hi Lawky! i'm Koyomi and i'm going to review your lesson 1 submission.

first, let's talk about the submission in itself. your photos are nicely taken, pretty good lighting, no shadows and well framed but the quality of your camera is pretty bad.

it shouldn't be a problem here just know that you're less likely to receive feedback with a bad camera quality so if that's something that you can improve i would highly recommend that you do!

1. lines

-your lines are looking pretty nice! i can notice some arching in the ghosted lines/ghosted planes exercises, it can be fixed by trying to arch consciously in the opposite direction.

2. ellipses

-your ellipses are pretty good too, on the ellipses table exercise i notice some ellipses that overlaps each other, remember to keep them within their bounds, they should touch each other without overlapping. same with the funnels exercise!

3. boxes

-on the rotated box exercise, some of your boxes aren't rotating.

your organic perspective exercise is not too bad, just try to think more in therm of depth, what's in front and what's behind and don't be afraid to overlap your boxes in this exercise

Next Steps:

move on to the 250 boxes challenge, good luckk!!

i really agree with koyomi that your lines and elipses are great !!! but when it comes to rotated boxes i see some mistakes like his boxes are not rotating they are out of perspective maybe he needs to give it a try again for rotated boxes

so the key is use the neighbouring edges bro and as the boxes rotate the vanishing points are also getting closer to each other and they are along the horizontal line and that's what makes them look rotated

i just want you to give a try again for rotated boxes ok

Next Steps:

1 rotated boxes

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. 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.

I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
