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~

Next Steps:

250 Box Challenge xD

This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete. In order for the student to receive their completion badge, this critique will need 2 agreements from other members of the community.

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.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
