Hi there,
Just one thing that I would like to point out, I bought fine pens from fabercastell and found out that they suck.
Where I live fine pens are very expensive, so I will keep using the ones that I got until they go out of ink.
Thanks in advance.
Hello!
Gongratulations on finishing your first lesson!
Now to the critique!
Lines: Your lines overall seem to be well done: they are mostly smooth, straight and generally accurate. Little things I would point out is that on some lines they seem to bend at the end little so remember to ghost your lines enough times and once executing them focus on keeping the line straight until the end. You do seem to overshoot your lines a little as well which can be fixed with lifting your pen at the other end where you want the line to end.
(In the superimposed lines your lines arched a little so remember to draw confidently and using your shoulder, however later your lines arch only in very few instances in the rough perspective so it's not a problem. )
Ellipses: Your ellipses look good: they are mostly evenly shaped and most importantly smooth. Your accuracy is little off with some ellipses: in the ellipses in planes exercise some ellipses don't touch all the sides of the planes or go over them. This is completely normal however as your accuracy gets better overtime with practice.
Boxes: Your perspective is off on your boxes with the exception of plotted perspective exercise. This is expected however as you will be practicing eyeballing the perspective in the 250 box challenge and the main point was to just understand the concepts that the exercises in this section are based off of, which you seem to have done. In the rough perspective exercise in a few of the boxes the initial 'Y' you use to construct your boxes seems to be little under 90 degrees. This will lead to distortion so it is good to keep in mind when doing boxes.
Overall all of the exercises were done well and as instructed. You seem to have understood all the concepts taught in this lesson and you are free to move on to the 250 box challenge.
Good job! :)
Next Steps:
Start the 250 box challenge.
Thank you so much for your attention and critique.
I will take account of everything you said when I do the warm ups and next lessons.
You are welcome :)
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.
