Hi Guys!

Today I finished with lesson 01. I think I can move on to the 250 Box Challenge. But I'll wait for a couple of days, for a critique. One more thing, recently I started working on warm-ups, for now, I'm focusing on confidence and flow. If you critiqued this, thank you for your time! :)

Hi :)

Let's start with lines and ellipses, they're p good, they get a bit wobbly especially ellipses. So don't forget that in these exercises you should be focusing in confidence even if your accuracy gets worse.

Boxes are good too, though you got mistakes on the perspective of the boxes, which is completely normal, and nothing to worry about as you'll practice it on the box challenge.

Congrats finishing first lesson and good luck in 250 box challenge.

Next Steps:

First of all, congratulations on finishing lesson 1! Your next step is the box challenge.

As I marked this as complete, you are now qualified to critique lesson 1 submissions.

-Doing critiques is a way of learning and solidifying concepts. I can atest to that after having done hundreds of critiques. There are a lot of concepts that I did not understand, and thanks to critiquing I started understanding them. Which made me learn a lot more through the course.

-Another thing is that as the number of current submissions is super high, if you critique some critiques, those would be less critiques I'd have to critique before reaching your next submissions, so you'd get your critiques faster. The new system ordering submissions also makes that the more agrees your critiques have the higher you'll be placed in the queue of critiques, which will improve your chances of getting critiques faster as well.

It's totally optional of course, I won't force anyone to give critiques. But me and the other people who are critiquing would be super grateful if you gave it a shot.

Good luck on the box challenge, and keep up the good work!

NOTE: here's a quick guidehttps://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ on critiquing lesson 1 submissions.

There are a few people that feel hesitant to critique because they feel they aren't ready to it so hopefully it'll help you in case you are one of those people.https://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
