Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
3:13 PM, Friday June 19th 2020
Hi guys! Here is my full lesson 1 submission and since I'm a total beginner every feedback will be extremely appreciated!
I would say you did a very good job overall. Your lines are straight and confident. I noticed that they sometimes have a bit of overshoot, which can be normal and is something you could look out for. But just in case, make sure you're taking time with every line you're doing.
Your ellipses are confident and smooth in general but keep in mind that the ellipses must be drawn through 2 to 3 times, (2 times preferably). Your ellipses already look quite accurate so in the future try to go through them only 2 times.
You did a good job overall with the boxes as well, just don't forget not to repeat lines even if they're wrong, as repeating them makes the drawing messier. On organic perspective you should start with the corner that is going to be closest to the viewer. The resulting Y shape often has angles greater than 90° between each line. On some of the boxes you have an angle less than 90° which resulted in a wonky perspective.
Next Steps:
First of all, congratulations on finishing lesson 1! Your next step is the 250 box challenge.
Good luck on the box challenge, and keep up the good work!
Hi Robo!
Thank you for your feedback, I'll keep in mind all your suggestions.
The ellipses were a hard part for me and i believe that's why i felt the need to ghost them a lot and I draw through them more then 2-3 times. I'll work to improve all this aspects in the future.
Thank you again for putting your effort in helping me!
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
