Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
10:49 AM, Monday March 18th 2024
Ghosted Plans & Ellipses in Planes share partly the same exercise sheet.
Thanks for the feedback.
Eldast, don't worry, I'm here to give you my feedback on your lesson 1.
Lines: I believe you made good lines. Although some have deviations, they are smooth.
Ellipses: I noticed that you often exceeded the limit of drawing them 3 times, plus some of them were deformed. You can try to pay more attention when ghosting to try to smooth them out and not exceed the limits I mentioned.
Cashiers: YOU DID VERY WELL. IT IS SERIOUS. The rotated boxes exercise is very good. It would have been nice if you had used line weight in the organic perspective. I didn't need to correct the boxes in rough perspective.
In general, you did well, you just need to pay attention to what I said about ellipses. I recommend that you do some of these exercises as a warm-up for future drawings.
Next Steps:
Your next step is the 250 Boxes Challenge. Good luck:)
Hi Adley, appreciate your feedback.
Ellipses we're tough for me. Doing them within 2 rounds often ended in them being not circular enough, whereas 3+ helped me shaping them. Yet, will keep doing them as warm-ups.
Thanks for the input about line weight, will incorporate that too :)
Cheers
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
