I've been working hard on my arching / wobbling lines as a warmup exercise since I still get them from time to time :)
also, if you can critique my lesson 1 here so I could officially move on to lesson 2 and get a badge. :D Thank you so much for looking at my work and have a nice day! :)
Hi Chaeryeong,
I've checked your submission,
I was looking for a lesson 3 to critique and I found yours, though I saw that you haven't got your 250 box challenge critique yet. So, I'm gonna go over this challenge today, and probably tomorrow or one of the next days I'm gonna review your lesson 3 submission.
Now, on to the actual Challenge.
By seeing at your work I can see that you got what this challenge was about, your convergence get better as you progress through the lesson and also your boxes get bigger and more confident. Though these points are not perfect, I wanted to give you some advice on them.
First, I see that you struggle more with the back corner than with the others, welcome to the club. Check this method of construction the next time you decide to warm up with some boxes!
I really like how precise and confident you were with your lines (including line weight) during the challenge, I wish you had more space to just make bigger boxes so could get more practice making longer lines. However, over the challenge I can see that sometimes your lines are not reaching (by a little) the corners they have to. This alone is not a big issue, but they show that you are putting so much attention on the precision of the line, this should not be your primary focus. Remember the golden rule, Confidence>Accuracy, don't be afraid to overshoot your lines, practice confidence over anything else, with time you will get better at being precise.
To be more practical about it, try out doing bigger boxes (one or two per page) to practice longer strokes, and don't focus on were they hit the mark or not, focus on making long, confident lines.
I'm gonna mark this challenge as completed! Keep it up.
Next Steps:
Move on to lesson 3
Thank you so much for the help. Good news! Drawing longer lines are part of my warmups and I'll surely incorporate the boxes in my routine. :) I'll o ahead and check the method you've link. Thanks again and have a nice day! :)
I'm glad you found it useful!
Keep it up!
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.
