Lesson 2: Contour Lines, Texture and Construction
7:11 PM, Saturday October 2nd 2021
hey guys, just completed the lesson2 , i hope my work is good enough to move for the next lesson , cant wait to start lesson 3! thanks you!
Hello Kaneki
I'll review your submission today.
Before starting, you have switched pens through out the lesson, now I'd don't know what kind of blue pen that was, but you should stick to fineliner pens.
Anyway onto the critique
In general you did a splendid work!
Arrows: they have a good flow, and are consistent in size. Well done in making them bigger as they get closer to the viewer's perspective!
Organic forms: Good working in drawing simple shapes, the forms are also consistent in their size for the most part, although a few of them have a smaller "back/rear" end compared with the other ends. So next time try to consciously make them even in both sides.
About the degrees of the ellipses you have also done well in general, although maybe try to accentuate this the next time you draw them.
Good work in hooking the lines too!
Texture: I'm very impressed by your texture exercises!
In the analysis exercise you did particularly well in drawing the transition from dark to bright, I think it is most well done in the analysis of the wood, anyhow other than that you also focused on drawing cast shadows which came out very well!
Good job!
On the dissection part: good job in keeping the forms consistent, here you also improved by making the ends of both sides even in size! well done!
Good job also for wrapping the texture around the forms and in breaking the silhouette!
From intersections:
Great job! the forms are well drawn, and intersect well with one another.
Organic intersections:
Good work! the forms are simple, and wrap well on each other, good job also with the cast shadow!
Next Steps:
As you have noticed It was more a confirmation that you did very well in your submission, I couldn't find any mistake really, but your work is solid, so sorry if maybe you didn't get any practical advice. Anyway I think you should continue to the next lesson!
Well done indeed!
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
