Hello! Here is my homework from lesson 1. I find the pen a bit stressful and my straight lines to deceptively curved. In addition, I had trouble visualizing rotating a box in the Organic Perspective, so I use a sheet of rotated boxes and a rubix cube as reference. I hoping/expecting these problems to go away in time with practice. Thanks for any and all critiques/help!
Hi! Nice work!
Your lines are straight and confident with a nice degree of accuracy. Your ellipses are consistent and mostly feel smooth. I see some extra circling of the stroke on the ellipses, you should keep it at two or three to strive for a more accurate result.
Also the perspective exercises seems pretty well done to me, I have no major observations to make. About the organic perspective, the preferred approach would be to always draw the whole shape of the box, even if it appears to be behind another box or partially covered by it.
If you haven't already done so, you could watch the review linked at the end of lesson 1: https://youtu.be/5cciOw9z6IU. You can compare your homework to the one that is getting reviewd, I found it really helpful!
I'd say you're headed in the right direction, keep up the good work!
Next Steps:
You can follow the suggestion at the end of lesson 1 and proceed with the 250 box challenge, good luck!
Great, thank you!
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
