Hello!

Just finished Lesson 1. I made some mistakes in the later homework exercises so I put a cross on the lines I thought were wrong. Thanks for taking some time out of your day to look at my thing!!

in your rotated boxes exercise, there is very little rotation on the boxes. https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/d73eea49.jpg

however, it looks like your spacing is consistent.

this should help you a lot for the rotated boxes exercise: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/368870697742630912/715669112222908466/zfr3o7xneog31.png

a small nitpick about your organic perspective is that a lot of your boxes have the same original "Y" shape and as a result you made a lot of boxes with a very similar rotation. since there's supposed to be two pages of this exercise, one page of organic perspective missing. you should do the second page with last point in mind, and i recommend you try this tool out to help you come up with random "Y" shapes: https://tasty-tangy-meeting.glitch.me/

once you're done, you should have a better understanding of boxes in 3D space and i would recommend you try out the rotated boxes again especially with the additional help i shared with you at the beginning.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll make another attempt at the rotated box and organic perspective exercises with this in mind!

Edit: Uploaded my second organic perspective page (that I somehow missed???)

it looks quite a bit better now! interesting how the rotation of your vertical boxes is better than your horizontal ones. i'd say you're ready to move on now

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

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.
