Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
2:10 PM, Wednesday June 14th 2023
Gimme some feedback and criticism please.
What can I do better/differently except practicing more?
Hello I'm PGcools and I'll review your work :)
Lines
I see there's is some wobbliness and arching of lines as well. I'd recommend drawing with more confidence, taking a bit more time into ghosting and making sure you are drawing with your shoulder. If the arching persists try to arch the line to the opposite directions while ghosting.
Ellipses
The biggest deal with your ellipses is that they maybe overlap too much the others. You tend to overshoot when placing your ellipses rather that falling short. Also, in Funnels, the minor axis should cut the ellipses in two symmetrical halfs, and in some cases it doesn't.
Boxes
Not a lot of mistakes here. In Rough Perspective width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon, the ones in the front do but those in the back are inclined. I also noticed you repeated some lines, that should never be done, no matter how off a line is, just keep working even thought you know it is going to be a bit off. Apart from that, just perspective issues you will have time to work on in the 250 Boxes Challenge.
Next Steps:
Move on to the 250 Boxes Challenge.
Thank you :)
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.
