Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
4:41 PM, Thursday June 16th 2022
I'd like to know how I did, what areas need the most improvement and if this is good enough to move on to the 250 box challenge.
The first line exercise: you did a great job maintaining the starting position with your marks. The lines could be drawn with more confidence I think. I see a bit of wobble throughout.
The ellipse work was executed very well.
Organic boxes exercise: I struggled with this bit myself for quite a while. The vanishing points for many of your boxes in this exercise are not consistent which leads to the warped appearance.
Next Steps:
I would recommend you move on to the 250 box challenge. I think this will help tremendously.
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
