Lesson 3: Applying Construction to Plants
10:09 PM, Wednesday November 23rd 2022
Hello!
A question about the hibiscus (page 7). I drew an ellipse as "target" for my petals first, and then did the basic construction. I then added some more bits to the petals. But that made it go beyond the original ellipse. My question is, is this the way I should be doing it? Or should I make the initial basic petals a bit shorter so I can extend them afterwards with the extra bits? Or should I work subtractively instead of additively?
Also a question about some of the long lines that run the length of the cactus. I'm assuming I should try to get them the way I want in a single stroke? I'm very inaccurate with that but I will keep trying if that's what's intended.
Lastly, just a note about the arrows. These ones don't make wider curves as they get closer. In other warmup arrow pages I have started paying much more attention to this, but it doesn't show here.
Thank you.
