All assigned homework is done!
I did my best but still, I made a lot of mistakes, especially about boxes.
I just wonder whether there is any problem with my approach to handling those homework, i.e., not the quality of my work, but the method I took to finish it. I cannot achieve perfection right now but I want to know whether I am in the right direction or not.
Thanks!
Line work for the most part is pretty good. There is some wobble, but with future studies (especially if you go on with the 250 boxes challenge), this should tighten up. Ellipses are tightly looped for a lot of them, but there are a significant amount that have a wildness/wobble to them. Be careful of those (it may be because you notice that they aren't going to hit neighboring ellipses or the frame, so you try to compensate, or that you want to hit them, but as a result, they are wobbling).
For the rough perspective homework, you need to extend your depth lines back to the horizon line in a different color pen. This is to help you see how far off you may have estimated the vanishing point.
Overall, your method is fine (nothing out of the ordinary except the rough perspective) and you seem to have a pretty good grasp of the line work basics.
Next Steps:
Try the 250 boxes challenge next.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
