Hey Beckerito!

Thank you for another of your very helpful critiques! I learned a lot reading it and will try my best to successfully integrate it into the next lesson. I'll also definitely try doing the lobster and shrimp demos before heading onto lesson 5, thanks for the tip (:

As for the revision, here is the link: https://imgur.com/a/pxYI1Vo

I tried very hard to keep the ends of the sausages the same size. Sometimes that worked better than other times. I also tried using less contour curves and using the more meaningfully, that also worked better some times than other times ^^

Okay, you are doing much better here, there's is one issue I am noticing and it is that your contour curves seem to be shrinking in degree as they move away from the viewer rather than shifting wider, which is incorrect, keep in mind that the ellipse that you place at the front is where the sausage is closest to the viewer then as the contours move away they should become wider, I do like to see that you have tried some other configurations but I will still link you to this diagram https://imgur.io/CfKiLtt which may help to clear this point.

Okayyy so I already marked this lesson as complete, good luck on the next lesson

Oh, yeah, you are right! I think my thought processes was like "There's a circle at the front, so after that it has to be a slight circle and not a full one and so on". But looking at the picture again and thinking more about it, I know understand why my thought-process was wrong and the picture is right. (Figuring that out felt like a revelation :D)

Thank you for poiting that out! And thanks again for your detailed and helpful critique! (:

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.

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff is a ubiquitous name in art instruction - not just through his work on the Draftsmen podcast and his other collaborations with Proko, but in his own right. He's been teaching anatomy, gesture, and perspective for decades, and a number of my own friends have taken his classes at the Laguna College of Art and Design (back around 2010), and had only good things to say about him. Not just as an instructor, but as a wonderful person as well.

Many of you will be familiar with his extremely cheap 1994 Perspective Drawing lectures, but here he kicks it up to a whole new level.
