Hey there! Congrats on finishing lesson 1.

Lines

Your superimposed lines look great! Very confident strokes and only fraying at the end, which is what you want to see with lesson 1. The ghosted lines are overall pretty good as well–one tiny thing is that some of your lines appear a little wobbly/curved at the beginning or end, which may be because you're using your wrist instead of your shoulder pivot. If that's the case, remember to use your shoulder. If it's just a fluke, don't worry about it.

Ellipses

Your ellipses look really great! Strong, confident strokes. The only note I have is that the minor axis does not cut symmetrically for a couple of them, but it's not a big deal at all.

Boxes

Your box lines on rough perspective are a little wobbly--warming up with ghosting/superimposed lines will help make those lines more confident. Remember, confidence over accuracy right now. Organic perspective boxes are great and so are your rotated boxes.

Overall, very good work! I'm happy to mark this as complete.

Next Steps:

Move on to the 250 box challenge.

Pay it forward and critique other students' work.

Hey, thanks for you review!

I'm struggling with those wobbling lines, but I'm trying to solve this with more warm up and experimenting with different angles, grips and velocities when making the marks.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

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.
