Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
4:08 PM, Wednesday February 12th 2020
Hey,
Here's my take on lesson 1.
Looking for constructive criticism.
Wish you a great day.
Hi Tem,
Good work! Here is a short critique (other members of the community can developp if they wish...):
Lines
You've done a great work, precise and confident.
Ellipses
Great job but you have to increase your acuracy. You may perhaps slow down a little and especially don't forget to ghost before drawing it's very useful! Remember than each side must be tangent to the ellipse.
Boxes
Nice work that will have the opportunity to improve during the 250 box challenge...
Very nice try on rotated boxes!
Next Steps:
Next the 250 box challenge!
Remember to repeat lines and ellipses exercises during warmup during this challenge!
You may need to focus on ghosting more before drawing your ellipses.
Remember that the main thing is to draw confident lines: If it's wobbly, speed up! If it's not accurate, slow down! If you struggle at it, ghost more! ;-)
Congratulations! :-)
Hi Loopkin,
Thanks for the critique, I appreciate you taking the time to give a feedback :)
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.
