I'd like your comments n critique please. I'll take them all to heart the best i can and follow them to the best of my abilities! (I used Ballpoint pens because they don't have fineliners or brush tip pens here and i'm too BROKE to buy one)
Hello Pammers! I looked at your homework and noticed a couple of things that you could work on, so let's go through them in sections. ( Also, it is okay that you used a ballpoint pen, but it is recommended that you get a fine liner asap)
To start off, your lines are quite wobbly and this is repeated throughout your homework. However, in the last exercise I can see that you made progress, so this is not a problem.
I'd like to point out the Superimposed lines exercise where your lines were also arching and in certain areas there is fraying on both ends.
Another thing that I should mention is that you should focus on confidence over accuracy because it costed you a couple of times in the Ghosted lines exercise.
Moving on, let's talk about your ellipses :
So in these exercises what you should pay attention to is spacing between your ellipses.
Other than that, about Ellipses in planes I see that you didn't always draw through the ellipses 2~3 times, as well as that your ellipses tend to deform in a couple of areas.
Besides that I should mention Funnels exercise in which you haven't used the advised equipment and as a result the minor axis isn't cutting the ellipses in two symmetrical halves.
Lastly, let's go over your boxes :
Starting off, issue in Plotted perspective is drawing the lines free hand ( even though it is clearly mentioned in the instructions to use a ruler) . Also, I should mention that you didn't have to do hatching on the faces of the boxes since it was optional and doing this just made your work look messy.
In the next exercise Rough Perspective width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon. On some occasions you drew lines twice (which you shouldn't) , so watch out for that in the future.
To sum up, the major issues in your homework were about the lines. I can see that you eventually worked on them and ( more importantly) grasped the content well. Just make sure not to rush and to take breaks! Hopefully this critique will be useful to you. I will mark this lesson as complete and I'm glad that you submitted your work! ^^
Next Steps:
250 boxes challenge
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
