Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes

Should I revise or can I go on?
Hey, I’ll be grading your homework today. For the most part, you did really well.
Your ghosted lines have a bit of arcing, but not a ton. Nothing that can’t be fixed by just being concision of it and purposefully arcing in the opposite direction a bit to straighten them out.
Your ghosted planes look good too. My only criticism is that a few of your lines noticeably stop short for some reason. Probably pulling up your pencil a too early, but not bad.
Your tables of ellipses are nice too, as do your ellipses in the ghosted planes.
Your funnels are done well too, with them touching the top and bottom pretty consistently and being divided on half pretty well.
Plotted perspective looks great, and your rough perspective looks good too, with your horizontal lines being parallel with the horizon for the most part and your other lines being perpendicular with it as well.
Your rotated boxes are a bit hard to see, but the corners are close together as they’re supposed to be, which is awesome.
And lastly, your organic perspective also holds up well too.
The only thing I recommend you do again is your superimposed lines because there’s a decent mount of fraying on both sides. As a tip, make sure your pencil is really on the point before drawing your line again.
But besides that, you’ve done really well.
Next Steps:
Re-do the superimposed lines, keeping in mind that they’re only supposed to fray on one side, and then you can move on to the 250 box challenge
Hey!
Thank you for this critique. It was amazingly helpful! :D
I did the superimposed lines exercise again:
And thank you again!
No problem. This set of lines looks better with A LOT less fraying. You did great
Next Steps:
Move on to the 250 box challenge. Good luck
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).
