Lines
Lines are p good and get better over the set, but they get a bit wobbly at times. Remember you should always prioritize confidence over accuracy.
Ellipses
Same with ellipses, though over the set they end up being pretty confident and smooth, good job!
Boxes
For boxes good job too, here are a few things:
-Don't rush the hatching. There are some hatching lines that fray in 2 ends, you should carefully place your pen on the start of each line, so only a maximum of 1 end can fray. Plan each stroke you make carefully.
-You also are repeating some lines, don't repeat a line no matter how off it is as it'll make the drawing messier.
-This is a nitpick, but you have some lines that are starting to arch and fray more than your lines in the lines exercises. Remember you should pay the same attention on the lines of the boxes as you did before. Treat each single line as a ghosted lines exercise.
-And lastly in organic perspective I think you aren't plotting all of your lines. You need to draw the starting and ending of the line you're going to draw before drawing it. There are some lines where you didn't place it so be careful with that, as it's pretty important to apply the ghosting method.
Next Steps:
First of all, congratulations on finishing lesson 1! Your next step is the box challenge.
As I marked this as complete, you are now qualified to critique lesson 1 submissions.
-Doing critiques is a way of learning and solidifying concepts. I can atest to that after having done hundreds of critiques. There are a lot of concepts that I did not understand, and thanks to critiquing I started understanding them. Which made me learn a lot more through the course.
-Another thing is that as the number of current submissions is super high, if you critique some critiques, those would be less critiques I'd have to critique before reaching your next submissions, so you'd get your critiques faster. The new system ordering submissions also makes that the more agrees your critiques have the higher you'll be placed in the queue of critiques, which will improve your chances of getting critiques faster as well.
It's totally optional of course, I won't force anyone to give critiques. But me and the other people who are critiquing would be super grateful if you gave it a shot.
Good luck on the box challenge, and keep up the good work!
NOTE: here's a quick guide on critiquing lesson 1 submissions.
There are a few people that feel hesitant to critique because they feel they aren't ready to it so hopefully it'll help you in case you are one of those people.
Thank you for the critique. I will try to work on my lines and hatching in the 250 box challenge.
I will try to give critiques but english is my 2nd language and I often make mistakes so I am not sure how helpful my critiques would be.
Anything can be helpful! Just pointing out the main mistakes of their submissions will be super helpful. You can go through the guide I posted on my previous message and go over the mistakes and see if you can find them.
No worries and keep up the good work!
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
