Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
8:47 AM, Friday August 14th 2020
Finished all the lesson 1 homework, feeling accomplished! (Even if it all looks bad hahaha.) Feedback welcome!
Hello coconutcake!
Lines - Your lines are looking really straight, especially in the ghosted planes. Your next step is probably to improve accuracy of the lines so they intersect both dots ("level 2" as described in the lesson) without any wobbling happening. I'd recommend on submissions like ghosted lines you try to fill up the page more.
Ellipses - I think the biggest thing to work on is making tighter ellipses, which just comes from practice and gaining a steady hand imo. Keep doing tables of ellipses to work on this because tighter ellipses will definitely help in lesson 2 and later. Also, do not try to correct your ellipse as you go around. If it ends up in the wrong place or shape, just follow through so it doesn't end up super loose. A lot of your marks are really smooth, which is great, keep it up! Good alignment on your funnels, keep practicing gradually changing the degree of your ellipses. Your alignment is a little weaker for the corner ones, so keep that in mind.
Boxes - Your rough perspective looks really nice, good job! Rotated boxes also looks good. On the organic perspective, it's a good idea to vary the shapes of your boxes more. They don't all need to be cube-like. Good job having all your Y's have angles above 90 degrees, that's really important!
Best of luck in the future!
Next Steps:
You're ready for the 250 box challenge
Keep practicing these exercises as warm-ups and occasionally refreshing the lesson material!
Thank you for the feedback! :D Very helpful. I appreciate.
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
