From the time of uploading this, it's been a while since I finished these homeworks and just barely started the box challenge, but I still feel these representative of the work. In the last organic perspective I went a bit wild but I believe that by the last frame I composed that wildness, so to speak. Please critique without refrain.
Hello! Congratulations on finishing lesson 1. I'm Strauss and would be pleased to critique your work, i hope they can help you one way or another on your art journey. Now, i’ll divide this into 3 major sections, let us dive into it!
=========
Lines
Super-imposes lines look good. Confidently executed (which is our motto here). There is of course, some fraying at the end but as long as it’s on the end-side only (meaning that you took your time to ghost every single line with care and precision), you’re good to go!
The ghosted lines are confidently executed too. For Drawabox: Confidence > Accuracy, and you nailed it well. Though, I suggest next time whenever you decided to revisit this as warm-ups, try to draw longer lines. This is not by any means “mandatory” but it will definitely very beneficial in the long run, to be more flexible with your mark-marking skill.
For Ghosted planes, I can see some wobbly lines here and there, but overall good! I’m also pleased to see you take advantage of all the space that the page has given, plus, planes are being drawn in various sizes and angles, there’s variety in there, so nice job
Ellipses
For Ellispses in Planes - Sometimes your ellipses either aren’t touching the corner and/or went over the base plane, but your ellipses are mostly being executed with confidence. Good job.
Tables Of Ellipses, overall great! Granted, there’s some overlapping and miscalculation here and there, but you’ve followed the instruction fairly well: Executed the ellipses with confidence, super-imposed them 2-3 times, and fit them tightly within the table bound.
The Funnels look solid too. Lines are confident. The minor axis being placed correctly, properly cut the ellipses in half.
Boxes
Plotted Perspective: solid work, you also use hatching as a mean to emphasize the planes that are facing the viewer, which made it easier to visualize.
For Rough Perspective: Your lines are getting just a little bit wobbly, but I can still see your attempt at making confident lines, so good job nonetheless! And here’s a rule of thumb:"width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to the horizon”
Rotated Boxes There’s actually a few thing to take note for this exercise. First, take look again at the full example of “how it should look like”: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/example. Not keeping things together: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/guessing Also please check out this imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/aO62cPT
Of course, mistakes are bound to be happen, and I assure you that, Rotated Boxes is one of if not the most hardest exercise in Lesson 1, and you overcame the boss itself. Good job!
Overall, you did great! Please feel free to continue your way to the 250 Box Challenge. Using (any) Lesson 1 homework as 15-30 mins warm-ups before diving into the assignment is recommended. Good luck.
Next Steps:
250 Box Challenge
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.
