Hey Moonwright_Art! I'll be going over your work today.

Lines

  • These superimosed lines are confidentely drawn from shoulder. They're fraying at one of the ends & it's totally normal at this stage, these will improve over time with enough practice, so make so sure to continue doing them in your warm ups.

  • Your ghosted lines are smooth & meeting the other end nicely & that resulted in well drawn planes.

Ellipses

  • Nice work on drawning though the ellipses multiple times & keeping them smooth in table of ellipes & ellipses in planes. Some times they're not touching the edges of the table, it may've happened because you didn't spend enough amount of time ghosting before placing the marks. You also haven't tried the other recommended table with curves, see https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/12/step3. Consider doing them in the revisions.

  • Most of ellipses in the funnels are snuggly fit. Sometimes the minor axis are not cutting these ellipses in half , though I can see you've tried your best, so good work but you should try to improve the placement of these minor axis(It will help you a lot in future lessons).

Boxes

Don't hide you're mistakes with other tools, everyone makes mistakes & it's part of the learning process(& even after that), they also help us in providing better critique to improve your art.

  • Your work on plotted perspective are done as instructed for most part. Sometimes the back edge are not entirely/nearly perpendicular to the horizon line, this might've happened because of change in convergence due to little carelessness while plotting the lines toward the vanishing point. Since you're supposed to use ruler, take your time and plot without rushing.

  • I can see that you're lines in rough perspective are almost converging towards their vanishing points. Sometimes they're way off, since the vanishing point is so close to the box, do even more ghosting toward them & you'll have better convergence.

    • The edges of the boxes here are sometimes little wobbly, again ghosting will help improve them as well, so take your time & don't rush.
  • Very good work on drawing through the forms in the rotated boxes, it's quite tough & confusing but your attempt is good. Sure they're obviously not perfect(because again it's quite hard to achieve) but the rotation of the box themselves is gradual & I can see you've the grasp of them in 3D.

    • Box challenge will help you alot in improving on this.
  • You've conveyed the depth with these boxes in oragnic perspective. Sometimes the edges of those boxes are diverging from their vanishing point, but don't worry you'll have a lot of time to improve on these when doing the box challenge.

Overall

You've done these exercises as instructed, some pages are missing, unless you forgot to upload them, you'll need to do them again.

Next Steps:

  • 1 page of Superimposed Lines

  • 1 page of Table of Ellipses

  • 1 page of Organic Perspective

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Thank you so much for taking the time to critique my work, I really appreciate the well-written response and I'll be sure to take your advice into account as I contine with the lessons!

Here are the revisions as well as the pages that apparently didn't get uploaded with the rest of my homework. Again, thank you for the feedback!

Hey nice work on these pages. You ellipses are little loose but they're drawn with confidence, so keep doing them in your warm ups & they'll become more tight.

I'll mark this one as complete.

Next Steps:

250 Box Challenge

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.
