Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
9:47 PM, Monday September 13th 2021
Hello my friends! This lesson 1 took me a month to finish. I also wanted to thank Cuvid for pointing out that I uploaded it wrong
Hi!
Super nice work. It seems that you had a problem with your upload : it misses one page of "Rough Perspective", one of "ghosted planes", and one of "ellipses in ghosted planes".
Every page you did looks like serious work and solid confidence in line marking.
If you have done the missing pages, you should go through the 250 box challenge since you don't have nothing more to get from lesson 1.
Next Steps:
Super solid work, you really should go through the next step : 250 boxes challenge!
Thanks for pointing it out my friend!
man, I think I got confused with the photos
I already completed all the lesson, but I guess I
should re-upload it again. It says that I need it for the completion badge.
I appreciate the critique and compliment!
gotta move to 250 box challenge!
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
