hey digdug! i'm koyomi and i'm going to review your lesson 1 submission.

1. lines

-your lines are looking pretty good. i can notice some arching in the superimposed lines exercise, it can be fixed by trying to arch consciously in the opposite direction.

-also in the ghosted lines/ghosted planes exercise there's some lines that doesn't touch both points, a line should never fray on the starting dot, remember to place your pen carefully at the begining of each line so that does not happen.

2. ellipses

-in the ellipses table some of your ellipses are not drawn through, it seems that this is something you corrected on the other exercises i thought it was worth mentioning.

-on your bottom right funnel the minor axis is not in the center make sure to place it carefully.

3. boxes

-i can notice some repeating lines on your rough perspective and organic perspective, no matter how off a line is you should just keep it as if it were correct and move on.

i hope that my review was helpful and good luck for the continuation!

Next Steps:

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

Thank you for the feed back! I will take this advice to heart! Regarding the ghosted lines, is there a concise way to arch them the other way? I feel when I try to consciously do so, the line becomes super wobbly. Any tips?

when you notice your lines are starting to arch, try to just go in the opposite direction to straighten it up without really "arching it" in the opposite direction, and if your lines become wobbly remember to be confident and not too slow. i don't know if i can really help you more than that sorry

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.

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
