Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
5:57 PM, Sunday July 5th 2020
Hi there! Would love to hear any critiques and/or feedback :) Thank you in advance!! Have a joyous day!
These are well done. The lines you've created were very clean and confident. It looks like you only need some small tweaks and adjustments on your 3 point perspective boxes. The 250 boxes challenge would most likely help you understand how to draw them though. My one issue in your work is your funnels exercise. You need to have the center of the funnel have the ellipse with the smallest degree and the ellipses near the ends of the funnels have the largest degree.
You should be using the exercises you've learned in this lesson as your warm-ups from now on so that you're able to keep the fundamentals in mind. After this lesson the next step would be the 250 boxes challenge.
Good work, keep at it!
Next Steps:
I would redo the funnels exercise with the tips that I gave in mind. Then I would say that you've finally completed this lesson.
Ah, I see what you meant! I went ahead and redid the funnels exercise (https://imgur.com/eCf7e6b). Thank you very much for your feedback! I appreciate and value your time!
Yes, good work but remember confident lines. some of your ellipse lacked some of that.
Next Steps:
Good luck on the 250 box challenge.
I would add, try as much as possible to draw your lines only once, instead of passing over them several times. If your goal is to thicken the outer lines of your volumes, try to merge the subsequent lines better with the first one, otherwise it will end up looking messy. Good work overall! :)
Thank you for the advice and feedback! Definitely will work on trying to draw my lines only once going forward! I appreciate and value your time!
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).
