LINES:
I notice on your superimposed lines homework you have a lot of arcing of the lines. I do not see the initial straight line that was indicated in the lesson instructions. I think by skipping this step, your lines are confident, but arked. You've done very well at not fraying at the beginning of the line, and drawing confidently so that the lines are smooth. If you do this homework again, I would be sure to make sure the initial strait line is created.
For the ghosted lines homework, I've noticed that you are doing very well with confidence, fewer than 1/3rd of the lines I see have that wobbly look. Your lines are also much straighter than in the superimposed line homework. You seem to be quite solidly in level 2 as described by the introduction of the exercise.
Your ghosted plane sheets shows quite a bit of improvement on your confidence and lack of wobbles over the ghosted lines homework. The lines in this work are in the upper level 2 / start of level 3 of ghosted lines phases as described in the ghosted lines homework.
ELLIPSES:
TABLE:
The table of ellipses looks nice. On your later page, I don't see very many cases where the ellipse doesn't touch the edges and the second loop overlaps the first one quite well. Well Done. You improved quiet a bit during the homework pages.PLANE:
I've noticed a couple of places where one side of the plane isn't touched, but this is rather rare and your lines tend to be confident and smooth.
FUNNELS:
On your bottom left funnel, I notced that a couple of the ellipses are not fully aligned. But this is the only nitpick I can find. I think this assignment was done well.
BOXES:
Plotted:
There aren't any suggestions on what to look for, so I'll just wing it. Your lines are hitting your chosen vanishing points quite well. It seems like a lot of timeand care went into this assignment.
Rough:
Your following lines are hitting the vanishing point as opposed to just moving to the horizon line following the vanishing lines. This makes identifying where the vanishing point of the boxes actually goes. Your lines in the boxes are nicely confident. I would suggest doing this again.
Rotated:
you are missing 3 boxes per quadrant. Your rotation on the major axes looks good. I would suggest re-doing this assignment.
Organic:
You seem to have lost confidence in your lines here. The boxes are a more wobbly than the previous boxes assignments. The reduction in size as the boxes get further back along the line looks good. I would suggest ghosting the lines a little more as that has worked for you in the past.
Next Steps:
The rotated box homework is missing some of the boxes. This was listed as one of the only requirments in the assignment text.
The rough boxes should either be redone, or have the tail lines following the line of the box and not going to the vanishing point.
Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.
Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
