Hi there,

Good work on the superimpose lines. There's no fraying on the starting points. This shows you took time to align your pen to the starting point

Ghosted lines are also good but there's some bit of wobbling in some of your lines. Most of them are great.

Ghosted planes are not soo good. Most of them have wobbling. Looks like you rushed a bit on these. I'd advice you to practice them during your warm ups.

Tables of ellipses . On the first page i would say you did a good job the ellipses were tightly packed and the touched both the top and bottom boundaries. But you messed this up on the second page. You ellipses became wobbly and some weren't touching the top and bottom boundaries. Also there was a lot of overlapping. Remember you should focus on smoothness and not accuracy

Ellipses in planes. Wobbly ellipses. You prioritized accuracy over smoothness and that is wrong.you should focus on smoothness over accuracy. It helps to do more ghosting before actually drawing the ellipse

Ellipses in funnels. Id say good job on this. The minor axis was well aligned to the center line

Plotted perspective. Good obviously

Rough perspective. Good job. The horizontal lines were parallel to the horizon line and vertical lines perpendicular to the horizon. Although this isn't part of the rough perspective i think you should ghost your lines more since most of them are wobbly. Otherwise good job on this

Rotated boxes. This exercise was meant to be hard. I'd say good work. When doing this exercise later focus on the rotation of the boxes more. But good work.

Organic perspective. Good. But there are some boxes who's perspective are alil bit off. But don't worry you'll work on this in the 250 box challenge

Good job on completing lesson 1.good luck as you move on to the 250 box challenge. Work on your ellipses in your warm ups..

Next Steps:

  1. Work on your ellipses. Focus on smoothness over accuracy

Looking back at my work, you are definitely correct about the accuracy over smoothness trend in my homework. I made sure not to grind any assignments, but now that it was recommended, I will definitely practice ghosting planes to improve my lines. Thank you for giving me a fair critique!

I'm glad i could help and Good luck on your art journey.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

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.
