Hi! So, first things first, I’ll recommend pushing the camera a little closer to the pages, if you can help it. So! The superimposed lines look good, though it’d have been better if you'd tried a bunch of different lengths, not just the one. There’s no arcing lines, either. Please be a little more mindful of the instructions, next time. When in doubt, it’s always a good idea to mimic the composition of the example homework, which you’ll find at the bottom of each exercise page. Moving on to the ghosted lines, they look good. One thing that stands out to me, especially in the planes exercise, is that your lines will sometimes stop short, and you’ll either limp to the finish line, or extend them later. This is discouraged. Accuracy is not a concern at this stage- confidence is. If a line is straight, and confident, it passes. Whether it stops short of the end point, or shoots past it, is irrelevant. I’ll also recommend not redoing an incorrect line, or crossing things out. Finally, and it’s a little hard to tell if you’re doing this, but if you’re not, remember that all lines need start/end points. This includes the non-diagonal center lines of the planes, too.
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.
