Hello!
I finally completed the challenge. Some of the last pages I did on the train (I swear I will not do it again). I did no extra emphasis on the lines in the front. Some lines got unintentionally thicker than others. I still do not totally get the angles right.. I am looking forward to your review!
Kind regards,
Tammo
Hey there Blixxen!! Congratulations on getting through the entire challenge!
So, really strong work with your line work. It is fairly neat and readable, with just a little bit of a wobble at the start but this only improves over the course of the challenge. Your accuracy and confidence clearly benefit a lot from the mileage so nice work!
As for your convergences - these also show a great deal of improvement. At the start, you tend to have very shallow foreshortening, or the lines even diverge instead of converge. This does show a good amount of improvement towards the end which is great. The correction lines start consistently moving towards their shared vanishing points. Good job here!
I'm going to link a few extra notes - we provide them at the end of every challenge as a matter of course. They go over the angle of each set of parallel lines as they approach the box and how keeping an eye on this relationship could improve your convergences. Also, considering each line in relation to the lines with which it shares a vanishing point rather than the lines with which it shares a plane or a corner could do the same.
Next Steps:
Happy to mark this as complete and send you on to Lesson 2!
Hi Sluggydragon,
Thank you for the review and the advice. I'll do my best to carry on to the next lesson. Have nice day!
Kind regards,
Blixxen
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
