Hi I'm kind new to art and I decided to start the course to learn the fundamentals and improve my skills.
I forget to capture one of the ghosted planes before doing some ellipses inside of it, my bad ;-;
On the rotated boxes, I started to use more my elbow. I should work more on my shoulder.
Any feedback would be appreciated, thank you in advance!
Hello Digigamerr14, I hope you are well.
For your lines:
You did really well overall in this section, you are making confident strokes, it clearly shows that you take your time with each stroke, good job.
Your superimposed lines are frying only on one end properly, but those longer lines could see more work in terms of straightness, but this comes with experience.
It is completely fine to post your ghosted planes with ellipses in them.
Secondly ellipses:
These are good, but they could be more confident, try to focus on the confidence of your ellipses and strokes rather than accuracy while doing those exercises.
Also in funnels your minor axis(the middle line) isnt cutting the ellipses in symmetrical half, so we have two perfect halves. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/14/notaligned
also reminder what is minor axis, since it took me long time to understand it https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/5/minoraxis
Lastly boxes:
During this section you are repeating your lines, which is a bad habit in a drawabox exercises. Don't try to fix a bad line, leave an ugly line and then next time you make a line think of your past mistakes. Those are exercises, not pretty drawings, we are trying to learn something from them.
This is your biggest mistake here, everything here is done properly. One minor thing that I would point out is that you are not rotating enough in an organic perspective. Nothing else to say in this section, just dont try to fix lines by repeating and everything should be better.
Yes, using shoulder is good practice and as said before it is completely fine to only post ellipses in ghosted planes.
Overall you did a very good job, it shows that you read the material thoughtfully. Now what is before you is 250 box challenge, which is a tough mountain to overcome, but there is no mountain that humans cant climb or so I think because I didnt check that, but lets go with that as an ending motivation quote.
Have fun on your journey.
Next Steps:
Continue to 250 box challenge!
Thank you for your critique Rivgar!
I will work more on doing my ellipses with confidence. Funnels weren't that right, so I will add some funnels to my warmups.
On the boxes, yes. I was struggling with some lines and then I was worried about not doing it right, I totally forgot that these are exercises and started to 'fix' some lines, I will keep it in mind.
Organic Perspective, I was actually thinking on the 'Y' of the boxes before actually visualize the rotated box it self, so I will try to visualize the box first.
Thank you again for pointing out my mistakes, I will work on my weaknesses
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
