Hey guys, please let give me some critique on my work! The ghosted planes exercise is serially located at the start of the image thread, I was unable to arrange that within the expected order. Thanks a lot!

Hello! I'm Joxmarf and I will be reviewing your Lesson 1

Superimposed Lines

There's some fraying. Remember to place your pen mindfully before doing the stroke.

Ghosted Lines

These are good. Some of your lines arc a bit. If you arer drawing from your shoulder, you could intentionally try to arc your stroke a bit in the opposite direction to counteract the natural curve.

Ghosted Planes and Ellipses

Some of your ellipses were only drawn through once. Your ellipses seem confidently drawn.

Table of Ellipses

Your ellipses are tight, but many of them aren't touching each other. Remember that you must avoid to keep them 'floating'.

Funnels

It is difficult, but remember to do your best to align them to the minor axis.

Plotted Perspective

Well done.

Rough Perspective

Well done.

Rotated boxes

You missed some boxes. Remember that, while the boxes in the corners are challenging, they are important and fear of 'ruining' the page will hold you back. Complete the exercise before moving onto the 250 challenge.

Organic Perspective

Well done. Your boxes have a shallow foreshortening, which helps keep the sense of scale consistent.

Next Steps:

FInish the rotated boxes exercise before moving onto the 250 box challenge. Add these exercises to your warmup pool. Good job!

Hey thank you so much for taking all your time out, I'll surely keep this in mind before I move on to the 250 box challenge. Will rectify my mistakes and get some more practice!

Orconomics by J. Zachary Pike

Orconomics by J. Zachary Pike

This is one of my favourite books. It's a fantasy-comedy romp, and the world that J. Zachary Pike has created honestly takes my breath away. There are laughs at every turn, but the story is not without its heart wrenching moments - some for which I have yet to fully forgive the author.

If you're at all curious about the kinds of nonsense I read, or just need something new to sink your teeth into, this is one I can highly recommend. On top of that, being self-published by an indie author, it's the kind of thing where your individual support can go a long way.

P.S: The audiobook, with narration from Doug Tisdale, is especially good, and elevates the story in ways I can't rightly describe.
