Took me 3 weeks, I did not grind, but I took my time to make the lessons only when I feel focus enough.

Hi Edwintalks!

Congrats for finishing lesson 1! You did it :)

Here are some points worth noting:

  1. Superimposed Lines: Fraying only happens on one end, nice effort you made!

  2. Ghosted Lines: Progress is significantly seen compared to your Superimposed Homework, very good job! A bit of arcing here and there, but it's fine.

  3. Ghosted Planes: Well done! Lines are accurate enough and progress is definitely made! You did overshoot on some boxes though, but neat and good work!

  4. Ghosted Ellipses: Confident and 3-4 times redrawn ellipses, nicely done! Ellipses still have a lot of overshoots, however, good job!

  5. Tables of Ellipses: Accuracy increases while keeping the lines confident, great!

  6. Funnels: Ellipses follow the direction of minor axis, well done! Accuracy increases nicely, although I would recommend you to gradually increase the degree of the ellipses as they are moving towards out of the funnel

  7. Plotted Perspective: Nothing much to say, solid work!

  8. Rough Perspective: Note that we're actually making boxes in 1PP for this exercise, thus take your time in predicting where we want to place our dots! The X and Y axis in this exercise is always parallel and perpendicular to the horizon line consecutively.

  9. Rotated Boxes: Well done in executing this exercise! You finished it pretty solid!

  10. Organic Perspective: Progress is clearly shown throughout this exercise, although I do notice that you do a little undershoot lines, but overall greatly done!

Cheers!

Next Steps:

Continue in doing especially Superimposed Lines as a part of your warm up, and proceed to 250 Box Challenge! Good luck! :)

Thanks for the Critique ^^

I think I will continue working on my ghosting lines and superimposed lines as a warm up,

but I am realy glad that my work isnt that bad and I am kinda hyped up now, so thanks for that.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
