Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
2:16 PM, Tuesday May 26th 2020
Sorry if some of the photos are slightly blurry, but I think it's clear enough for evaluation.
Overall good job, but you forgot to trace your lines back to the vp in rough perspective. Do it and then post it here again, ok?
Superimposed lines may need an attention in your warmup sessions. Remember to not grind. I'm saying that because you made 2 pages of rotated boxes, this exercise is meant to be an intro to a concept and it's expected to produce bad results.
Anyways, just use a ruler to trace your lines back in rough perspective, post it here as reply and you are ok to go!
Next Steps:
Finish the rough perspective exercises.
Thanks for the evaluation.
Here is the rough perspective exercise with the additional lines.
Nice. You may need to give this exercise a little attention too in your warmups, it will get better with time.
Have fun with the box challenge.
Hopefully I'll get done with this challenge at some point. 250 boxes sounds like a lot.
Anyways, thanks again for the evaluation.
My tip is to be patient and accept that it will take you some time, at least a month but probably more. Don't need to rush, this is the type of the things that we cannot skip :)
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.
