Hello!

Congrats on finishing Lesson 1! I’ll be reviewing your submission and hopefully find my feedback helpful.

Superimposed Lines

• On the 1st page, your lines are wobbling a bit so be sure to draw from your shoulder with confidence.

• On the 2nd page, your lines have improved. You executed your lines with more confidence and less wobbling/curving.

• You can add this to your warmup to improve accuracy.

Ghosted Lines

• Most of your ghosted lines are straight and executed with confidence.

• Some of them curve a bit but it will get better the more you draw. What matters right now is you drew them with confidence and from your shoulder.

Ghosted Planes

• Most of your lines are straight and executed with confidence.

• Some of your lines curved a bit, so be patient in ghosting your lines and always draw from your shoulder.

• Adding this to your warmups will improve accuracy.

Tables of Ellipse

• You kept the ellipses snugly next to each other, drew through them 2-3 times, and even vary them in degree, sizes, and orientation. I can see that you also prioritized drawing smooth and confident ellipses. Good job.

• On your 2nd page, some ellipses have some spaces left in between them, so keep them snugly but overall, you did well with the exercise.

• You can also add this to your warmups to improve.

Ellipses in Planes

• Your ellipses are smooth and executed with confidence. Well done.

• Your ellipses are usually touching the borders. However, some of your ellipses are not quite touching the borders from the right places which caused them to look diagonal in the plane. I drew on top of your drawing to show where the ellipse touch to make even ellipses. https://imgur.com/a/OcG4Ptb

• I also noticed you drew through some of your ellipses more than 3 times. It is preferred to only draw through the ellipses 2-3 times and no more than that.

• You can add this to your warmup to improve accuracy.

Funnels

• Your ellipses are nicely aligned to the minor axis and cut the ellipse in 2 symmetrical halves. You also varied their degree and keep most ellipses within the funnel. Good job.

• You can add this to your warmups to improve accuracy since this exercise will be important for future lessons and it will be good practice with your ellipses.

Plotted Perspective

• The boxes have no distortions and it looked like you understand the concept of vanishing points and horizon lines. Good job.

Rough Perspective

• You used one point perspective and your depth lines (those that are meant to converge towards the vanishing point) were converging with the horizon line. Good job.

• I noticed that your lines are a bit wobbly and corrected some of your lines. Take your time with the ghosting method and always remember to not repeat your lines no matter how off it is, just keep it and move on.

Rotated Boxes

• Your boxes’ corners are close to one another, you drew through the boxes, and they actually rotated. Well done.

Organic Perspective

• Your boxes are freely rotated in space and gets smaller the further away it gets. You did a good job.

Some Reminders:

• Keep in mind that confidence takes precedence over accuracy.

• Be patient with the exercises. You will learn much more if you take your time with the exercises.

• Don’t correct incorrect lines. If you draw an incorrect line, don't draw another line on top of it; instead, keep the line and move on.

• Remember the 50 percent rule. Make something for yourself as well, because this course will take a long time and you may burn out or lose motivation as a result.

Hi!

Your lines look very confident! You have performed the rotated boxes exercise well, you have thought carefully about where and how the boxes should be drawn. Keep up the good work! Try not to use sketchbook paper in the following lessons, fineliners are not made for this and can damage them.
