Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
4:39 PM, Thursday February 25th 2021
Hello! My name is Éric. I hope you're doing well!
I am totally new to drawing. I would like to learn how to draw and become decent at it over the next few years. I'm ready to put the effort in order to do so.
I recently found out about Draw a box, and learning the fundamentals of drawing is exactly what I wanted. The videos and lessons are well done, and I really appreciate Uncomfortable for building them and offering a critique system in order for the students to learn better and faster.
Some of the homework I am posting here seem very badly done to me now that I have tackled the 250-box challenge (for example the rough perspective ones look terrible to me now), but I haven't started them over because it was said to only do the exercises once... plus I really want to move on to curvy lines now that I am drawing so many boxes!
Also, I am a bit confused with the rotated boxes homework. I understand how the vanishing points move along the horizontal and vertical axis when the centred boxes rotate left or right, but I am unsure about how the vanishing points move when the boxes from the upper or lower rows rotate (the boxes which are in diagonal from the centre point). Any help in that regard would be super helpful.
Thank you very much!
Éric
