Set me straight RE: Lesson 1 homework

4:34 AM, Monday October 19th 2020

Am I supposed to DEFILE my precious Ghosted Planes homework with ellipses before I actually get to submit it? Should I scan it first to submit as a Ghosted Planes pages, and then practice Ellipses in Planes, then scan and submit it all together?

I'm definitely reading to much into this right? Guys?

Hi! Yeah, you are supposed to add the ellipses on the same page you've used to draw the Ghosted Planes.

You'll be drawing hundreds of those pages as a part of your warm-up, so don't feel too bad if the ellipses "ruin" your planes. Draw a Box homework is not ment to end up on the fridge :)

Thank you! I'll have to get started on that today then. Do I scan the planes empty, or all together? Maybe it doesn't matter?

I have been focusing on NOT grinding or perfecting, which is my nature, but I still definitely needed this reminder.

I know how you feel. I'm doing the 250 box challenge and It took me more than 100 boxes to finally get comfortable with my mistakes.

Resisting the urge to grind is very important though: you'll not get any benefit from grinding the exercises and you'll burn out. The whole course is structured with this idea that students should not repeat the exercises unless requested by the reviewer.

Now back on topic: you can submit the page before and after the ellipses or just one page with the ellipses on it. It doesn't matter.

I had the same doubt and decided to do the latter as you can see from my submission.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
