Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
9:51 AM, Monday May 22nd 2023
Hello,
This is my first time drawing.
Please Let me know If I did anything wrong.
Thank you.
Hello and welcome to Drawabox. Congratulations on completing lesson 1!
Lines:
Superimposed lines look good, just be sure that the starting point is the same for all of your lines.
There is some wobbliness, I can see it in ghosted planes. You also seem to be going past the second dot that you draw. Not a huge problem but just try to lift your pen/fineliner off of the page as soon as you hit the second dot. Also remember that you are looking for smoothness not accuracy.
Ghosted planes are pretty solid.
Ellipses:
Tables of ellipses are good, I like the variety of the ellipses, but remember that you need to draw threw them 2-3 times.
Ellipses in planes are good as well. they are confident and smooth, for the most part.
Funnels are hard but it seems like you have gotten a good grasp on them.
Boxes:
Overall, great job. I think you are clear to move onto the 250 box challenge. Good luck!a
Next Steps:
250 box challenge
Thank you for your critique!
I'll work on making my lines smoother.
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
