Hi, I am Nicolas from Argentina. Hope everyone is doing okey and taking advantage of this particular moment to stay at home and keep learning. I leave my homework for Boxes (Lesson 1). Any feedback would be great, thanks!

Hi, Nicolas. Nice job completing this lesson. My first critique is regarding the automatic reinforcing. Try not to correct an incorrect line, please. Instead, leave it as-is, and spend more time ghosting the next one. The boxes in the rotated boxes exercise don’t rotate quite as much as they should, but it’s normal to experience that kind of resistance in the beginning- good attempt! Finally, though there’s some diverging boxes, the organic perspective exercise looks good, too, so congrats on completing it, and this lesson.

Thank you very much for taking the time in replying! I will take into consideration all things said, I really see what you mean. Again, thanks!

First is I think you need to sharpen your skills more by doing previous lessons homeworks as a 15 minutes warm-up before approach the new exercises. Secondly, I think you should read the instruction several times before move into the exercise. Specially at the Plotted Perspective exercises I see you using your ruler and it quite off the track. So in overall I hope you will put your whole heart to everything you do especially Drawabox exercises.

Thank you very much for this critique! I see what you mean and it really helps. Specially the thing about putting my whole heart in every excercise. Again, thanks!

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
