Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
11:57 PM, Saturday January 2nd 2021
All done! Please give me critique and let me know if I can move on to the 250 box challenge!
Superimposed Lines
Ghosted Lines
Ghosted Planes
Tables of Ellipses
Generally pretty good! Some of these look a litte rushed. Make sure to ghost your ellipses, I find it helps with accuracy.
They look confident and fliud though, well done.
Ellipses in Planes
Ellipses in Funnels
your minor axis is good, each ellipse is split evenly in half
They look confident, and drawn through twice, good job. Watch out that some of your ellipses are getting pointier at one end than the other, almost like eggs.
Plotted Perspective
Rough Perspective
Rotated Boxes
There are tricks you can use to make this thing easier, like using the neighbouring edges to help keep things aligned.
Organic Perspective
Pretty good! The perspective on some of these is off, but you'll get more than enough practice on them soon enough.
Remeber to use the size of the boxes to help give a sense of distance. Small boxes far away, big boxes closer to the viewer. You've varied them a bit, but you can push this a lot more to help give your composition depth.
Next Steps:
Well done!
Move on to the 250 box challenge!
Incorporate lesson 1 exercises into your warmups.
Thanks so much for the critique! I will move on to the 250 box challenge and look over the rotated boxes again after that!
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
