Hi, I'm Zxem and will try my best to critique your work. Before I start, I will divide the lesson into 3 sections which are Lines , Ellipse and Box.
LINES
• Superimposed Lines - You are doing good, the lines are clear , no wobbling lines just that the end of the lines are fraying.
• Ghosted Lines - Those are good , but there are a few lines that are don't reach to point B. So to get better at it, you can put point A , B and then ghost the lines multiple times before you put your lines. Only put the lines down if you are confident :).
• Ghosted Plane - you are doing great, I can see clearly that you are following the instructions. Keep it up.
ELLIPSE
• Ellipse in plane - The a few of the ellipse overlap but overall, you did a great job.
• Funnel - I have no comments on this either, you are doing great and following the instructions.
BOXES
• Plotted perspective - You are doing so well. No comment on this too (???????).
• Rough Perspective - There are a few lines which are repeating, so it's better to leave them as it as and try not to make the same mistake on next time. Overall you are doing great.
• Rotate Boxes - Great job , the boxes are clear and there're no gap between them.
• Organic Perspective - a few of the boxes are didn't follow the perspective and your boxes will get better when you do 250
Next Challenges: 250 boxes challenges.
Next Steps:
I'm sure that you are ready for the next challenge and also don't forget to do those exercise as a warm up.
Good Luck & Congratulation. (???????)?—??
Thank you very much for the thoughtful feedback! You are right -- I was in the habit of repeating or "fixing" lines for some of these challenges. I'd actually somehow missed the instruction to avoid that, despite reading the instructions pretty carefully (well, at least I think I read them carefully). And in my private 50% sketching time, I've been operating under the Bert Dodson philosophy that "restatements" are useful (I think it's more applicable there). But yes, going forward with the 250 box challenge I'll make an effort to avoid repeating lines. I've been using the Lesson 1 exercises for my warm-ups and growing steadily better at them, I think.
I'm glad that my critiques are useful.
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
