Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
3:50 PM, Thursday March 31st 2022
Hope i did things right, feedback is apprecieted
Hi!
The Superimposed Lines : No wobble lines but there are some fraying lines at the start point which should have not been.
The Ghosted Lines : They seems pretty clean. However there are quite few lines which doesn't stop at the end point. They go over. Not only draw the confident and straight line but stop at the point. Therefore we see this kind of line in the ghost planes as well.
Your Table of Ellipses are more tight and connected to each other than the ghost planes of ellipses. Your ellipses in planes are quite loose. Try to attach the line of ellipsis to the line of plane.
Funnel: They are quite symmetrical.
All kind of your boxes are so nice.
Next Steps:
Find 2 agreements and move on to the 250 box challenges. Keep in mind what I mention in your work.
Thanks
Ty so much for having time to critique my drawing, fore the ghosted line/plane i really struggle to finish the line to the end point, the tecnique suggested in lesson 1 work but i have trouble using it, i think more i do and really put time on theme should resolve right??(or so i hope). I will do more work on ellipses. Again ty lily for spend your time for me, you really helped me hope you hav a good day :))) (sorry if did some error im not native english speaker)
Hi!
Since we draw everyday and use the exercises as warm-up by using the ghost method, our lines and confidence will come. So you are right, spend your time to do it. It will improve your markmaking.
Have a nice day!
Michael Hampton is one of my favourite figure drawing teachers, specifically because of how he approaches things from a basis of structure, which as you have probably noted from Drawabox, is a big priority for me. Gesture however is the opposite of structure however - they both exist at opposite ends of a spectrum, where structure promotes solidity and structure (and can on its own result in stiffness and rigidity), gesture focuses on motion and fluidity, which can result in things that are ephemeral, not quite feeling solid and stable.
With structure and spatial reasoning in his very bones, he still provides an excellent exploration of gesture, but in a visual language in something that we here appreciate greatly, and that's not something you can find everywhere.
