Lesson 2: Contour Lines, Texture and Construction
9:48 AM, Thursday April 30th 2020
Another late submission (I did these almost 2 month ago), I certainly improved since but its always instructive to get feedback from review.
Thank you very much!
In the arrows exercise. I don't think the illusion of depth in seen. I think there is too little difference in size between the front end and back end.
I think the line strokes need to be more confident. I see so many overlapping lines over each other. Please try to avoid that.
Also in the textures exercise you could tried to increase the transition between the light and dark part. I is transitioning too fast.
While drawing cones and pyramids. You don't have any guide lines. Those guide lines will help you how the pyramid and cylinder is present in the space.
I think overall you have done good work . I liked the construction exercise. I will mark the exercise as completed.
Could you please review mine too.
Next Steps:
I think onwards to lessons 3. But have a look at the 250 cylinder drawing challenge too.
To add to what rita said, on your form intersections you got some wobbly lines. Remember that you should always prioritize confidence over accuracy.
You also got some issues with divergences as well. Main objective of this exercise is to draw forms with consistent an correct foreshortening, careful with it.
On organic forms you're drawing complex forms, stick to the simple ones like in the normal organic form exercises. 2 identical balls connected by a tube of consistent width.
You also have some shadows that are sticking to the forms. Remember they should follow the form of the object they're being casted on.
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
