Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
8:29 AM, Friday October 29th 2021
i just want to know if I can move on to the next lesson
Your work is pretty good your lines are very clean I would however suggest that you work on ellipses just a bit more as some of them seem to taper a bit but overall I feel your ready to move on
Next Steps:
I suggest you try tackling the 250 box challenge in order to gain a better grasp of 3D space and work a bit more on ellipses
I think this is great job on Lesson 1, all lines are clean and confident, and all exersices look very solid.
I do see some pointy ellipses, and you probably need to work on drawing from your shoulder (because pointy ellipse = elbow/wrist). But this can be incorporated in your regular warm-up routine.
I'm sure you should move to 250 box challenge, and good luck!
Hey Fiyole,
Your work is hard to critique as you are clearly more experienced than me. I don't see any obvious mistakes, your lines are very clean and confident. It seems perspective is not an issue for you so I am not sure if the 250 box challenge would benefit you.
Maybe you should move on to lesson 2, your call.
Keep on keepin' on!
Next Steps:
Either do the 250 boxes or start with lesson 2!
A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.
Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
