Hi sasgraph! I'll be reviewing your work today.

Lines look mostly confident, but you seem to have lost this in the rough perspective section. I have also noticed that you tried to draw over / correct your marks on the organic perspective section. I understand it's tempting to correct your mistakes (I struggle with this too) but it's best to leave them as they are, because you can always try to do it better on the next one. I also saw you have applied lineweight on your boxes but next time, make sure to just imply them. You can do this by not drawing over the entire line(s).

Your table of ellipses can be better. Keep up your line confidence, remember to use ghosting method and try your best to draw these ellipses squeezed together without overlaps. But if they overlap a little, it's also fine. Prioritizing confidence over accuracy is better than vice-versa.

All in all good job on your first try! Just some minor revisions and you're on your way.

Next Steps:

I would like you to draw one (1) page of ellipses table and one (1) page of rough perspective.

Remember to ghost the ellipses carefully so that they'll be more squeezed together, and to use your shoulder when drawing your lines so there is less wobbling.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hello again sasgraph! Good job on this revision, I definitely noticed the improvement especially on your rough perspective exercise :) Good luck on the next one!

Next Steps:

You may now try out the 250 boxes challenge. Hope you can apply your takeaways from this lesson on there too, let's go!!

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

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.
