Hi Dotky!
First of all, congratulations for finishing lesson 1! You made it.
Here are some points worth noting:
Superimposed Lines: Good work! Fraying happens only on one end, great confidence and accuracy (which is an excellent bonus).
Ghosted Lines: Confident and nice lines. You tend to overshoot lines here, however, it's totally normal.
Ghosted Planes: Really solid work! Great confident and accurate lines, incredibly done.
Ghosted Ellipses: Nice work. Confident and averagely snuggly put ellipses, although I can see some overshoot ellipses. That aside, good job.
Table of Ellipses: Well done. Ellipses are tightly placed next to each other, decreasing overshoot issues as well. Great progress.
Funnels: Neat and solid work, tightly placed ellipses and they direct according to their minor axis. However, I would suggest you trying to increase their degree (width of the ellipse). As they move further to the outer side of the funnel, the ellipses should be more and more circular.
Plotted Perspective: Nothing much to say, neat work.
Rough Perspective: Well done! I can definitely see your effort in making the X and Y axis of the box parallel and perpendicular to the horixon line consecutively, and progress is clearly and significantly made throughout the exercise.
Rotated Boxes: It's a tough exercise, and you finished it! Even so, I'd like to point out that it seems that you forgot to add the back side of some boxes, specifically on the top 2 boxes on diagonal right (quadrant 1), and other boxes on each diagonal top of each quadrant.
Organic Perspective: Again, it's a hard exercise but you managed it well. Although the boxes's sizes are kind of confusing at the first frame of the first page, overall you did a nice work!
Cheers!
Next Steps:
Proceed onto 250 Box Challenge, best of luck!
Hi Bolakecil !
Thanks for the incredible reply.
I will pay attention to these points, mainly the degree of ellipses.
Thank you very much!
Glad to hear so, good luck!
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
