Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
3:27 PM, Tuesday October 17th 2023
I scanned these by my phone so if the quality is bad, i am willing to retake the pictures if necessary.
Thank you and have a nice day!
Hi! You did a great job
Lines:
• Some of your lines are arcing. Try to be more confident and don't forget to draw from the shoulder.
• You have arcs with lines fraying on both ends. Take the time to position your pen.
Everything else is good!
Ellipses:
• Remember that your ellipses should touch all 4 sides of planes. Practice more.
Everything else is good!
Boxes
• In Rough Perspective exercise remember that
All horizontal lines run perfectly parallel to the horizon
All vertical lines run perfectly perpendicular to the horizon
• In Rotated Boxes exercise some of the boxes are not rotated properly (those at the top, left and bottom), their sides should not be parallel.
You need to continue on practicing perspective. I can see how you improve!
Next Steps:
Your next step is 250 box challenge
Thanks for the critique! I will try my best with the 250 box challenge next.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
