :-: and the organic the first 2 look messy because I forgot we were supposed to do contour lines instead of ellipses.

    Oh im so sorry :-: and thanks for letting me know

    I'll make a new reply just to be sure

    Organic arrows: I didn't really understand where to add lineweight, i thought it was for the line/side closest to the viewer and now looking back I agree there isn't much perspective.

    Organic forms: I did use my shoulder I just kept missing the end line xD and the ellipses im having some trouble with the perspectives.

    Texture: I was a difficult task but I enjoyed it at the same time! The paper was very difficult made me want to give up and I also like the strawberry texture (it was one of my favourites)

    Form intersections: I tried to add some lineweight but, as you said, I think I did It too much (this is another think I have a hard time with)

    Organic intersections: I did notice (only when i finished) I added shadows to the parts that were supposed to be behind.

    Thanks for your critique and honesty, I'll give them another go!

    I guess not, I think I accidently cancelled instead of sending xD

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. 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.

I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
