Hello,
I've been really bad at drawing since I was a kid. Now, this website encouraged me to get back into drawing and try it once again. So, I've tried my best in doing these exercises.
Please feel free to give feedbacks. I'll be looking forward to hearing them.
Hey, first of all, congratulations for ending lesson 1, now into the feedback
Lines
Its clear that you have been using the ghosting method and taking some time with them, this is good, the only thing i would suggest is to make a downwards force to contrarest the slight curvature that some of your lines has. But the thing that is more important, the flow of the line are quite good, so you are in the right path
Ellipses
Here we have a little bit of trouble, some of your ellipses look solid and smooth, while others have trembly lines, remember that you should apply the ghosting method here as well, making 2 ellipses without touching the page, stopping, repeating and so on until you feel confident, don't just draw circles in the air and then put the pen down. In general, your funnel ellipses look good, try to make your ellipses in a plane the same way.
Boxes
Plotted perspective are good, but in the rough perspective your line quality goes down, remember to firs put the points, then rotate the page until you find a confortable angle, then ghost your lines, and after all of that make the line, this problem is also present in both rotated boxes, and organic perspective. The boxes by themselves are mostly good, but the lines that makes them are not as good as the ones in your ghosted planes, so you have already showed that you can make good lines, apply them in everything you draw
Conclusion
The fundamentals are fine, i think what you should do is take more time working in your lines, don't try to change the trajectory of the line while you draw it, instead ghost it until you feel secure about it. For this, i would recommend you to move on the 250 box challenge
Next Steps:
take some time doing warm ups, and move into the 250 box challenge, good luck and have fun
Heyy mate!
Thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it. Yes, I have to admit that my ellipses in tables really suck XD. I will try to improve it by practicing more. Also, I will make sure to be patiently ghosting the lines until I feel confident and secure about it. Hope I can do better in 250 box challenge.
Again, Thank you so much!!! Have a nice day!
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
