saked

hey Beckerito, thanks for the critique

I'll be moving to L2 now, thanks :)

You did good! there is clear improvement from the exercises you did before

Hey there Monkeeboom, I'll be taking a look at your submission today!

Lines

You did good in superimposed lines. The lines look smooth and drawn with a flow. There is fraying on one side of the lines but, that is to be expected and gets better with time and practice by cognitively drawing with your shoulder

In ghosted lines, you can try drawing much bigger lines to challenge yourself. You are missing the end points of lines in some cases, but accuracy is a second priority confidence and flow in lines always comes first.

The Ghosted planes look decent.and it shows that you've understood the concepts and followed the instructions that were told, so good work!

Ellipses

In your tables of ellipses, I spot considerable amount of wobbles. Just like with lines, the ellipses must be drawn confidently, prioritizing confidence and smoothness,over accuracy.([something like this])(https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/f4181ea2.jpg) It does however get better with the next exercise and I'm happy to see that, but it could still use some improvement.

More ghosting before putting down the stroke also might help you with wobbliness in your curves

same comment for the ellipse in planes and funnels (you can also try drawing funnels with varying sizes)

Also, if you ever feel like challenging yourself with the funnels, you could try to increase the degree of the elips the more you move outward of the center, like described here

Boxes

You did the plotted perspective exercise as instructed - not much to add here

The rotated boxes look good. I noticed that there are some boxes that could use a little more rotation,

some of your boxes are sharing the same VP. see here (mostly with your boxes on the left side)

but you kept your linework consistent and the lines look smooth and confident. so good work!

In organic perspective exercise, I can spot [wobbles in your lines]https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/5bcda336.jpg). The boxes that are coming towards the front side should be drawn bigger as compared to the back ones to sell the illusion of 3D.

There are some boxes that have some issues with the convergences of the lines, but that is something you'll get more used to when doing the 250 box challenge.

You did a great job overall in this lesson and understood most of the concepts. However I don't think you're quite ready to move on.

Hey there Janerinaldi, I'll be taking a look at your submission today!

Lines

You did good in superimposed lines. The lines look smooth and drawn with a flow. There is fraying on one side of the lines but, that is to be expected and gets better with time and practice by cognitively drawing with your shoulder

The ghosted lines look good too( you can try drawing much bigger lines to challenge yourself )

In the Ghosted planes, I see that there are some lines that show signs of wobbliness. Remember, confidence should always be prioritized over accuracy. I can also spot some amount of arching in your lines, this might happen because you are not mostly using the shoulder pivot. It can happen while using the shoulder too however, and in this case it can be fixed by trying to arch consciously to the opposite direction.

Ellipses

Looking at the elipses in planes, I notice wobbling on some of these. That is kind of unfortunate, since the table of elipses and funnels looked a lot better (altough there are some slight wobbles there, too). Remember that with elipses, just like lines, confidence should always be prioritized over accuracy and be drawn using your whole arm.

After enough ghosting, You should stop thinking about the accuracy and just go all out with the thought that all the thought that goes into accuracy is now over and now I have to draw a smooth and confident curve

Also, if you ever feel like challenging yourself with the funnels, you could try to increase the degree of the elips the more you move outward of the center, like described here.

Boxes

You did the plotted perspective exercise as instructed - not much to add here

In rough perspective, I see that you are Repeating lines in some cases. No matter how off a line is, you should never repeat it, they should kept the line as it if were correct and move on. You should let your mistakes show, as they will get better with time and practice.

In rotated boxes, You did a good job . you followed the instructions well and understood the concepts that were being taught

see here. The boxes I marked in red could've been more tightly snugged in, by using the adjacent boxes lines and making the lines corresponding to that, but I see that you've done a better work in this regard in the lower part of your exercise.

The organic boxes look good I am happy to see a lot of improvement on line quality, so good job! There are some boxes that have some issues with the convergences of the lines, but that is something you'll get more used to when doing the box challenge.

(also I think you divided the page into 4 parts instead of 3 and you're using a sketchbook instead of a printing A3 size page, that might've been the reason that you couldn't fit the boxes in tables format)

I'll mark this lesson as complete and I think you are ready to move on to the 250 box challenge. Do not forget to include theses exercises in your daily warmups, and, of course, good luck!

Hey there Kosjatko, I'll be looking at your submission today!

Lines

You did a good job on the lines section, I can see fraying on one end of the superimposed lines, but it is supposed to happen and will surely get better with practice and time.

In ghosted lines, most of your lines look smooth, but some of those do have a little bit of wobbles. A wobbly line is a mistake, no matter how accurate, and a confident line will be correct, as with practice the accuracy will get better. see here

The Ghosted planes look good and it shows that you've understood the concepts and followed the instructions that were told, so good work!

Ellipses

In your tables of ellipses, I spot some amount of wobbles. Just like with lines, the ellipses must be drawn confidently, prioritizing confidence and smoothness,over accuracy. It does however get better with the next exercise and I'm happy to see that.

Your funnels exercise looks good! Not much to add there

Also, if you ever feel like challenging yourself with the funnels, you could try to increase the degree of the elips the more you move outward of the center, like described here.

Boxes

You did the plotted perspective exercise as instructed - not much to add here.

The rotated boxes look great. On the left side of the exercise there are some boxes that could use a little more rotation, but it still looks great nonetheless. Good job!

The organic perspective exercise looks decent. There is a lot of improvement on line quality, so good job! There are some boxes that have some issues with the convergences of the lines, but that is something you'll get more used to when doing the 250 box challenge.

I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete, you're ready to move onto the 250 boxes. Don't forget to add these completed exercises in your daily warmup and also follow through with the 50% rule, as it helps a lot in the long run. Good luck

Hey there, lofidelity I'll be taking a look at your submission today!

I can relate too much to what you said about procastination. What has helped in my case is taking the 50% seriously and kind of 'forcing' myself to draw for fun to counter the DAB's struggle

Lines

In superimposed lines, as you pointed out yourself, I can see some lines with arching. This might happen because you are not mostly using the shoulder pivot. It can happen while using the shoulder too however, and in this case it can be fixed by trying to arch consciously to the opposite direction. arching of long lines does seem to get better as you did your second page, so good work on that!

In ghosted lines, the lines look smooth and drawn with flow. You've followed the instructions well and the lines start at the point that you have marked, this means you were mindful while ghosting and putting down your line

The lines, in many cases don't touch the ending point, but that doesn't matter right now as the accuracy does get better with time.

In ghosted planes, I can spot some wobbles in lines and hesitancy while drawing the line, that can be overcome by focusing more on making confident strokes. see here

Ellipses

In ellipses in plane, I can see that you've followed the instructions properly and have gone over ellipses only 2-3 times. Some of the ellipses have wobbles in them, but most of them look smooth and drawn with confidence.

However, I see that some of these ellipses are coming out of the planes and that can be made better by doing more ghosting beforehand.

In tables of ellipses, you did a good job. You've kept the ellipses within the bounds and there is no overlapping between your ellipses, so you did a good job there. I do see that in some cases, the degree of ellipse isn't consistent in the same column. Again, that can be worked upon by doing more ghosting and being more aware while drawing them.

In funnels, the degree of ellipse looks somewhat inconsistent on either sides. The degree of ellipses should be growing with equal increase on both sides to give it an illusion of a funnel. Also I do see some wobbling in your curves. Just like with lines, the ellipses must be drawn confidently, prioritizing confidence and smoothness,

over accuracy.

Boxes

you did the plotted perspective exercise as instructed - not much to add here.

The wobbliness in lines seem to make a return on the rough perspective exercise, so remember to focus on confidence with the boxes as well. Also remember, don't go over the lines to correct a mistake. Let your mistakes show and move on.

The rotated boxes look great. On the exercise there are some boxes that could use a little more rotation, but it still looks great nonetheless. Good job!

The organic perspective exercise looks decent.Remember to not go over your lines again. There are some boxes that have some issues with the convergences of the lines, but then again, that is something you'll get more used to when doing the 250 box challenge

I'll mark this lesson as complete and I think you are ready to move on to the 250 box challenge. Do not forget to include theses exercises in your daily warmups, and, of course, good luck!

Hey there Ruben, I'll be taking a look at your submission today!

Lines

In superimposed lines, you did a pretty good job. I can't spot fraying on both ends for the most part and the lines look as they were drawn with confidence and with flow. I can spot a little bit of arching this might happen because you are not mostly using the shoulder pivot. It can happen while using the shoulder too however, and in this case it can be fixed by trying to arch consciously to the opposite direction.

In ghosted lines, I can see that for some lines, the initial point is not accurate and that can be avoided by carefully placing the starting point of your pen. But it seems okay for the most part.

In ghosted planes, there is Wobble in lines. In drawabox you should always prioritize confidence over accuracy.

A wobbly line is a mistake, no matter how accurate, and a confident line will be correct, as with practice the accuracy will get better. see here.

Also you should avoid avoid going over your lines if they turn out to be unaccurate and let your mistakes be visible.

I do see a lot of improvement in your second page of ghosted planes, so that's good.

Ellipses

In elipses in planes, most of the ellipses You've drawn are smooth and drawn with flow but I can still notice some wobliness in your curves. Also in some of the ellipses, you have gone over the ellipses multiple times which make them look messy.

Ellipses must be drawn through ellipses 2 to 3 times, (2 times preferably)

The funnels look decent and I see considerably less wobliness in these pages. so good work here!

Also, if you ever feel like challenging yourself with the funnels, you could try to increase the degree of the elips the more you move outward of the center, like described here

you haven't posted pages of your tables of ellipse exercise so i don't know if you forget about posting them or didn't do them?

Boxes

You did the plotted perspective exercise as instructed - not much to add here

but..you haven't completed the exercise the page was to be divided into frames and done like this

In rough perspective, you could've drawn more boxes (the exercises page says 2 full pages with the format like linked picture above)

In rotated boxes, In many boxes, you haven't drawn through your boxes. Also I can spot some boxes aren't rotating.

Also you have skipped over organic boxes.

hello carbonated43, I'll be looking at your submission today

Lines

In superimposed lines, you did fairly well but I see fraying on both ends in some of your lines. This usually means the student is not taking their time when making their mark. You should place your pen down carefully at the beginning of the line to prevent this from happening. I also spot some amount of arching in your lines which can be countered by cognitively making strokes opposite to that arch direction. (specially in the second page of the exercise)

If you make a mistake in making your lines, don't go over them again to make those lines better (like in first page of ghosted planes).Also, there are some lines that show signs of wobbliness. Remember, confidence should always be prioritized over accuracy. Luckily, it seems to get better over the course of the planes exercise so good work there.

Ellipses

Looking at the ellipses in planes, I see that you make the first round of ellipse with flow but the second time when you're going over it, you kind of go away from the curve or stop midway. I can spot some amount of wobbliness in the ellipses too. Remember, just like lines, confidence should take priority over accuracy and it should be drawn using your shoulder with flow.

Also, if you ever feel like challenging yourself with the funnels, you could try to increase the degree of the ellipses the more you move outward of the center, like described here.

Boxes

You did the plotted perspective exercise as instructed - not much to add here

The line quality is much better in rough perspective. I can see some lines are overshooting but that is supposed to happen and only gets better with practice. Most of the lines go back to vanishing point so good work on that too, this shows that you are starting to get a hang of perspective.

In rotated boxes, you did a really good job. (see here) You haven't drawn the farthest box that the circles denote

and the boxes behind the rectangles should have been more rotated,but it still looks good. good job!

The organic boxes look decent. I can see some overshooting here, but very little wobbliness so that shows great progress.

the boxes could be more dramatic in increase of their size as they get closer. This would've given more credibility to the 3D look on a 2D page. But I think you will practice with boxes much more when doing the boxes challenge.

I will mark this lesson as complete and I think you are ready to move onto the next 250 boxes challenge. Best of Luck.

(just keep in mind to practice the ellipses section for your regular warmups) and also don't forget about the 50% rule. It helps a lot in the long run

thanks for this in depth critique of my homework!

I will surely work on my confidence in my lines as I include these exercises in daily warmup.

on to the 250 boxes challenge ???????
