Hello Pphoeniz, I'll be critiquing your lesson 1 exercise!

Lines

  • Your superimposed lines show an understanding of the lesson material with no fraying on both ends. However, while many of your lines show confidence, I noticed that your longer superimposed lines tend to wobble. You should always prioritise confident lines over accurate lines as you'll get better at them with more practice! https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/5bcda336.jpg

  • Your ghosted lines and ghosted planes are excellent! You clearly took the time to plot out your lines and ghost them with confidence!

Ellispses

  • The ellispses in your ellispse table are clearly drawn with confidence and drawn through at least twice. Your ellispses also adhere to staying within their bounds with very few of them overlapping. The same applies to your ellispses in your ghosted planes, your ellispses adhere to making contact with each side of the plane as much as possible.

  • Your funnels are looking pretty good as well. Your minor axis clearly cuts your ellispses into two equal halves and all your ellispses stay within their bounds as much as possible without being spread far apart.

Boxes

  • On your plotted perspective exercise, you did pretty well! Only nitpick I have is that a couple of your boxes have your back edge not parallel to the other three edges, this is no cause to worry as you'll have plenty of time to practice this via warm-ups and the 250 box challenge!

  • In your rough perspective exercise many of your lines, while confident should always be parallel/perpendicular to the horizon line. Many of your plotted lines from the back of your boxes suffer from this!

  • In your rotated boxes exercise, the corners of your boxes are kept as close as possible! I will say that you should look out for the issue of your boxes not converging toward a vanishing point, while your boxes do converge, you should try to make it more apparent as from a distance, they appear not to! https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/d73eea49.jpg

  • Looking at your organic boxes exercise, you got the gist of the lesson material! Only thing I can say that your boxes in each of your rows appear same-y. However, this isn't a concern as you'll have plenty of time to experiment with dramatic and shallow forshortening of boxes during the 250 box challenge!

Overall, your lesson 1 exercise shows a clear understanding of the lesson material given and through pratice your understanding will only improve from there, great work!

Next Steps:

Move onto the 250 box challenge

Solid submission and solid review but I want to add that your rotated boxes are missing the corner boxes. You should complete the exercise before moving on. Don't worry about ruining the paper, the point of the exercise is to learn not to look pretty.

Next Steps:

Complete the rotated box exercises by adding the missing 4 corner boxes

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Thank you for your comment. I have added the 4 corner boxes. Here's the link to my rotated boxes exercise:

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
