Hello there!

I just recently finished whit all the homework available on lesson 1, it took me half a month to do it but, here i am!

I did everything on a 297x210 mm A4 paper and a STABILO point 8 Fine 0,4.

My phone camera is kinda bad but i think the photos look good, if you have a hard time seeing the drawings , i will do my best to take better photos.

I hope i didn't make to many mistakes hehe its kinda had trying to improve and those perspective exercises were hard to undersand and pull off but i did it.

Greetings from Uruguay! (Spanish if my first language, sorry if i misspelled something).

Hello I’ll be handling the critique for your lesson 1 homework

Lines

-Starting with the superimposed lines exercise you are doing a great job, always starting at a clearly defined point and keeping all of the wavering on one side, your lines have significant fraying but don’t worry as this is something that tends to disappear with practice.

-Moving on to the ghosted lines, here you have kept the confident line work even if you are going to miss the ending dot which is good. I can notice some instances where your lines make a slight arch, so make sure you are engaging your shoulder with a locked wrist.

-The ghosted planes are no different from the ghosted lines, there is nothing to comment here aside from the issues already raised.

Ellipses

-Starting with the tables of ellipses, I can see that there are some instances where you did not draw through them, do not forget to do this for all the ellipses that you will draw for your drawabox homework. Keep in mind that you have to draw through them 2-3 times only. Also keep working on the spacing and aim to have the ellipses fitting snugly within the rectangle.

-Your ellipses in tables are turning out well, but keep working on making symmetrical and evenly shaped ellipses Do not worry too much about having your ellipses touch the four sides of the plane as it can make your ellipses look distorted and wobbly.Ellipses have to be symmetrical and have the same shape regardless of where they are, so the only things you can change is how wide the ellipse is and which position it is in.

-The ellipses on your funnels are looking stiffer than on the previous exercises, so try to loosen up and draw them a bit faster so they end up fully confident, another thing that I’m seeing here is that you are drawing through your ellipses more times than needed, so as mentioned before, draw through them only 2-3 times. Keep working on the alignment and remember that the minor axis should cut your ellipses into equal halves.

Boxes

-Starting with the rough perspective, try to keep the linework confident. I can see some instances where your lines wobble, keep in mind that you should prioritize confidence over accuracy, aim to draw straight lines even if you are going to overshoot. This will help you to better align the sides of the boxes, remember that the horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon and the vertical ones should be perpendicular

-There are a number of things to improve on the rotated boxes. First avoid any scratchy linework and ensure you are using the ghosting method to draw each mark to the best of your ability. Secondly, keep the gaps between boxes narrow and consistent, this will help you to have each quadrant equally sized. And don’t forget to draw through all of your boxes. This is just an exercise in spatial reasoning and doing this will help you to improve faster.

-Lastly on organic perspective you've actually done a good attempt overall apart from the line issues. The perspective on the boxes does have issues, but that's not a problem as you'll work on it through the box challenge.

Next Steps:

I'll let you move on to the box challenge, but keep working on the things I mentioned here, Good luck

Thanks for answering!

Its a very spot on review and it helps a lot. I could catch some of those errors so i practice a little whit the perspective and boxes in general. Also yeah, trying to lock the wrist is very hard, but ill do my best.

Well time to start whit those 250 boxes.

Again, thanks for reviewing my work, it was very helpful!

Clip Studio Paint

I've used a ton of different drawing and painting software over the course of my career, so I can say with confidence that what CSP offers is impressive.

The software is designed around drawing and painting, and it really shows. The brush engine is extremely dynamic, capturing a wide variety of stroke types and effects, making it easy to emulate traditional media if that's what you're after, while still being able to create very polished digital-style graphics.

It also provides a variety of features to make your life easier on a wide variety of projects - from speech bubble and framing tools for comics, to perspective and ellipse guides, to bringing in 3D assets to streamline the production process, to multi-page files, and more. At every turn, it puts the control in your hands, so you can focus on what it is you want to create.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
