Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
3:12 PM, Wednesday June 17th 2020
Finished Lesson 1, any critique would be helpful. Seems my other post only had one image, I hope this one works.
Good work! It appears you understand the concepts of the exercises.
Although your line quality and elipses is rough, this should improve as you continue to practice these excersises as warm ups before you start your future drawing sessions and as you build an understanding of what you are drawing.
You also seem to have an understanding with the rules of perspective as seen with your work on the box exercises (especially the Rotated and Organic box exercises). It isn't perfect, but thats why there is a 250 Box Challenge.
Next Steps:
Now I recommend that you do the 250 Box Challenge to improve their perspective and your line confidence in drawing them.
After you complete that...then move on to Lesson 2.
Before you start your future drawing sessons, try to warm up with:
Ghosted Planes with Elipses inside them
Table of Elipses
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
