Hey there shreyas, good job on finishing lesson 1. You are definitely off to a good start so let's get started.

Your super imposed lines are showing good confidence and use of the shoulder. There isn't much in terms of fraying going on so as you keep practicing your grouping will get even tighter. Your ghosted lines are also confident, with a few wobbles here and there but overall you're using your shoulder and ghosting. Although there are a few lines that seem to have been broken up into 2 or more attempts so always make sure a line is a single stroke and not segmented as that is how we end up with hairy lines.

Moving on to ellipses, they are drawn confidently and have a good flow but sometimes you tend to draw through too many times. Try to limit it to 2 or 3 maximum passes. With your ellipses in planes you do a good job making contact with the edges of the planes to keep the shape fit snugly within the bounds and in your tables exercise you are doing a great job packing your ellipses together to leave no room for ambiguity and your lines are continuing to be smooth and confidently drawn with the shoulder. Your ellipses in funnels show you have a good understanding of keeping your minor axes aligned to an aribtrary axis and your control is great. Overall really nice job so far.

Your rough perspective is demonstrating a good understanding of the core principles here. Your horizontals are parallel to the horizon and verticals are perpendicular. You have a few minor mistakes on execution but that is more of a mechanical issue so just keep practicing ghosting and using your s houlder to draw confident marks. Your converging lines are right where we expect them to be in terms of accuracy so as you continue to practice drawing lines to far off points (like in the box challenge) that accuracy will improve.

Good job on completing the rotated boxes. Your line quality here is really nice and confident which makes everything easy to read. I would have liked to see you draw this larger as it gives your brain more room to work through these spatial puzzles so keep that in mind - drawing bigger = more room for brain to work. In terms of rotation, you are off to an ok start, but you could definitely push the rotation further so watch this gif again and see how the rotation is driven by the motion of the VPs. You did a good job keeping your boxes tightly packed to properly leverage adjacent lines as perspective guides so good job there. The main goal here is for students to push through to completion to be introduced to new types of spatial problems and solution methods so mission accomplished!

Finally let's look at your organic perspective. You are doing a great job with your exploration of 3d space here. There is a clear foreground with nicely scaled elements to set the scale and clear overlapping to make the forms seem to take occupy the same space. You could have drawn more scaled down boxes to give them the illusion of receding into the background to further push the illusion of three dimensional space. Your line quality is pretty good, if a bit heavy handed at times. Give this section on lineweight a read to see what I mean. Overall your perspective is off to a good start; you are being mindful of your lines converging but there are still some times when you have divergence instead. Nothing that the 250 box challenge won't clear up though.

Next Steps:

So with that, your lesson 1 is now complete. good job! Your next step is the 250 box challenge. Make sure to read all of the direction and mind the 50/50 rule as outlined in lesson 0 to prevent burn out. Keep up the good work and we'll see you next time.

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

Thanks sir for your valuable feedback. I would definitely work on the recommended areas.

Sir I was little bit confused about that ahievement badge in my notification center. As I am new to this community and platform I don't know about these terms. So sir if you can explain me what these are it would be much helpful.

Also sir that community badge has some feedbacks written completely opposite to what you have written. So sir I am little bit confused.

As Svendogee marked your Lesson 1 work as complete, you were given the completion badge for Lesson 1. It just shows that you finished the lesson. The other badge you received isn't important - it's just one awarded for participation in the community, but it doesn't have an actual graphic yet. Don't worry about it.

I am curious though what you're referring to when you say that it has feedback "completely opposite to what you have written". Which feedback are you referring to?

This one sir(above link).

Maybe I just misinterpreted that.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
