I have dysgraphia and gusting is a nightmare for me. After doing the same exact movement for a few time my hand starts to shake and my exercises get worst the more I do them in the same session. I gave up on warm-ups (I just do warm-up sessions separately). If anyone has any tips for this issue specifically it would mean a lot.
This looks good to me. The only part I think you could work on is the Organic Perspective and having the boxes rotate around. It looks alot like the same box not different boxes. Wish I had a magic bullet for your dysgraphia but keep at it looking good.
Hey so I don't know too much about dysgraphia so forgive me if this isn't relevant but this article might be worth a read http://medind.nic.in/ibv/t11/i11/ibvt11i11p912.pdf It's totally okay to do sessions in short bursts so you can stay accurate and build muscle memory.
On your Super imposed lines Theres fraying on both ends, it's important to "position your pen correctly at the starting point of your guideline" so you build a habit of thinking before you make a line.
On your Funnels It's important to make sure the centerline is cutting the ellipses in half equally so we can get used to aligning our ellipses to the central minor axis line.
It looks like you understood the point of the lessons so It's a pass from me.
As your next step I suggest you apply the tips above when your doing your warmup exercises. Work in short bursts so you can build accurate muscle memory. Maybe look into "essential tremors" and see if that sounds like your problem. It'd be good to start on the 250 box challenge and just space it out over along time. Good luck and good work!
Thanks for the advice, I will take that to account for the next exercises :)
I tried to open the link but it didn't work, could you please give me the name of the article, I really appreciate the idea and I think it would be helpful
Thanks anyway for sending me in this direction
Hi!
I know its been a couple months since you have submitted but I hope I can help!
So to immediately address the question of ghosting, on your ghosting lines they look really good, only a slight arch but I think when you get use to using shoulder more it that will improve. As far as issues with ghosting and the more you repeat the shaky your hand gets, with ghosting you the goal isn't to make a bunch of the same motion but to built up rhythm and muscle memory enough to draw your line. Ghosting too many times is something that can mess anyone up. So when you practice, try to find a sweet spot before the shaking comes in. It might time some time, but with practice you should find it. Also its ok to take your time with the exercises. If you find you are hitting your limit, stop working on the exercises and start doodling or drawing what you normally like to draw. As you train more your endurance should improve. While I don't have dysgraphia, I have an injured shoulder and some points I will stop because I hit my limits with my shoulder. So don't feel bad if it takes you a while to get through the work, especially in the future with the 250 box challenge.
With your super imposed lines, you have fraying on both ends. Make sure you take time to line up that up. And on the ghosting planes, you are missing two lines going horizontal and veritical through the center. Also you didn't include an ellipse in them.
Everything else looks fine. Your lines are a bit shaky (but definitely not terrible!) but I think that is connect to the issues you brough up and I think that will improve with time.
Next Steps:
Please review and redo:
one page of super imposed lines taking time to line up the start point
the ghosting planes exercise
When you redo the ghosting planes exercise, please do the ellipses in planes exercise https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/ellipsesinplanes
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.
