The first homework was made with a ballpoint pen, and did not received any feedback. So I made it again.

Hi, congrats for finishing lesson 1!!

Lines:

So first Superimposed Lines your lines don't fray on the starting dot ant that its enough for this; next Ghosted Lines and Ghosted Planes I'm able to see little wobble lines and slightly arch in them but their are incredible precise but at this moment of DaB we prefer confidence than accuracy. They solution for the wobble ones it's to trust in the ghosted line and for the arch be aware your using your shoulder; in case your elbow have a some point of contact with any surface can makes you using it instead your shoulder.

Ellipses:

Here only Ellipses on plane are good, in Table of Ellipses and Funnels your not confidence with your lines they wobble a lot and don't respect the bounds with the other ellipses.

Boxes:

So onto Plotted Perspective and Rough Perspective, you get the idea if what a vanishing point is but in the second one the lines that don't go to the VP are suppose to be straight, parallel or perpendicular to the horizontal line. Next Rotated Boxes its good enough but you forget the corners nothing more to point here. And finally Organic Perspective the idea is good but not the execution, your lines start to wobble a lot.

Next Steps:

I'll need:

  • 1 filled pages of the Tables of Ellipses exercise

  • 1 filled page of the Funnels exercise

  • 1 filled pages of the Rough Perspective exercise

In the ellipse part I need smooth lines and respect the bound with the space near them.

And in boxes I wanna see straight lines, parallel and perpendicular with the horizon lines.

The wobble lines will be surpass with practice and I recommend Ghosted Planes or boxes with ghosted lines like a recurrent warmups.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hello, and thanks for your feedback.

So, I remade the exercise you proposed, and this is what I made. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1buSnBJpn7IifgpakD5W_YXAg-4QDhkSA/view?usp=sharing

Ok in the rough perspective you improve in my indication and in the ellipses section you can improve more but I'm not gonna make that 2 exercises stop you to go for the 250 challenge box.

Recommendation, stay practice ellipses in your warmups until they are smooth and more clean, and take the time you need in each box, each line to make the boxes look smooth and confidence.

Remember the 50% rule, enjoy this trip and good luck!!

Next Steps:

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
