Hey PhallicLobotomy (great name lol),
Thanks for taking the time to write that up, it was very helpful and ill try applying those tips next time. Uncomfortable says not to grind the exercises and move on but Im still a little unsure when I finish a lesson, if I have to redo the exercises that need it after receiving advice from the community, or just apply the things I learn to future exercises? Also I noticed at the bottom of the page it says " This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete. In order for the student to receive their completion badge, this critique will need 2 agreements from other members of the community.".. so to move on, I need another critique? Im trying to do this all correctly and not half ass it.
I will try your advice for the faster mark making, I think Ive gotten the pivot motion of the shoulder mostly down (I hope) but I still have trouble with the placement of my hand and how it should rest/be supported while the pen hovers over the page. I use my pinky knuckle as a sort of anchor rest that softly glides over the page if that makes sense, but unsure if thats even the correct way, or if my whole arm should be hovering with no support.
Yeah, I see that too since you pointed out the rough perspective improvement, a few times I forgot to ghost to the vp so that helped alot with accuracy, I was confused with the Organic perspective exercise and was thinking it only had 2 vp, not a 3rd in the sky lol. It still gave me a mind fuck trying to invision the boxes rotated, so thats helpful to know about the Y generator thing.
Thanks again, will try your tips
