Here is my critique...

In Superimposed Lines and Ghosted Lines, your lines are fine...but in the other parts of the lesson your lines are wobbly. This is also happening to your ellipses. You need to be confident in your muscle memory (which you can build up by ghosting) and draw your lines in one quick motion.

You failed to follow one of the directions you need to do in the plotted perspective, rough perspective and the organic perspective exercises. You need to do them within separate frames on the same page like so so you can get enough experience with the concepts the lessons introduce.

In the rotated boxes, you have 4 extra boxes drawn at the top, bottom, left and right, which are unneeded. Other than that it's fine.

The reason you need to do the rotated boxes and organic perspective exercises is to get you to think about the concepts introduced in them (which you are going to utilize and improve upon in the 250 Box Challenge).

Next Steps:

  • 1 page of plotted perspective

  • 1 page of rough perspective

  • 1 page of organic perspective

And then you can move on to the 250 Box Challenge.

Do ellipses in planes and table of ellipses as warm ups during the challenge and future lessons.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Thank you for your critique. I appreciate your time and input.

I wasn't sure if I had to reply to this with the 3 pages + the 250 box challenge, or only the 3 pages I failed to do the right way.

I went back and re-read the instructions and I truly missed the whole "2-3 frames on one paper" part for these exercises. Whoops.

This time I was more patient with organic perspective exercise and enjoyed it more.

Thanks again.

You are welcome!

The 3 pages are good. Now you should move on to the 250 box challenge to improve your boxes. It's going to be huge grind but persevere! It's worth doing!

Next Steps:

Move on to the 250 Box Challenge.

Do ellipses in planes and table of ellipses as warm ups during the challenge and future lessons.

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
