Thanks for your thorough analysis! I see what you mean now, the box you pointed out has a difference vanishing point from the other boxes, and it seems to be vanishing into the foreground when it should be vanishing into the background. How you annotated the picture was very helpful, and i'll keep what you said in mind as I do the 250 box challenge :)
Thanks for taking the time to review my homework! I'm a bit of a perfectionist so, you have a point with the accuracy thing. I'm glad you pointed out how I was drawing over lines as well, I totally overlooked that, but now i'll keep an eye out. Here's my revision for the organic perspective, it's still not perfect, i just tried my best.
oops I didn't see that someone already replied, my bad!
Nice work finishing Lesson 1! Here are my thoughts on your work.
Superimposed Lines
- These look great! They only fray on one end and it is clear that you are drawing each stroke with confidence
- I would suggest trying to do some different line lengths or shapes in the future as warm-upsGhosted Lines
- good overall, a little wobble like in line 5 and arch like in line 17/10/15
- try making sure you're drawing from the shoulder, or conciously trying to arch the opposite way may help Ghosted Planes
- lines a little wobbly again, but definitely improve by the second page of planes
- the wobbliness will improve with more practice or the tips mentioned previously
- it helps me to take a deep breath before a line if i'm feeling unconfidentTables of Ellipses
- these are pretty good!
- it looks like you may be prioritizing accuracy over confidence somewhat, remember that confidence is alway the most important thing in drawabox, and it's okay if your ellipses you outside of the box or arent the exact same shape if they are drawn confidently, accuracy will come as you build that muscle memoryEllipses in Planes
- there's still a little wobbliness, but the ellipses are looking smoother on the second page
- your lines have also improved a lot, very impressive!Ellipses in Funnels
- same comments as tables of ellipses
- your minor axis is good, each ellipse is perfectly split in half
- there is a little tilt in one of the funnels but the rest are goodPlotted Perspective
- Beautiful! And nice shading
- but remember we were supposed to draw the lines back to the vanishing points since the purpose of this exercise was to see how boxes behave with shared vanishing points, it won't be as pretty but that's not the purpose of this exercise so it's okayRough Perspective
- These are nice! Your lines do get a little wobbly again so remember to take breaks!Rotated Boxes
-great!Organic Perspective
- pretty good
- just remember to use the ghosting method and confidence when adding line weightNext Steps:
A good next move would be the 250 box challenge to keep working on your lines and perspective.
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. 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.
