Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
8:11 PM, Thursday March 21st 2024
I hope this works.
This is my first submission.
please be gentle ;)
Hello. Good job on completing Lesson 1. This is an obstacle that most students never get past.
1. Lines
Perfect! Absolutely no real issues here.
Your lines are smooth, straight as possible, and constant - with no wavering. They begin at a single point and conclude precisely at another, and getting into the habit of thinking before you draw is the objective. Take into account the intended purpose of the mark you are about to create, whether it is the best mark for that, and whether another mark already exists that is fulfilling the same objective.
2. Ellipses
Homework & Exercises: Please draw through your ellipses next time. These concern the representation of circles in three dimensions and the understanding of how the ellipses used to represent them vary according to the rotation and movement of those three-dimensional shapes. Outside of Drawabox, you're free to do what you like.
3. Boxes
No issues here.
You've demonstrated that you are capable of engaging with freely rotating boxes in 3D space. Boxes are closely related to perspective, which helps us represent 3D spaces on a flat page. While 3D space exists as a set of each of the three dimensions, boxes give us three different sets of edges, each flowing in a single direction of a single dimension and perpendicular to the complementary two.
Summary
You may move on to the 250 box challenge, while adding all of these Lesson 1 exercises into the pool for your regular warmup routine. Just do your ellipses properly.
You understand what it takes and is required to create confident, fluid lines with the physical activities and approaches that enhance general control and understanding of perspective. By beginning with the fundamentals of perspective, you can focus on the important component of art, which is our comprehension of 3D space and how to represent it on a flat page. Well done!
Next Steps:
This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete, and 2 others agree. The student has earned their completion badge for this lesson and should feel confident in moving onto the next lesson.Hi there!
Just dropping an agree on your critique so you can earn your Level 1 badge!
Your homework looks great! The one thing I really want to reinforce is that you must draw through all your ellipses twice for all your DaB homework! Other than that, don't forget to also do the 250 box challenge :)
Marco Bucci's got a ton of great courses available on proko.com, including some of the best videos you can find on using colour and light. Since a lot of our students want to break into working with digital painting however, I thought this course in particular would be a great start to get into the weeds with how to navigate the confusing world of layers, brushes, and more.
This course highlights programs across the full spectrum of options, ranging from the current industry standard Adobe Photoshop, to the Free-and-Open-Source darling Krita, as well as the mobile favourite, Procreate.
