Hii Darkozet, I'll be reviewing your homework today.

First of all, congratulations on finishing all the exercises!

Arrows

I think you did a good job on this one, you compressed your arrows making them bigger and bigger as they came closer to the viewer, which is very important to create the 3D illusion. However, I noticed some line repetition which is something to be avoided, whenever you make a mistake you should consider as if it were correct and move on.

Organic forms

These are great! You kept the forms simple, you drawn through the ellipses 2 times, they are within the boundaries of the forms, they are also aligned with the axis and their angles are changing, besides that they also are hooking the forms, so congrats!

Texture Analysis

Your drawings are pretty good here too, you focused on drawing the shadows instead of the form, but the transition between the black bar and the texture could be a bit smoother, you can still see that black bar.

Dissections

Your dissection are really good! You broke the silhouette of the forms and "wrapped up" the texture around them.

Form intersections

Everything looks quite alright for me, I dont have much to say on this one.

Organic intersections

This is also really good, the forms are simple, none of them are "floating" around and they are also shaded correctly, well done!

Overall I think you did a great job!

I hope this was helpful and I thin you're ready for the next Lesson, good luck!

Hey Fex, i'll be reviewing your homework today.

First of all, congrats on finishing all the exercises!

Lines

Overall your lines are pretty good, they are confident with no wobbling, there's no fraying where the lines begins, the lines are not arching, there's no freehand lines you plotted all the dots correctly, so great job! I would recommend you to draw more lines, it's okay if they overlap, like in the uncomfortable's example

Ellipses

In these exercises you drawn through the ellipses 2 times mostly, they are within the boundaries of the forms, not overlapping and are confident, that's great!

Boxes

The same stuff from the lines applies here, but i'm gonna just reinforce that you never must repeat a line, you should just consider as if it were correct and move on, also be careful when applying line weight, you should do the same process of ghosting as if it were a new line, so it will be exactly on top of the original one.

Other than that, you drawn trough the boxes, on the rough perspective exercise all the horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon line and the line correction was applied, as it should be and everything else looks pretty great.

On the organic perspective some boxes are kind of foreshortened but this will get better once you start the 250 boxes challenge.

Once again congrats on finishing those, i think you did a very good job and i hope this was helpful!

Good luck with the 250 boxes challenge!

Hii! I'll be reviewing your homework today.

First of all well done on completing the exercises!

Arrows

I think you did a great job compressing the arrows, in the sense that they move farther/towards the viewer, creating the depth illusion, however, your lines aren't very confident and are kinda "hairy", so i'd recommend you to pay attention to this matter, ghost your lines before drawing them and all that lesson 1 stuff.

Organic Forms

These came out great! You kept the forms simple, the ellipses are drawn through, they are aligned with the axis, the angle changes, they are within the form boundaries and also the contours are hooked, so good job!

Texture analysis

Again, great work done here, you focused on the forms of the casted shadows, there are no random marks. But i think you could've had made the transition on the black bar smoother, because the black bar is still pretty visible and we don't want that.

Dissections

This is, in my opinion, the hardest exercise i've done so far, and your drawings are very good! You broke the silhouette of the forms, you wrapped the texture around it and the transitions are great.

Form intersections

I think overall you did a good job, you ghosted most of the lines, they are drawn confidently, but again, watch out for the "hairy" lines, if you're trying to add line weight to it you need to ghost that same line carefully and then do the mark, just like in any other situation.

Organic intersections

This one also came out great, you kept the forms simples, the shadows are drawn accordingly to the shape is being cast onto, but some of the forms are kind of floating so i'd be careful with that too, but i guess is more of a practice thing.

I hope this was helpful somehow, overall you did a great job and i think you're ready for lesson 3!

Good luck!

Helloo, I'll be reviewing your homework today!

First of all, congratulations on completing the exercises, it is indeed a tough lesson.

Arrows

Your arrows are great! The lines are confident and smooth and they are compressing as they get farther from the viewer, so well done!

Organic forms

These came out pretty good too, they are simple sausage forms, the ellipses are drawn through, their angles change, they are within the shape form and aligned. Also the contours are hooking the form, so congrats.

Texture analysis

You did a great job by drawing the cast shadow shapes, but the transition between the texture and that black bar could be smoother, we can easily recognize the bar.

Dissections

I noticed you didn't break the silhouette of the drawings, this is an important step to create the 3D illusion, I'll leave a link here on how you could've have done that.

Also be careful to wrap the texture around the form, usually it gets "squished" on the outer edges because the texture becomes farther from the viewer, I noticed you did that on some drawings so I guess it's more of a practice thing.

This is by far the hardest exercise of this lesson, so dont stress too much about it.

Form intersections

Your lines are great, but you should only draw then once. Other than that everything else looks pretty great.

Organic intersections

Here you kept the simple forms, which is great, but some of the sausages look like they are kind of floating, this is pretty common on the first time doing this exercises, but be careful on the next time. Also you're shading along the form instead of considering the form where the shadow is being casted on, I know this sounds confusing, I'll also put some examples on that same link I already shared.

Heres another example of how this can be done.

I hope this was useful somehow and i think you're ready for lesson 3!

Maybe you could start off by adding the lines over a photograph, could be at the computer or in a newspaper/magazine idk whatever fits you best and then try to recreate the lines on paper, to check if you understood where the lines should go. Sometimes i do this when i'm having a hard time finding the angles.

I did those on paint https://imgur.com/a/P03KXqE

The Loomis method can be kind of confusing at first, it's kinda tricky on extreme angles, it took me some while to get used to it, but once you do becomes very intuitive. The most important thing is to understand where you should be looking for the angles, Proko explains this in his videos.

There's a Steve Houston video in which he explains how to construct the head, i don't think he mentions the Loomis method, but it's basically what he's talking about, and he also explains how this was applied in some artworks. His approach is very constructive and didactic.

If you already saw this then nevermind lmao.

Anyways, hope this helps!

Sorry about the delay, i've been kinda busy.

Your texture analysis exercise is good, but you could try to make the drawings darker as they get closer to the black bar so we can't really tell where the black bar is.

Good luck with your studies!

Hi Rivgar!

Thank you for your time and critique.

I do tend to draw small, partly because i wasn't sure of how many plants i should be drawing, partly because i tend to draw as big as the reference is, i should definitely start zooming in.

Sorry about the delay, i've been kinda busy these days, but here it is the additional plant drawing required.

Hello Anna! I'll be reviewing your homework today.

First of all, congrats on finishing all the exercises!

Lines

Your lines are great, no wobbling, no fraying or arching, they are planned and confident. I noticed in the organic perspective there's a bit of repetition of the lines, which is something to avoid.

Ellipses

You did a good job on the ellipses too, they are drawn through, inside their boundaries and smooth. On the funnels exercise the ellipses are aligned with the axis, so well done!

Boxes

What i said about the lines also apply here. You drawn through the boxes, on the rough perspective exercise the width lines are parallel to the horizon and the height lines are perpendicular, as it should be and the lines were corrected. Your rotated boxes exercise is really good, i think it must be the hardest one of this lesson but you managed to get it right. On the organic perspective exercise some boxes are a bit distorted, but you'll improve with the 250 boxes challenge.

Overall your homework is really good! Even with the language barrier i think you understood the concepts really well.

I hope this was somewhat useful and you're ready for the 250 boxes challenge!

Hey! I'll be reviewing your homework today.

First of all, congrats on finishing all the exercises!

Arrows

Your arrows are pretty good! The lines are confident and smooth and there's no repetition, the arrows have a sense of movement, but most of them are not compressing much to give the perspective effect we are looking for, so try to make the spacing between the lines bigger/smaller as the move towards/farther away form the viewer, like this

https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/011d064f.jpg

**Organic forms***

You did a great job on this one, your shapes are simple as they should be, the ellipses are drawn through, they change their degrees according to the direction of the shape, they are aligned with the axis lines and are inside the shape, also your contours are hooked, so well done!

Texture analysis

I'm not sure if you forgot to do this one or just didn't do, if it's the later i think you should give it a try, because it's an important exercise.

Dissections

You did a great job on changing the silhouette of the sausage according to the texture and also wrapping the texture around so we can have that depth sense, but I'd be more careful with trying to draw the cast shadows instead of the lines you see, this example might help a bit.

https://i.imgur.com/M9JJfr4.png

But overall you did a good job!

Form intersections

I think you did a good job here as well, the lines are confident and well planned, the ellipses are drawn through, but i see you repeated some lines on the first page, which is something to avoid.

Organic Intersections

In this one you did well on drawing the simple forms, drawing through them and the shading is pretty good in most part, but some of your sausages are kind of floating around, i think this is more a matter of practice but it helps to think of the shapes as water balloons that fall on the top of each other, so they kind of wrap around each other.

As i said, your shadows are good overall, but remember that they kind of wrap around the shape underneath them, like this

https://imgur.com/a/ExWilEa

These are minor observations, but i hope they are useful.

Again congrats on finishing the homework, hopefully this review was useful somehow and i think you're ready for Lesson 3!

Hey! I'll be reviewing your work today!

First of all, congrats on getting through all the exercises, they are pretty rough.

Arrows

I don't think your arrows are horrible, i think you did a pretty good job! The lines are not wobbly, you were careful to compress them so it looks like they are getting farther/closer to the viewer. I'd say for to be a bit more careful to make the turn on the arrows at the same height, like in the like bellow

https://imgur.com/a/isq9KoD

I actually struggled with this too, someone who reviewed my stuff gave me this advice, i think it can be applied to you also.

Organic Forms

I think you did a great job on this one, the lines are confident, the ellipses are drawn through, the shapes are as described in the assignment, the degrees of the ellipses are changing and they are aligned to their axis.

Texture analysis

I think you got the most of it right, drawing cast shadows not form shadows, not hatching or dotting for the most of it, so good job! I'd only try to be smoother in the transition, 'cause we can still see the black bar on the left.

Dissections

This is probably the hardest exercise so far, so i think you did a great job! The textures wrap around the forms, you broke the silhouette, you drew cast shadows and were careful with your marks.

Form intersections

Okie, so the main thing here was confident lines, planning the lines, drawing through the ellipses, ghosting the lines, all that basic stuff, so i think you did a very good job!

Organic intersections

Overall you did a good job one this one too. The shapes are simple, your lines are great, you drew through the forms.

Some of your shadows are kind of sticking to the form of the object they're being casted on, not the form of the object that casts it, but as you did it correctly on most of them i assume it's just a matter of practice, anyway here's a link that may help.

https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/516f8d4f.jpg

Also some of your shapes look like they're kind of floating around unsupported, so you can try to think of them as water balloons that stack upon each other. I struggled with this too, helps if you try to not leave blank spaces between the sausages.

That's a kind of a hard exercise too, so you did a good job.

Again, congrats on finishing the homework, i hope this was useful somehow and i think you're really for lesson 3!
