I "started" drawing like a year ago and not too seriously, now i want to learn the fundamentals so here am I.
Also, I'm 15 and I guess I can still take this lessons even if it said it was for adults, I hope I can start soon with the 250 boxes challenges if my homework is good enough, thanks!????????????
You might want to practice ghosting lines more for warmups, sometimes you just arch your lines or just seem to wobble a bit mostly in the boxes exercise at the end. Besides that its really good, you seem to have a pretty good idea of 3d space, at least compared to me :p.
Yeah you're right, I started today from rough perspective and I didn't want up at all, I should do it, thanks a lot!
and sorry for the bunch of "??????" I don't know what happened
Very little fraying at the tail ends of the lines exercise, nice going! Scrolling through the exercises, it almost seems as though your confidence in creating strokes and lines decreases the more complex the homework gets. Everything up until the boxes/perspective exercises feels loose and confident, which is great. Is the focus on the requirements for perspective perhaps drawing your concentration away from making those clean, loose lines?
I already said this to someone else as well, but as you are really good at creating those kinds of lines between two points, maybe plotting the corners of the perspective boxes down on paper and then drawing lines between them (for the short term until you feel more confident) help convey more confidence in box drawing?
Then again, we gotta dive head-first into that 250 box challenge after this, so it might not matter...we'll all have perfect boxes by the end of that!
Thank you so much! I stepped away from drawabox a little bit but I am going to start with the 250 boxes challenge soon.
Hey! I know it's been a while but would you mind marking my submission as completed? ty in
Congrats on finishing your homework :) I just want to say that I'm impressed by the quality of this submission!
Lines
It's great that you did a lot of curves, they can get particularly difficult. Moving on, I see wobbling in your lines. This means you've been slowing down and valuing accuracy over confidence. Remember that smooth, straight lines are always better than shaky ones. Other than that, your lines are good. Keep it up!
Ellipses
Moving onto ellipses, I don't have much to say other than be mindful of overlapping. In some of your ellipses in planes they are crossing the plane borders, but that can be fixed down the line. Along with this, be mindful of deforming ellipses to fit into the plane since here it looks like you're trying to fix it. On funnels, be mindful of the minor axis as I see one that are close to being aligned but don't cut the ellipses in symmetrical halves.
Boxes
Since I've already addressed wobbly lines, I'd like to point out that you shouldn't redraw your lines. No matter how bad it turns out, consider it done and move on. Your rotated boxes are good because you're showing rotation. It's a really hard exercise, so pat yourself on the back for that one :) I also don't see any major issues with your organic perspective pages but for your last quadrant you could've drawn bigger boxes at the front of your line to show the impression that they are close to us and that the further back we are the smaller they get.
This is the end of my critique- I am marking this complete!
Next Steps:
Feel free to continue onto 250 boxes!
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.
