Heya! Congratulation for completing the first lesson.
What pen did you use for doing this first lesson? Though ballpoint is allowed in this lesson, felt-liner or drawing pen is very recommended. Your lines sometimes look too bold and in the other time look too thin. Or it's just the camera or the light when you take the photo?
Well, let's talk how you're doing the homework:
First, the lines. You're good already for placing the starting point of Superimposed Lines. You only need to fix the arching lines. Remember to use (mostly) on your shoulder pivot, instead elbow pivot (or the worst, wrist pivot). In Ghosted Lines, your lines less arching and a bit wobbly. Then, your Ghosted Planes is good. The 2 problems that I mentioned before slightly seen, and it's good!
Second, the ellipses, the hardest part of this lesson. Indeed, you need many improvement in this section. Most of your lines aren't drawn confidently nor prioritizing confidence and smoothness. Some of the ellipses in Ellipse in Plane are only drawn once, not 2 to 3 times. In this exercise too, you seems drawn aimed for accuracy. It seen from the deformed ellipses. For Funnels exercise, I think you have a good job to put the ellipses in minor axis (middle line), despite its uneven shape. Don't rush and take your time for doing ghosting method!
Last, the boxes. I think you doesn't have any issue on Plotted Perspective, meanwhile in Rough Perspective I just want to remind you that in one point of VP drawn, width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon.. Then, though there some part of Rotated Boxes and Organic Perspective that you could improve, we can left as it before. You can do this exercise in other time for recall what you learn. Just remember that closer object always look big for viewer and further object will look small for viewer.
Anyway, you'll learn perspective and box by doing next challenge, so don't worry....
Any questions?
Next Steps:
I think, you only need to improve your ellipses, so here my suggestions:
1.Draw planes on a piece of paper and put ellipse on them (Ellipse in Plane) as warm up. Don't be afraid to vary the shape of the plane
2.Redoing your Table of Ellipses homework (2 pages)
Just attach the revision link on the reply ;)
