Hello Gamaga, this is my critique of your lesson 1. As I want to be succinct, I'm just going to point out your errors and problems that I noticed.

Tables of ellipses: a few ellipses did not touch each other on the first page.

Ellipses in planes: on the first page you had difficulty drawing ellipses that touched the four sides of the planes, but on the second page, you did better.

Funnels: the minor axes of the ellipses were a little misaligned with the center lines.

Rough perspective: some lines of the boxes are slightly arched. Be careful.

Rotated boxes: Great work. I think it's worth highlighting that the boxes in the four corners were a little out of place.

Overall, I liked what you did. Know that the exercises that weren't mentioned by me were very good. I didn't mention them because I didn't find any relevant or pertinent errors in it (even the exercises that I criticized were good). Do some of these exercises as warm-ups before you start drawing.

I will mark your lesson as complete.

Next Steps:

Your next step is the famous 250 BOX CHALLENGE. Good luck :)

This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.

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.
