Howdy. Looking pretty good so far. Here's some feedback:
Lines: Some fraying on both ends of the superimposed lines and sometimes miss the first point in ghosted lines exercise, but you seem to have improved upon that in your later exercises. Just keep in mind you always want to land that first point. Otherwise, you do a pretty good job keeping those lines straight, so keep it up.
Ellipses: Not bad on ellipses. Good job on varying up your ellipses. Never hurts to practice different things. You seemed to prioritize drawing confident ellipses (lines are smooth, not wobbly) which is great! Keep it up. Try focusing on tightening up those ellipses as you move forward. On the funnels exercise, your ellipses tend to angle both directions at the center and edges of the funnel, just something to keep in mind.
Boxes: Some repeated lines here and there, try not to do that. Accept the mistake and move on with it, correct it on your next attempt. On your rough perspective exercise, some of your lines (the front face lines) almost seem too straight compared to your other lines... almost like you used a ruler. If that is the case, then you have cheated yourself out of some valuable ghosting practice as only the horizon line needed to be drawn with a ruler. Rotated boxes looking nice, good job keeping 'em tight and using nearby lines to construct your forms. Organic boxes looking nice, don't be afraid to vary up the boxes (they don't all have to be cubes). A lot of angles on the initial Y are either at or less than 90 degrees, which is something you want to avoid because it leads to your boxes looking distorted.
Otherwise, good start. Keep it up!
Next Steps:
Move onto 250 box challenge. Be sure to revisit lesson 1 exercises every now and then as warm-up exercises for your box drawing sessions. Avoid repeating your lines. Plot and ghost each hatch line, this is good practice for improving your linework.
omg im so sorry to not reply sooner also thank u sooo soo much for such detailed feedback it means a lot i will keep it in mind everytime i do warm ups and also as for the last critique in the boxes section specifically for the rough perspective ones i did not use a ruler so i feel a lil proud that my lines are that straight i used the ghosting method everywhere it was supposed to b used also thank u again
Lines are smooth and confident and you seem to have a good grasp of the spatial reasoning concepts explained in the boxes section.
You can move onto the 250 boxes challenge
Next Steps:
Good luck with the 250 boxes challenge
You should practice a bit more of ellipses in my opinion. Otherwise, you did great! (:
thanks a lot and i will keep that in mind :)
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
