Hi SOLEILLEVANT! Thank you so much for the critique.

I redid the exercises you assigned me. I think my arrows turned out a bit better this time around, though it got a little messy with the line weight still. And I wobbled quite a bit on the Organic Forms exercise. Maybe I'm not ghosting enough?

Overall I hope I at least demonstrated an understanding of the exercises. I think I'll do these exercises as my daily warmup until I'm more confident drawing ellipses/contour lines, but what do you think?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Oh right, sorry about that. And thanks again for everything! Take care!

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.

Sketching: The Basics

Sketching: The Basics

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.
