hello! today i'll be critiquing your homework

superimposed lines- these look solid

ghosted lines- your lines are a bit wobbly and don't look very confident upon closer inspection. wobbly lines are generally incorrect- as long as the lines are straight and confident, you're doing it right.

ghosted planes- the lines are a lot more confident here. however i still think some of your lines are arching, and not in the way that's natural for your arm- they look nervous. for reference, look at the planes at the bottom of the first page of the ghosted planes you posted. they wobble and are bumpy. you might need to work on this

tables of ellipses- these look solid overall. some ellipses fall outside the table but that's fine.

ghosted ellipses- some of the ellipses don't touch any borders of the planes. however, this will get better with a little bit more ghosting and practice

funnels- some of the ellipses aren't symmetrical across the minor axis, but overall solid.

plotted perspective- looks solid

rough perspective-this looks solid as well. some of the lines on your boxes have the same problems as ghosted planes and lines. not all boxes reach the vanishing point but it's quite close.

rotated boxes- solid, especially for a beginner

organic perspective- looks fine, although you seemed to struggle with some of the smaller boxes. also there aren't many variations in the angles of your boxes.

Mainly, you need to work on your confidence in ghosting and drawing the line.

Hello Pphoeniz, I'll be critiquing your lesson 1 exercise!

Lines

• Your superimposed lines show an understanding of the lesson material with no fraying on both ends. However, while many of your lines show confidence, I noticed that your longer superimposed lines tend to wobble. You should always prioritise confident lines over accurate lines as you'll get better at them with more practice! https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/5bcda336.jpg

• Your ghosted lines and ghosted planes are excellent! You clearly took the time to plot out your lines and ghost them with confidence!

Ellispses

• The ellispses in your ellispse table are clearly drawn with confidence and drawn through at least twice. Your ellispses also adhere to staying within their bounds with very few of them overlapping. The same applies to your ellispses in your ghosted planes, your ellispses adhere to making contact with each side of the plane as much as possible.

• Your funnels are looking pretty good as well. Your minor axis clearly cuts your ellispses into two equal halves and all your ellispses stay within their bounds as much as possible without being spread far apart.

Boxes

• On your plotted perspective exercise, you did pretty well! Only nitpick I have is that a couple of your boxes have your back edge not parallel to the other three edges, this is no cause to worry as you'll have plenty of time to practice this via warm-ups and the 250 box challenge!

• In your rough perspective exercise many of your lines, while confident should always be parallel/perpendicular to the horizon line. Many of your plotted lines from the back of your boxes suffer from this!

• In your rotated boxes exercise, the corners of your boxes are kept as close as possible! I will say that you should look out for the issue of your boxes not converging toward a vanishing point, while your boxes do converge, you should try to make it more apparent as from a distance, they appear not to! https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/d73eea49.jpg

• Looking at your organic boxes exercise, you got the gist of the lesson material! Only thing I can say that your boxes in each of your rows appear same-y. However, this isn't a concern as you'll have plenty of time to experiment with dramatic and shallow forshortening of boxes during the 250 box challenge!

Overall, your lesson 1 exercise shows a clear understanding of the lesson material given and through pratice your understanding will only improve from there, great work!

Hello! great job on finishing the first lesson. I'll be providing some feedback on each lesson

superimposed lines- these look pretty solid

ghosted lines- some of the lines look a little wobbly. remember that wobbly lines are generally a mistake- even if it misses the mark, you're doing it correctly as long as your lines are straight and confident

ghosted planes- while your ghosted lines were a little wobbly in places, you seemed to improve on this problem in the ghosted planes. good job!

tables of ellipses- solid

ghosted ellipses- some of the ellipses are coming out of the plane by a lot. ghosting a few more times could help you in the future.

funnels- this was solid, though some of the ellipses weren't exactly symmetrical across the minor axis.

plotted perspective- solid

rough perspective- some of the lines miss the vanishing point by a great margin. make sure to ghost each line at least five times before placing the marks.

rotated boxes- some of the boxes perspectives are off, but overall solid

organic perspectives- some boxes look a bit skewed but you'll get a lot of practice with boxes

Hello MsPieg, I'd like to start off the review by saying great job on completing lesson 1 of the course. LINES - Your lines are already looking very confident which is really good. I like the variations you added on the superimposed lines. There is some overshooting on ghosted lines but nothing some practice can't fix. Be mindful of letting your arm be loose, not stiff, and drawing from your shoulder. The more you keep this in mind now, the easier it will become later on. Ghosted planes look fine, although, it looks like you did them in pencil? (the ones with no ellipses) Please correct me if I am mistaken. ELLIPSES - Your ellipses look good as well. I like how compact you made them on tables of ellipses ( as they should be). For the funnels exercise, try to make the ellipses get larger as they move out from the center. BOXES - Your rough perspective looks pretty good. For rotated boxes, remember to shade the edges not facing the viewer. Overall, really great work, it almost seems like you have done this before, either that or you have a very steady hand. In any case, great job and I think you are ready to face the 250 box challenge. GOOD LUCK!

Hello AgitaTree, I would like to start off by saying great job on completing lesson 1. LINES - For superimposed lines remember to start at the same spot you started in the beginning each time. Be mindful of letting your arm be loose and drawing from your shoulder. The more you do this now, the easier it will become. ELLIPSES - In ghosted planes, it does not seem like you are drawing 2-3 times through your ellipses for some of them, be sure you do that. Tables of ellipses, make sure you keep your ellipses compact and that they fill up the entire space. Same with funnels, they should be compact and get bigger as they move outwards from the center. BOXES - Your boxes look pretty good, especially the rough perspective, I feel like thats the one most students struggle with. Overall, really great job and I think you are ready to move on to the 250 box challenge.
