Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
8:38 AM, Sunday May 24th 2020
Can I please have some feedback on Lesson One? This was attempted to the best of my ability. Thanks!
Overall pretty good job, here are some pointers so you can keep improving:
Lines
Lines are pretty good in general, keep it up like that and you'll nail the accuracy with practice!
Ellipses
Same with ellipses, pretty good confidence, you'll nail accuracy with time. I recommend drawing through them only 2 times.
Boxes
Lastly, on boxes, you're doing a pretty good job too, though you are repeating some lines. Remember that no matter how wrong a line is, you shouldn't repeat it in those exercises, keep going as if it were correct.
You can also add lineweight on organic perspective on the parts of the silhouette of boxes that overlap, to clarify relationship between boxes.
Next Steps:
First of all, congratulations on finishing lesson 1! Your next step is the box challenge.
As I marked this as complete, you are now qualified to critique lesson 1 submissions.
-Doing critiques is a way of learning and solidifying concepts. I can atest to that after having done hundreds of critiques. There are a lot of concepts that I did not understand, and thanks to critiquing I started understanding them. Which made me learn a lot more through the course.
-Another thing is that as the number of current submissions is super high, if you critique some critiques, those would be less critiques I'd have to critique before reaching your next submissions, so you'd get your critiques faster.
It's totally optional of course, I won't force anyone to give critiques. But me and the other people who are critiquing would be super grateful if you gave it a shot.
Good luck on the box challenge, and keep up the good work!
NOTE: here's a quick guide on critiquing lesson 1 submissions.
There are a few people that feel hesitant to critique because they feel they aren't ready to it so hopefully it'll help you in case you are one of those people.
Thanks a lot for your critique. I'll be sure to focus on these things for next time.
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
