Superimposed Lines: Solid. We have two full pages. Be sure to experiment with a greater variety of lines in the future. Add longer straights and "S", and "C" shaped curves.
Ghosted Lines: Solid. We got some waviness to your lines. Be sure to rotate that page and to find the optimal position for your shoulder. Also take special care when setting down your pen. We shoudl never miss our mark when starting our lines.
Ghosted Planes: Good. We have some nice straight lines and every single line has been plotted. I'm noticing some line correcting, be sure to commit to: one line, one stroke. When revisiting these exercises be sure to play with a greater size differential with your planes. Go big, go small, we want to get that shoulder accustomed to draw any length of line.
Table of Ellipses: Solid. We have plenty of Ellipses fitted neatly in their bonds and mostly touching with minimal overlapping. Continue to ghost your Ellipses and focus on getting that even and smooth shape. I feel that too many of your Ellipses are facing straight on. When you revisit the exercise be sure to add more that tilt to the left and right.
Ellipses in Planes: Good. Their a couple of instances when your not drawing through your Ellipses completely. But overall the Ellipses are drawn through, fitted into their plane. As with the previous Ellipse exercise focus on smoothness.
Funnels: Good. The funnels are properly constructed, the ellipses are all touching with minimal overlap and the minor axis cuts many of your Ellipses in half. Make sure you draw through every single ellipse and continue to work on creating that even smooth shape. Remember to keep ghosting and use that shoulder.
Plotted Perspective: Very good. Everything seems in order. Keep in mind when adding line weight we only go over the silhouette with one additional stroke.
Rough Perspective: Solid. The boxes are drawn through, you used a straight edge to create guidelines back towards the V.P and you added hatching to the front face of your boxes, all good stuff. I'm seeing some line correcting which we want to avoid. Take your time when plotting your points and draw those lines with confidence. Keep in mind that every single horizontal line will be parallel to the horizon line and that every single vertical line will be perpendicular to the horizon line. Those sets of lines should never tilt.
Rotated Perspective: Solid. All the boxes have been drawn through and you attempted to draw every box. Again be sure to plot your points and make lines with confidence. No correcting! It's fine to make mistakes. We have a mix of boxes that are and are not rotating. Be sure to re-read the common mistakes portion of the lesson plan (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/rotatedboxes) when you revisit this exercise in the future.
Organic Perspective: Missing?
Next Steps:
Complete Organic Perspective. Keep in mind that, much like the rotated boxes exercise we're not meant to succeed at it on our first attempt. We'll learn more about the "Y" method of constructing boxes and working with 3 point perspective in the 250 box challenge. Just be sure to go back to the basics of: Plotting your points, Rotating your page, Ghosting your strokes, and in one clean motion from your shoulder put down your line.
