Hello, JJ_ANIM8S!
It appears the following are missing from your submission:
-
1 page of the Ghosted Planes (there is 1 in your submission, but there should be a total of 2 pages)
-
1 page of Ellipses in Planes (there is 1 in your submission, but there should be a total of 2 pages)
-
1 page of rotated boxes exercise.
If you’ve already completed these but didn’t get uploaded, then please reply to this message with a link to those exercises. Otherwise, please tackle the exercises and reply (there’s no deadline, so please take your time!). Nevertheless, in the meantime, I’ll go ahead and take a look at your other exercises.
Your lines are mostly confident and smooth. There are a few instances where they wobble or arc slightly as you finish your line towards your marked target. There are some of these instances through your box exercises as well. It’s ok to be a little off accuracy at this point. It’s better to have a smooth, confident stroke that is a little off trajectory than that of a wobbly line that is accurate. Here’s a little more information regarding the different success levels of lines.
Ellipses are overall smooth and confident. A couple of ellipses on the planes exercise are significantly looser than your other ellipses, which may be due to drawing the ellipse fast. But don’t be discouraged, ellipses take lots of practice and mileage, and you’ll learn the speed that work for you. There are a couple on the funnels page that flatten out a bit on one side. The ellipses on the funnels page are generally aligned to the minor axis, although there are a few that are misaligned. Also, it’s great to see you are drawing through your ellipses. However, some ellipses are drawn through too many times. 2-3 times through, no less and no more, will suffice.
In the boxes, there are a couple of lines that are repeated/corrected or where the trajectory was changed in the middle. No matter how inaccurate the line looks, don’t reinforce or correct it. Stick with the initial mark you lay down. Remember to execute the line with confidence at once after you’ve ghosted a few times.
Rough perpective:
The horizontal lines are generally parallel to the horizon line, and the vertical lines perpendicular to it. There are a few lines that veer of slightly diagonally. Also, on the first page, a couple of boxes’ convergence lines weren’t drawn at all or incorrectly drawn back to the horizon line. Here are just a few examples that I’m seeing (the blue is where lines were missing, and aqua is where incorrect convergence lines were drawn).
Organic perspective:
Nice job keeping the boxes generally on the path you’ve laid out. For the most part, the boxes are getting smaller along the path, depicting that the boxes are moving away from the viewer. There are some boxes that appear to get larger, though. In terms of perspective, there are a set of lines on the plane that diverge, making the plane further away from us appear larger. But no worries, you will get to explore this in more detail in the 250 box challenge.
So with that, before I mark this lesson as complete, please reply and include the missing pages as aforementioned (again, on your own time, no rush!). Otherwise, you’ve done a pretty good job!
