Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
10:15 PM, Tuesday March 8th 2022
this was a challenge but i really enjoyed i already feel like i learned a lot
Hi Senpai i am trollfromhell and i am gonna give u my critique for your finished exercise
1.lines
your super imposed lines are fraying on both ends and i think u should take time for ghosting before u stroke ur lines but ur ghosted lines are really good
2.elipses in planes
make sure when u draw elipses u draw it through twice and use ghosting method to estimate your elipses also keep the lines of elipses close together and it takes lots of elipses to be draw to get clean looking elipses
3.tables of elipses
just keep the lines of elipses close
4.funnels
the minor axis (the line in the middle) should cut ellipses in 2 symetrical halves.
5.plotted perspective
they look really clean and neat i like it so much you are doing a great job
6.rough perspective
your width and heights lines are great!!! they are perpendicular to the horizontal line
7.rotated boxes
i see some of the boxes are not rotating but i guess it's okay because this is your first time to face drawing in perspective like this so i reccomend u to check this out if you wanna get good at drawing rotated boxes https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/368870697742630912/715669112222908466/zfr3o7xneog31.png
8.organic perspective
yes these boxes look great because the perspective is not too extreme so it's still easier for the viewers to look at the rotation of the boxes,good job
u should move to 250 boxes exercise
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
