Hi GHOSTJACKO_O congrats on finishing Lesson 1! I'm Shaydy and I'll be reviewing your work.

Your Superimposed Lines look great, I can see you were careful to line up your pen at the start and your lines appear very confident.

Same for your Ghosted Lines and Ghosted Planes. Things are looking really good, nice accuracy as well!

Your ellipses look great.

For the Funnels exercise, your ellipses should be drawn more closely together so that they are touching each other. Also pay close attention to ensure they are aligned to the central axis.

Your Plotted Perspective looks good, nice hatching.

Rough perspective looks pretty good. I see some fraying here so make sure you are still taking your time and using the Ghosting Method when drawing your lines.

The Organic Perspective looks good, and you made a really good effort with the rotated boxes exercise. I can see you had some trouble rotating your boxes steeply enough, but overall you've done a nice job of the notably more difficult assignment in this lesson.

I can see you've grasped the concepts of lesson 1 and are ready to put them into practice during your warm-ups. I am marking this submission complete.

Next Steps:

Good work and good luck on the 250 box challenge!

It's recommended to use exercises learned in lesson 1 as warm-ups for the 250 box challenge and lesson 2.

To add to this:

The ellipses look like they have way more than 3 rotations on them, you should aim to do only 2-3 rotations.

The plotted perspective has a lot of external edges/lines that are slanted, give yourself more time to align the ruler.

The rough perspective and rotated boxes have repeated lines, the ghosting method is there to let you practice the line and your execution should be the final step, this is mainly to develop confidence, redrawing lines basically throws away much of that work as you no longer have that one final stroke you worked up to, let bad lines stay as if you executed them perfectly, and move onto others.

Also on rotated boxes you didn't draw the vertical&horizontal axis lines, it's important to follow the instructions regardless of how tedious it is.

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.

With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

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.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
