Hello Nikovertus! It looks like you are missing your Superimposed Lines Homework pages. I will critique the rest of your homework, and you just need to reply with a link to the rest of your work.
Lines
Your lines look smooth and confident. There are times where you sacrifice some of this confidence for accuracy, so just keep in mind that confidence and smoothness should always be prioritized over accuracy.
Ellipses
Again, most of your ellipses look smooth, just remember that making a smooth ellipse should always be a priority. When ghosting an ellipse, remember to keep in mind its width, length, and tilt. Especially in the funnel exercise, you can see how the minor axes of the ellipses, which should line up to the central line that you draw at the start, can sometimes drift and start leaning to the side over time.
Boxes
A few of your boxes end up diverging away from the vanishing point. Keep in mind during the 250 Box Challenge that instead the lines should always converge towards the vanishing point. Don't forget that you can use the ghosting technique to help plan these convergences.
Reminder
Don't forget that grinding isn't something that is encouraged, and instead we should move on to the next exercises. I'm just mentioning this because it looks like you did 4 pages of Rough Perspective rather than the recommended 2 pages and 3 pages of Table of Ellipses instead of 2.
Next Steps:
Please provide your Superimposed Lines Homework. Otherwise, well done!
Hello Ma'am/Sir,
Thank you for your critique. However, I think I still am not ready to take on the 250 box challenge for the lack of skills despite reading and watching through all of the lessons. Can I ask for more tips before I do the boxes? Perhaps I need to reread the whole of Lesson 1. Once again, thank you for your time. Hello Nikovertus. My apologies on a late reply.
One thing you need to look out for in your superimposed lines is at times you don't do a fluid motion and try to correct it midway. When you do these in future warmups, focus on a confident stroke and only then start worrying about accuracy.
I understand that you feel that you're skills aren't to the level that you want them to be, but similar to the message in the grinding article, I will suggest that you accept that your skills aren't perfect for now and move on the the 250 box challenge. The quality will come with time as you continue to work on these exercises in your warmups.
Next Steps:
I'm gonna go ahead and mark this as complete and good luck on the 250 Box Challenge.
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.
