Hi Pgcools i will be reviewing your homework!

Lines: it looks great. but there's some issues, your ghosted lines seems pretty nice however some of them are wobbly or arched. i will recommend you to make sure you're drawing from the shoulder and to try to arch consciously in the opposite direction to prevent arching lines. i also notice that some of your lines in the ghosted lines exercise are not touching both ends, your lines should touch the starting dot, take the time to place your pen carefully at the begining of each lines.

Ellipses: good job with your ellipses they look confident, are drawn through, they're not overlapping so much on the ellipses table exercise and your funnels are pretty great you got that!

Boxes: i have not much to say about your boxes they're pretty great i would just advise you not to be afraid of making things cluttered in your practice, i think you could have fit more boxes and make them overlap more in the organic perspective exercise.

Next Steps:

move on to the 250 boxes challenge! and don't forget to apply the 50% rule!

Thank you very much, you're absolutely right. I definitively have to work on my Lines so I'll take that into account in the 250 boxes challenge.

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.
This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.
If you'd like to advertise here, you can do so through comicad.net
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Printer Paper

Printer Paper

Where the rest of my recommendations tend to be for specific products, this one is a little more general. It's about printer paper.

As discussed in Lesson 0, printer paper (A4 or 8.5"x11") is what we recommend. It's well suited to the kind of tools we're using, and the nature of the work we're doing (in terms of size). But a lot of students still feel driven to sketchbooks, either by a desire to feel more like an artist, or to be able to compile their work as they go through the course.

Neither is a good enough reason to use something that is going to more expensive, more complex in terms of finding the right kind for the tools we're using, more stress-inducing (in terms of not wanting to "ruin" a sketchbook - we make a lot of mistakes throughout the work in this course), and more likely to keep you from developing the habits we try to instill in our students (like rotating the page to find a comfortable angle of approach).

Whether you grab the ream of printer paper linked here, a different brand, or pick one up from a store near you - do yourself a favour and don't make things even more difficult for you. And if you want to compile your work, you can always keep it in a folder, and even have it bound into a book when you're done.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
