Hey there! :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to review my homework!

It's been years since I put pen to paper to draw, so I initially struggled with everything.. Especially finding the best angle to draw the lines, and I hated how the corner of the page felt against my hand. But by the funnel exercise (I think), I've gotten used to it.

I took the advice to complete each exercise to the best of your abilities instead of striving for perfection to heart. At first, I didn't really understand how to ghost the ellipses. I was making the motion but didn't know what to look out for. At times it was super frustrating. But by the end of the exercise, I did figure out how to ghost them, and they turned out way better. I also do the ghosted planes and ellipses in planes exercise as a warm-up, and after finishing lesson 1, they already look much cleaner.

The organic perspective exercise is where I really struggled. Visualizing the rotated boxes and translating that onto paper was difficult. That's why a couple of them are facing the same direction. 'Learning by doing' didn't work out there. Since the instruction said it's probably not in our current ability to complete anyways, I thought I'd finish and submit it to see if it's good enough to move forward. ^^"

For the line weight, I wasn't trying to add any to the boxes at all. The only thing I can imagine is that I might have drawn the small boxes too slowly, and that's why they turned out like this. I'll definitely look out for what went wrong there!

Do you think I can move forward to the 250 box challenge or should I redo any of the homework?

hello!

I think you can move forward with the next exercise. I forgot to mark lessson as complete. Sorry about that!

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

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.
