Allright, I am not really an expert on this but might as well give it a go
Remember lesson 0 and use the warmups, I've made for me this to decide them randomly
Superimposed Lines
Some lines are kinda wobbly, and I see fraying on both sides. Remember that the point of the exercise is not accuracy but training yourself to do straight lines better, but you should work on starting on the same point every time
Ghosted Lines
I see less wobbleness, but those are kinda curving, remember to always use the whole arm while doing those
Ghosted Planes
lines on those planes are really rough, I'm really sorry. Really wobbly
Tables of Ellipses
Ok, the problem with this exercise is that you struggle to mantain the ellipses in the box, lots of them overlap too, or don't touch anything in page 2
I'll give you some credit tho, the ellipses are all roughly the same shape, that is pretty good
Ellipses in Planes
Same problems really, nothing to add
Funnels
Ellipses are not properly alligned, if you look they kinda go all a little to the left or right
Plotted Perspective
Overall pretty decent, there are some lines that are kinda slanted but I wouldn't call this badly executed
Rough Perspective
Lines in this exercise are particullary rough, It doesn't really feel like you're ghosting them properly
Rotated Boxes
Same as above, and I can see that some boxes have the same vanishing point, and that is incorrect. As the box gets more inclined the vanishing point is supposed to get closer and closer to the centre.
Organic Perspective
Prospective doesn't seem consistent, vanishing points are pretty inconsistent
Next Steps:
I'm sorry, but your problem with your execises is that you seem to lack a lot of confidence with your linemaking, I think you should really improve on that aspect first before continuing
if I were you I would do some extra superimposed and ghosted lines, you seem to grasp all the important stuff, but your lines are really wobbly. Remember that are your stage the point is having your lines straight, not precise because that comes with practice.
Okay, thank you. I'll work on superimposed and ghosted lines until my linework has improved.
Do not grind it, it's a great recepie for burnout. Do 2-3 pages of those exercises trying to be straight, not precise and when you do warmups remember to work on line confidence
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
