Hello! First of all, thank you for taking your time to rate my work. It means a lot to me :)

I re-did the ellipses exercise while trying to focus more on the flow of the ellipse rather than trying to fit into the boxes like you told me. And I feel like they look more like they should though I lost a little bit on the precision on the tracing (the lines are not really close to each other for the same ellipse). But I feel like it's something I've to work on in the long run.

And yeah, the organic perspective is not a concept that easy to understand. I think I got the concept but applying it is another thing. Well, I tried anyway ^^

I did 1 page for the exercises you told me to focus on. Could you tell me if it's better and if I have to do more?

Thanks again!

Hi, sorry for taking so long to reply.

Yeah your ellipses are definitely looking a lot better (seriously the difference is night and day), and though precision is really important I believe it's better to have good flow from the outset and then work on precision rather than the other way around.

Yeah the organic perspective boxes are pretty difficult, but just make sure you understand the concepts and rules of perspective as you can check your work and see where you went wrong, I recommend doing the 250 box challenge if you haven't yet, as he outlines what you need to be looking out for as well as giving you a good amount of guided mileage.

I hope this is still relevant to you. Have a good one ????

No worries! Thank you for your input :)

I'm currently working on the 250 boxes challenge so I hope I will have a better understanding of the organic perspective after finishing it ;)

Have a nice day!

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
