Hello, I'll take a look at your assignment. The superimposed lines are good. I recomend taking a little more time lining up your initial points. The strokes are a little shaky but that's likely the result of drawing from the shoulder for the first time. For the ghosted lines, I recommend drawing a few longer strokes in the future to help practice. Overall they look good though. Likewise the planes are good.

Moving onto the ellipses, the confidence that you draw most of them with is good. You also manage to hit a good variety of shapes. However, many of your edges overlap with the neighbor which seems to be a deliberate decision in many spots. You should try to hit the edges of each neighbor and edges of the boxes to practice drawing the ellipse. I recommend ghosting them a few times beforehand to get better at that. The funnels are pretty good besides the aforementioned issues.

Finally, the boxes. Your hatched lines in the plotted perspectives are a little rushed at time. If you're going to hatch you should apply the same level of ghosting that you do for other lines. Your rough perspective does a good job of starting to hone in on the VP. It's true that your rotated boxes aren't perfect but this exercise is intentionally hard. I can see that you're making progress on understanding the perspective. Just remember to focus on the edge boxes continuing to curl. Your top right one has the right orientation, it just extends too much. Your organic perspective is not bad. Just take your time a little on the boxes and don't be afraid to aim for larger scales (i.e. bigger boxes in the foreground and even smaller in the background).

I think you did well on this assignment. You should do the 250 box challenge to practice further before hitting Lesson 2.

Thank you so much! Very helpful information...i never thought about ghosting the hatched lines..seems so obvious, i do indeed rush them. I've been practicing these exercises a bit before a drawing session so i've been improving. Thanks again!

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
