Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
9:42 AM, Saturday May 21st 2022
Heya lovely people! Just finished the first lesson of drawabox and I'm posting here to get your guys' critiques, if you got the time! Have a beautiful day!
Hello, nice day to you too!
Good job on completing Lesson #1.
I will take care to correct it and highlight if there are any errors.
Lines:
Your lines don't look bowed either, it's adequate anyway.
You are dotting the beginning and end of your lines, don't stop doing that as it is very useful especially in the ghosting method.
The ghosted plans look great, both because you are planning all your lines correctly, and because your ellipses are well drawn.
Ellipses:
Keep drawing your ellipses 2 times, this improves accuracy in all lessons.
All well in your ellipse tables, perfect in that they do not cross each other, nor go off the edges of the table.
In your funnels there is no error. Your ellipses are aligning to the minor axis (the line in the middle) as expected.
Boxes:
And you're right to keep drawing through your boxes.
It's not the idea that they arrive perfectly, but you can see the effort which is the important thing.
Had you kept the spaces between the boxes a little smaller, it would have been m much better.
Conclusion:
No major errors ; you can see that you understood the general concepts of the exercises.
I will mark your lesson as completed. And good luck in what follows!
Awesome man, thanks so much! Good luck in your drawing journey as well, hope you are doing all well! :D
You're welcome, thank you and I hope you'll be great in the next lessons too! ^ ^
Surely hope so! I just started the 250 box challange stuff, knew that those years playing Minecraft weren't wasted, even tho my parents wouldnt agree... I am VERY exited for the other lessons, I am currently at the SECOND box (I know, such progress), hope we'll meet again so you can give me a passing grade ;)
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
