Hi overall good job and congrats finishing first lesson :)

Lines

Lines are looking p good overall, though you have some long ones that are wobbling a bit. This can happen because you might not be using your shoulder as your main pivot so check you're doing it.

Ellipses

Ellipses are a bit wobbly at times. Remember that in ellipses as well as lines you should try to do them as confident as you can, don't hesitate in sacrificing accuracy to get them smoother and more confident, and keep working on them.

Boxes

On rotated boxes, you're missing corner boxes. In both rotated boxes and organic perspective, your main issue is perspective, which is completely fine, as you'll work on it in 250 boxes challenge.

Also in rough perspective horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon. Keep an eye on that.

Good job overall ;)

Next Steps:

Continue to use these exercises as part of your warm ups (about 10-15 minutes)

Feel free to move onto the 250 box challenge

Don’t forget to take breaks and draw for fun!

Also, now that you’ve completed Lesson 1, I encourage you to critique some Lesson 1 community submissions. Not only will this help the community, but it will also solidify and reinforce your understanding of the material. Of course, this is optional (but we’d be especially grateful!). If you’d like to give it a shot, see this guide that was created by one of our community members on how to go about critiquing Lesson 1.
This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete, and 2 others agree. The student has earned their completion badge for this lesson and should feel confident in moving onto the next lesson.

thanks fo much for taking the time to look at my work, I have noticed that my work seems a little bit "sloppier" than some of the others which is likely due to me not taking my time properly as well as my upper body positioning. I've been using a drawing board trying to experiment with different arm angles but I can't seem to settle on something that works for me. I have started my 250 box challenge and I do feel like my lines have gotten a little straighter and more accurate :)

No worries bro, I'm glad to help;)

Yeah by the time you finish boxes challenge your lines and perspective will definitely get better.

Good luck)

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
