Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
6:50 PM, Monday October 19th 2020
What needs improvement? Do I move on? Any critique or advice would be much appreciated.
Hi !
Your lines exercises are very well done. Nothing to comment on those.
Your elipses also look good, maybe try ghosting a little more before drawing them to get a more consistent second pass through each one.
Your rough perspective exercises seem a little rushed, you are not getting strong lines like before. Remember to take your time with each line, ghosting and drawing it strongly and confidenlty. The rest of the boxes exercises are well done, nice job.
I think you are ready to continue to the 250 boxes challenge, but remember to take your time on each line !
A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.
Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
