Congratulations on completing Lesson 1! I will be providing critique for your Lines, Ellipses and Boxes today.
Lines
Superimposed Lines: Your lines were a bit wobbly on the first page, but this improved by the second page.
Ghosted Lines: Again, some of the lines are a little wobbly. Remember to make straight, confident marks.
Ghosted Planes: This exercise looks good.
In this section, your line quality seems to have improved, which is good!
Ellipses
Table of Ellipses: This exercise looks good. The ellipses have been placed snugly next to each other.
Ellipses in Planes: A few of the ellipses are floating in the center of the plane without touching the sides, but this issue does not exist on most of the ellipses.
Funnels: This exercise looks good. You have also applied some degree to your ellipses.
You have drawn through all of your ellipses twice in this section, which is correct.
Boxes
Plotted Perspective: In the first and second windows, you have shaded different sides of each box (inconsistent). This step was optional, so you do not need to redo the exercise.
Rough Perspective: On the second page, it appears that some of your width lines are not parallel to the horizon. Remember to take this into account.
Rotated Boxes: This exercise looks good. You have followed the directions correctly.
Organic Perspective: This exercise looks good as well.
Overall, you have done well on this lesson! You are ready to move onto the 250 box challenge.
Next Steps:
Complete the 250 box challenge.
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.
