Hi everyone,
I've managed to finish 1st lesson! Yay!
As much as I am aware of many mistakes that I have made, I want to take very seriously Uncomfortable's advice as to „not to work in a vacuum”, hence me posting.
I would love to hear your critique! I plan on moving onto 250 box challenge this week, hope hearing your feedback won't be a major setback in this plan.
Good luck to everyone on your Drawabox journey & stay safe!
Congratulations for finishing the first lesson, you had a good start.
So your lines looks really great there is not much I could add about it.
For the ellipses, as it would be nice if you keep doing all the exercises of this lessons every once in a while to warm up before drawing, in the table of ellipses everything looks good but it would be nice if you try to vary the angle of the ellipses a bit more, like you did in the ellipses for the funnels exercise. Now for the ellipses in planes exercise, I'd suggest you try to ghost your ellipses more times before drawing it, there's some small distortions in some ellipses that made them not look very "oval", but over all all the exercises for ellipse part were well done.
About the boxes, I personally think the rotating boxes is the most tough exercise and you did it pretty well. I can see that your boxes from the rough perspective and from the organic perspective exercises had some distortions, to correct it the 250 boxes challenge will help.
Next Steps:
Move on to the 250 box challenge
Thank you so much for your time and critique @GABYNMRTO!
I will spend more time doing ellipses in my warm-up time, for some reason I keep avoiding them and there is so much to be improved about them, so thank you for pointing that out.
After 4 months I have managed to finish 250 boxes and I think I have improved slightly, I will post them today.
Thanks again!
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
