hello I agree with everything Pointveteran has already mentioned. Let me try to give you some advice on how to improve:

Lines/Elipses

Issue: Lines being frayed on both sides

How to correct this: after you are finished with your ghosting make an intensional effort to pay attention to where your placing your pen, then execute your line.

Issue: wobbly lines/ellipses.

How to correct this: Make sure your drawing with your shoulder and not your arm/wrist. Before I execute a line/ellipse I always think "Okay, I am going to use my shoulder to draw this line/ellipse" Its almost become a montra at this point for me XD maybe it can help you.

Rotated Box Exercise

Issue: Its hard to tell but I think you miss counted the number of boxes on each side. In the middle section I'm counting 4 to the right and 3 to the left. Also your missing boxes in the top left and the bottom right quadrants.

How to correct this: Take a look at Uncomfortable's example https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/example make sure you have the proper number of boxes.

I would like you to do 1 page of the ghosted planes exercise again.

post in in this thread and I'll mark your lesson as complete.

Next Steps:

I would like you to do 1 page of the ghosted planes exercise again.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hey Burry,

I'm seeing improvement between this page and the last. I wanted to point out to you a really good line that you ghosted (the blue arrow).

This is exactly what you should be aiming for every time you draw a line.

  • Smooth and no hesitation

  • accurate on one side, but misses the point on the other side (accuracy improves with time)

On the other hand there are some cases where you miss you points on both sides (arrows in red)

Remember you can control you starting point. Its simply where you place you pen. Get in the habit of taking note where you place your pen before you execute.

I'm going to mark you as complete, but I would still like you to practice your lines during you warmups.

Good luck in the 250 box challenge,

Next Steps:

During warmups focus on ghosting and plane ghosting exercises .

Continue on to the 250 box challenge

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.
