Next Steps:

1 page of the superimposed lines exercise

1 page of the ghosted lines exercise

1 page of the ghosted planes exercise

Remember that, at this stage, confidence is far more important than accuracy. That is to say, it's okay for a line to miss the guideline, or the end point, so long as it's smooth, and confident. The opposite, is not.

1 page of the table of ellipses exercise

1 page of the ellipses in planes exercise

1 page of the funnels exercise

Similarly, it's more important for an ellipse to be smooth, and circular, than it is for it to fit inside of the bounds of the frame.

1 page of the rough perspective exercise

1 quadrant of the rotated boxes exercise

1 page of the organic perspective exercise

Remember that automatic reinforcing is discouraged. If a line is wrong, it's wrong- don't redo it. If an exercise asks you to thicken a line, be clean, subtle, and only do it once.

Well done! There’s still the occasional wobbly line, and I’m not 100% sure what’s going on with your ellipses in planes (why’s there 4 of them per plane, ahaha), but this is a massive improvement over the previous submission. Consider this lesson complete~

My bad lol. Not sure why I did 4 circles per plane. Odd part is that I did the bottom row properly. Part of me is a little annoyed because I didn't follow the instructions to a T as I was instructed to. Didn't even notice honestly until you pointed it out.

Thanks for all your help BenJ.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
