Hello Shypenguin! Looks like the Google Drive worked but no critiques were made! So here we go!

Lines

So far your lines are looking good and confident. You are going the right direction, of course there is some fraying and the occasional arcing, but that can be improved upon via warm up sessions going forward

Ellipses

Some of your ellipses in your Table of Ellipses and Funnels appear to be only drawn once. A reminder to draw these ellipses at least 2 to 3 times. Otherwise, most of your ellipses are drawn confidently. Remember that they can be improved in your warm up sessions moving forward

Boxes

Plotted Perspectives are looking good

Rough perspective boxes are mostly good, they hit closely to the intended vanishing point. In one of the boxes, it appears you plotted the width lines (which is supposed to run parallel) instead of the length lines (the one that's supposed to be extended to the vanishing point) You only need to draw them until they reach the horizon line. Many of the lines overshoot the horizon. Besides those things, you're in the right direction

Your rotated boxes confuse me. You only need to do one set of rotated boxes. It lacks guide boxes on the axes, one of the rotated boxes aren't drawn through and the amount of boxes drawn in every set is incomplete. It gives me the impression you're confused and lost in this exercise.

Your Organic Perspective is looking good, there is noticeable change in size and thus the perceived distance relative to the viewer. Some boxes appeared to be drawn through, but that's an optional thing to do.

Closing Remarks

Good work on finishing this lesson! Most of the exercises here are good enough. Remember that these exercises can be improved in your warm up sessions moving forward.

Unfortunately your Rotated Box exercise needs some revisiting before I can mark this lesson as complete, please revisit the Rotated Box instructions and perform a one page revision of your Rotated Box before I can consider this lesson as complete. I know it's difficult, but we are looking for good enough, not perfection.

That's all, do your revisions and keep up the good work!

Next Steps:

  • 1 page Rotated Boxes exercise

Take your time reading the instructions and do them to the best of your abilities

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

heads up, the google drive needs reviewers to request access. You can turn that off and upload a different link (I think?) or upload an imgur set.

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.
This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

Proko's Figure Drawing Fundamentals

Proko's Figure Drawing Fundamentals

Stan Prokopenko's had been teaching figure drawing as far back as I can remember, even when I was just a regular student myself. It's safe to say that when it comes to figure drawing, his tutelage is among the best.

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.
