Hi! I'll be critiquing you're lesson 1 today

Lines

Superimposed lines

Great job with this exercise! There's not that much fraying on the lines, except for the longer lines. You need to work more on the longer lines, there's a lot more fraying compared to the shorter lines, but that's about it for this exercise. Remember to ghost the lines before placing them!

Ghosted Lines

I do see a bit of wobbling and arching, but that's fine. With practice, your lines should get more smooth and confident.

Ghosted Planes

There is a slight wobble to some of the planes but overall it looks fine

Ellipses

Tables of Ellipses

Some of the Ellipses are kind of going into each other, and e are a few that are going out of the boundary/rectangle,and there are spots where you could put extra Ellipses too. I feel like the Ellipses could be a bit smoother with a little bit more ghosting. Other than that nice job

Ellipses in Planes

Nice job with this one, a majority of the ellipses are touching all the sides of the planes, but the Ellipses could be more smoother.

Funnels

For the Funnels, Good job with that one. A majority of them seem aligned, and again the Ellipses should be a bit more smooth with a bit more ghosting.

Boxes

Plotted Perspective

Plotted Perspective looks fine

Rough Perspective

When doing this exercise the back shape of the box should be around the same as the front like this https://imgur.com/a/U6KBuu3, while still going towards the Vanishing Point, and remember "width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon", which you did pretty well on,but some of the lines have a little wobble.

Rotated Boxes

The outside boxes for the Horizontal and Vertical rotations are really off. It shouldn't be extending out that much. Think of it as the center box rotating up/down, instead of thinking of it as an entirely new box. something like this https://imgur.com/a/XP8WIb3.

Organic Perspective

Nice job with this one. The boxes are rotating enough.

Great job with Lesson 1. The random doodles and font were pretty cool love the creativity. Other than that I'll have you revise a few of the exercises and after that you should be able to move onto the 250 box challenge

Next Steps:

  • Half a page of "Rough Perspective"

  • Full page of "Rotated boxes"

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Thanks for the critique! Yeah, I realized that the rotated boxes was pretty off, but I was already committed haha. I'll redo those ones with your suggestions!

Btw, they don't really need to redo the rotated boxes. It's not really advisable (correct me if I'm wrong). Also, their rotated boxes is looking good for their first try. Of course there are still mistakes in the perspective of their boxes, but this will be work on during the 250 box challenge.

Also, in the rotated boxes section of the lesson 1, Uncomfortable says "All I ask is that you complete the exercise - not perfectly, not even well. Just finish it to the best of your current ability. I ask for nothing more than that."

Oh, my bad. Kind of critiqued this late at night, so I didn't really go back to check much on the lesson notes. Sorry if I made them do extra work

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

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.
