Hey there! I'm going to give a short critique on the homework you did
-
. You did a good job on this one! As you're doing confident lines here, you're Fraying at one end but thats perfectly normal and with time your lines will become tighter,
-
Ghosted Lines. I see a bit of a problem here,some lines did fine, but i see that the rest of the lines don't start at where they should and a bit of Wobbling Which generally that's due to hesitance and Remember, prioritize confidence over accuracy, take your time and ghost your lines carefully.
-
Elispses. A good job too on those ellipses!, as they are pretty tight and you're drawing through too, Table of ellipses, also a good job fitting the ellipses in the planes, and the funnels the ellipses are alligned too.
-
Plotted perspective: Good job overall but we can see the problem i pointed out on your lines here too, Also a you didn't make the Correction step on the second page
-
Rotated boxes: Congrats for doing this exercise as this is pretty hard to do, you did the exercise right as you rotated the boxes right.
-
Organic perspective: First a pointer, don't correct your lines . You did a ok job overall, but yet again the problem with your lines can be seen here.
Overall you did show confidence in your lines on the Super Imposed Lines, but on the rest of the homework there's a bit of wobbling and arching and you've been missing the dot quite a lot at the start of the lines. so i would like you to do a ghosted planes exercise.
Next Steps:
1 Page of ghosted planes, but remember, take your time to ghost your lines and try to make your lines confident.

Hey man,
First of all thank you so much for taking the time to critique work! I definitely agree, my lines suffer from wobbling and arching. Attached is my ghosted planes exercise, I'm still struggling a little bit but hopefully it better through repetition? I'll definitely keep the ghosted planes exercise in my warm up rotation. Let me know your thoughts.

The lines look more confident, theres still arching present but i see more care put in the lines, since i've seen some improvement i'll mark the lesson as complete!
also, you're welcome.
Next Steps:
Next steps: I reccomend you to do the 250 box challenge next, as this will help you with markmaking .

Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
