Lesson 2 - Dissections redone (using cast shadows):
Lesson 2 - Dissections redone (using cast shadows):
Hey Cybertortoise22,
Thank you for the time and effort you took to analyze my work, I really appreciate it ^^
I now do agree with you that I need to do the dissections exercise again mainly because of the lack of cast shadows (I did interpret the exercise wrongly).
I would like to point out one thing though:
You did mention that you saw quite a lot of mistakes in the form intersections but you did not specify those mistakes.
For example was the problem mainly with the box-box intersection or mby with the box-circle intersection.
What I mean is that "you seeing quite a lot of mistakes that you don't specify" doesn't rly help me.
Best regards,
Teme
Heoo Algebrartist,
I would say that you should try to apply the things you learn with your spare time drawings.
For example if I'm learning about 1-point perspective in my spare time I would try to do stylized barrel or chest in 1-point perspective.
For me 250 box challenge helped me to visualize boxes in different rotations. Once you have box in
certain position and rotation you can begin to construct things inside of that box (or outside), for example that barrel.
I think this video should help:

What I draw varies a lot. It could be everyday objects, animals, landscapes etc.
I've had that clicking moment when I have drawn for example pine tree multiple times and then I've compare the latter one to the first one that I've drawn. I try to track my process by comparing my more recent work to my older ones.
For this I'd recommend to watch this video:

Hopefully this helped :)
Thanks a lot for the feedback, really appreciate^^
Hi Loopkin,
Thanks for the critique, I appreciate you taking the time to give a feedback :)
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
