Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
6:00 AM, Wednesday June 1st 2022
Hi, this is my assignments for 1 lesson. Would appreciate review :3
Hello, good job on finishing lesson 1 !
Your superimposed lines don't have fraying on both end of the line, which is good. There is a bit of arching in some lines, but the problems has been solved in the ghosted lines.
Your ghosted planes are well done : the lines are drawn with confidence from the shoulder (there's just a bit of undershooting/overshooting in some lines, but you'll be able to improve this point during the 250 boxes challenge).
As for the table of ellipse and the ellipses in plane, those are drawn with confidence, as there is no wobbling, which is good, but some ellipses aren't in bound of the space they're in. Your ellipses snug well in funnels, which is improvement !
Some lines aren't drawn as confidently as before in rough perspective. It's completely fine, as you'll be training this skill during the 250 boxes challenge.
The perspective and rotation on rotated boxes are overall well drawn.
The different rotations in organic perspective are good, some problems with perspective from time to time but nothing too problematic.
As a reminder, you can use line weight by ghosting once outer lines of boxes to improve perspective and make i easier to see which part of the box is the front and which one is the back. This method will be used in the next lessons, starting with the 250 boxes.
I'll mark this lesson as complete. Have fun with the 250 box challenge !

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
