Hi!
Good job!
**Lines***
Superimposed Lines: Good job on starting your lines directly on the point. The lines also look fairly confident.
Ghosted Lines: Some lines have a wobble or curve to them, especially near the end. This usually happens when we consciously try to get our lines to end on the dot we've drawn. It's natural to do want to do this but remember to prioritise confidence over accuracy as accuracy will come with time and practice. There's not much we can do with wobbly lines.
Ghosted Planes: Same comments as above, although I noticed that some lines are more confident, so good job.
Ellipses
Tables: The ellipses are a bit imprecise. Most seem to be drawn confidently, although some of the narrower ones have a bit of wobble. Try angling the paper so that you draw the ellipse at an angle where you can utilize your shoulder pivot.
Planes: This one is kind of messy. It seems like you struggled a lot to keep the ellipses inside the planes. This is indeed difficult you should practice this when warming up.
Funnels: The ellipses have the same problem as in the planes. They are very imprecise. It also seems that you are not doing very confidently or your are not using properly your shoulder and the you get that wobble kind of ellipses.
Boxes
Plotted Perspective: Completed; no comments here.
Rough Perspective: Some of the horizontal and vertical lines for the boxes farther away from your vanishing point are not parallel with the horizon line or page edge. Don't worry though - you'll work on this in the 250 Box Challenge.
Also the lines wobble a lot. Remember that we are working on confidence over accuracy, while you practice, your line will improve.
The second page seems a bit better than the first one. Great!
Rotated Boxes: This is a tough exercise. But overall you were able to rotate the boxes even if you loses the symmetry of the picture. It is also good that you put some line weight over the front faces, this help to clarify the form of the boxes, but also ocasionally you put to much line weight. I think that one super impose line is enough.
Organic Boxes: I think this exercise show that you have improve over the lesson. It is nice even if your lines wobble a bit.
Next Steps:
I think you did a good job.
250 boxes is your next challenge!
Thank you Sir Yotastrejos!
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
