Okay, let's have a look here...

So your super imposed lines do show a nice variety of lengths and you've even some attempts at doing some super imposed arcs! I would say though that the fraying at both ends is VERY noticable. I would recommend doing another page of these but remeber to

  1. Take a moment to reset and place your pen at the orgional starting point before making the next stroke

  2. Rotate the page so that you can make your marks with your SHOULDER, not your elbow. (Which seems to be the case based on how wibbly they are. I would reccomend roating the page so that your making the mark at a 45 degree angle away from you. Its not something that's going to feel natural to do at first but boy does it help!

Your ghosted lines are perfect! No comments needed here. And this is a reccurring theme throughout the rest of your ellipis work. (Although your elipises in planes falter a bit. Again make sure you freeze your elbow and wist and let the shoulder do the work.)

I'm unfortunately not going to give any critque on the perspective work, since its something I'm still understanding myself but the marksmanship on these boxes atleast feels solid.

Next Steps:

  • 1 Page of Superimposed LInes

  • 1 Page of Elipises in Planes

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hello Bigmoose! Today i'll critique your homework.

-Line

+ Superimposed Lines: your line is wobbly alot but it seems like you've improved abit at the second page. for better line I suggest you ghosting your line and execute it fast and confident.

+ Ghosted Lines: The first thing to point out is that you are focusing on making your line accurate but wobbly alot. You are forcing your line to where it meant to end so that end up with a ton of wobbly line. For now, working on getting your lines straight is more important than having them go to the right place.

+ Ghosted Planes: On this exercise, the only problem I notice is some of your line is overshoot and under shoot. This can improve through time and practise enough. overall your line is smooth and confident so im happy with that.
  • Elipses

    • Tables of Ellipses: Your elipses are mostly done correctly with varriety of shape and angle. But some is wobbly and lack of confident. This can improve by doing this exercise as warm up next time.

    • Ellipses in Planes: They are little wobbly but you done them correct, they touch every edge of the plane so that's good,

    • Funnels: Seems like you understand the concept of the homework.

      • I dont know what to say. Elipse is a pain for me either.
    • Boxes

    • Plotted Perspective: I dont need to say much about this exercise since its mainly helping you understand about perspective.

    • Rough Perspective: Your first page is a bit messy, I assume that you arent familier with this concept so that's okay. The second page is much better, seems like you are improving alot.

    • Rotated Boxes: Seems like you have the idea of it, some of the boxes are not fully rotated. overal this exercise is abit overwhelmed for beginer tho.

    • Organic Perspective: Your boxes ratio is not consistent, some of the boxes look the same despite of distances. On the boxes it self, I see a few with diverging lines but you will work on that on the 250 boxes challenge.

    Overall: You seem to understand all the concepts covered in the lessons but seem to be struggling with line work. You’ll have plenty of time to practice it during the 250 boxes. I suggest you do a revisions if you can on the Organic Perspective exercise, this time make sure your focus on the different, relationship of boxes in space in closer and further view and pay attendtion on how you want your boxes turn in space and the concept of vanishing point. not every object belong to one vanishing point but every object have their own vanishing point. for now i think you are ready for the 250 boxes challenge.

Next Steps:

  • 1 more page of Organic Perspective (optional)

  • 250 boxes challenge

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.
