Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
9:22 PM, Thursday December 26th 2024
Hi, I have submitted the homework for lesson 1. I would gladly appreciate feedback and thanks in advance.
Hi there, my name is it0 and I'll try to give you some feedback. Overall I've to say you've done a very good job, so congratulations on your work.
Your superimposed lines exercise looks very good, there's some fraying at the end of the line going on. Also at some points you can see that you try to correct the trajectory of your lines and therefore there's a bit of woobling but overall your line looks confident so practicing over and over as part of your warm-up exercises will improve your results with time.
On the ghosted lines I can see confident lines, smooth and consistent with no arcs. In most of them it misses the mark at least on the end point, so there's still improvement to move from level to and reach level three. Make sure you ghost the line from the beginning until the end and stop exactly where you want it to finish. Once you've ghosted it several times, draw it with confidence in a single stroke. This can also be seen on your ghosted planes exercise where the lines are confident and smooth but you can see some lines overshooting the end point.
For the ellipses tables there's room for improvement since you can see that usually your first pass differs from the second, again take your time to ghost the ellipse and place with a confident stroke. Practice this exercise to develop the muscle memory for further exercises in the upcoming lessons. This can also be seen on your ellipses funnel are well done. But overall both exercises are well done, your lines are confident which makes your ellipses smooth and consistent. Repeat this exercise over and over to develop your muscle memory to connect those two passes.
For the ellipses funnel the only recommendation I would suggest is to increase the degree of your ellipses as they move far from the center. There's some of it going on the exercise, but I would suggest for you to exaggerate it, specially on the edges ellipses. You can see an example of this exaggeration here.
Entering the boxes realm, I've nothing to say on the first exercise, your verticals are vertical and you're correctly moving your horizontal lines to the vanishing points. Thanks for shadowing the faces and impossing the edge of the box (I would suggest to imposed those lines without using a ruler, but you'll do this on the box challenge multiple times).
On the rough perspective your horizontals and verticals are not that confident and straight. Remember that your verticals should be perpendicular to the horizon line, and your horizontals should be parallel. As in the previous exercises, remember to ghost those lines before commiting them into the paper, use your whole arm to draw them instead of using only your wrist. When drawing boxes it's important to start and finish the line at the points you marked on the paper. You're doing a great job extending the lines to the vanishing point. As you can see some of those estimations were quite off, but again, there's a challenge in front of you that will help you on this.
Your rotated boxes perspective has come out pretty well. You've followed the exercise basis by establishing the vertical and horizontal axis, the spaces between your boxes are spaced consistently which can be seen with the hatched planes. Your boxes are rotating since you're moving your vp's accordingly and as far as I can see, all the boxes have been drawn, including the corners ones. Moving into the upcoming lessons your spatial thinking will improve, so it's a good idea at some point in the future, coming back to repeat this exercise and see how much have you improved over time and practice.
And last, your organic perspective exercise. I loved it. Just, as in the previous exercise make sure you spend time and effort on improving your ghosting lines, push on hitting those spots that you mark on the paper. During the 250 box challenge you'll have enough time to think on how lines converge and how to avoid divergence when drawing boxes.
Overall, as I said, this's a solid submission and you've demonstrated that you understand the concepts explained on this lesson. I'll mark it as completed and good luck with the 250 box challenge. Have a lot of fun!!!
Next Steps:
Move into 250 Box Challenge
Thank you for the critique. I definitely noticed my struggle on the rough perspective exercise, it shows on my lines the lack of confidence when drawing the initial boxes.
Alright, I wil continue to the 250 box challenge.
Hello, fellow student is here, checking on your homework.
Superimposed line, I see arc and wobble. But as you continue to the next task, your lines improved.
Ghosted line, lines are straight, few wobble. The lines ended so close to your mark, so pretty accurate.
Ghosted plane, same as ghosted line, lines are straight, few wobble. The lines ended so close to your mark.
Table of ellipse, well done, you did two full ellipses as instructed. Few wobble, but overall you executed the ellipses confidently.
Ellipses in plane, well done, the ellipses are done smoothly and accurately fit the plane.
Funnels, ellipses drawan smoothly, some are not divided equally by the axis and I see few tilted. Some axis arent perpendicular.
Plotted perspective, you understand the concept well. Few vertical line are not perpendicular to horizontal line, but overall you've done well.
Rough perspective, you understand the concept. Well done.
Rotated box, I can see the boxes rotate. Well done. The gaps between boxes pretty consistent.
Organic perspective, you understand the concept.
Overall well done and goodluck with the next challenge.
Marco Bucci's got a ton of great courses available on proko.com, including some of the best videos you can find on using colour and light. Since a lot of our students want to break into working with digital painting however, I thought this course in particular would be a great start to get into the weeds with how to navigate the confusing world of layers, brushes, and more.
This course highlights programs across the full spectrum of options, ranging from the current industry standard Adobe Photoshop, to the Free-and-Open-Source darling Krita, as well as the mobile favourite, Procreate.
