Hello,

here's the critique:

  • Arrows: edges look a bit sketchy, make sure you use ghosting & confident lines when adding extra lineweight

  • Contour ellipses: you prioritize hitting edges instead of confident lines - getting confident ellipse in is more important (as accuracy will improve with practice)

  • Contour curves: mostly OK, just ends of some of them are sketchy

  • Textures: OK

  • Dissections: OK

  • Intersection: OK

  • Organic Intersection: mostly OK, though contours once again do not look confident

I think you can move on to next lesson, though in your warm ups do keep in minds to focus on line confidence

Good luck in your art journey!

thanks for the critique, which of the exercises can i do to improve line confidence?

I think the best ones are these (just keep in mind to prioritize smooth lines over accuracy):

  • Ellipses in planes - you get to practice straight lines and ellipses, though lines are short

  • Ghosting long lines

  • Ghosting curves (place 3 points randomly, then try connecting them with a smooth curve in single motion)

oh ok thanks for the advice

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.
