Sorry! I was browsing other's homework submissions and didn't think to take a picture of the ghosted planes before turning them into Ellipses in planes. So the ghosted planes and ellipses in planes are currently sharing the same photos.
Thanks for any feedback!
Lines
They are pretty confident in general, and they improve over the set, but there are still by the end of it some wobbly lines. Don't forget that drawing confident lines is more important than drawing them accurately, so focus on confidence over accuracy always.
I can also see a bit of arching in some of your lines, specially the long ones. This can happen because you might not be using your shoulder as your main pivot, check you're doing it. Another thing that can help to fix this is to try to arch consciously to the the opposite side when drawing the lines.
Ellipses
Here as well mainly a good job. Only issue is that some ellipses are a bit wobbly. Don't forget to prioritize confidence over accuracy on ellipses too.
On funnels for some reason you've stopped drawing through the ellipses. No matter which exercise you're in you'll need to draw 2-3 times through them.
Boxes
On boxes your lines are getting a little less confident. Approach lines as you did on the previous exercises. It doesn't matter if they're in a box or in a plane, the approach is the same.
You're also having a little bit of trouble mantaining height lines vertical and horizontal lines parallel to the horizon. It's hard, but keep trying to do your best on it. Don't forget you can replace dots before drawing a line if you feel that the previous dot was misplaced.
On organic perspective the main issue is that you're repeating lines. Don't forget that no matter how off a line is, you shouldn't repeat it. Repeating it will only make the drawing messier, so just move on.
Perspective on the boxes has issues, but you'll work on it on the box challenge, so nothing to worry about.
Overall good work, keep it up and good luck with the box challenge!
Next Steps:
First of all, congratulations on finishing lesson 1! Your next step is the box challenge.
As I marked this as complete, you are now qualified to critique lesson 1 submissions.
-Doing critiques is a way of learning and solidifying concepts. I can atest to that after having done hundreds of critiques. There were a lot of concepts that I did not understand, and thanks to critiquing I started understanding them. Which made me learn a lot more throughout the course.
-Another thing is that as the number of current submissions is super high. If you do some critiques, those would be less critiques I'd have to do before reaching your next submissions, so you'd get your critiques faster. The new system ordering submissions also makes that the more agrees your critiques have the higher you'll be placed in the queue of submissions, which will improve your chances of getting critiques faster as well.
It's totally optional of course, I won't force anyone to do critiques. But me and the other people who are critiquing would be super grateful if you gave it a shot.
Good luck on the box challenge, and keep up the good work!
NOTE: here's a quick guide on critiquing lesson 1 submissions.
There are a few people that feel hesitant to critique because they feel they aren't ready to, so hopefully it'll help you in case you are one of those people.
Even though you just critiqued it, I really appreciate it. This is the first time after drawing on my own for about a year that anyone has given me specific feedback on how I can improve my drawings. I may want some practice implementing the feedback you've given me in the 250 box challenge, and personal for fun drawings, before critiquing but I plan to read your guide and try to start giving critiques in the next couple weeks, especially if I can improve more from it too. This made my day :)
Glad I could help :D
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.
