I used a tremmel made of paperstrips for the ellipses here since I suspect most of my ghosted ellipses don't have the proper proportion to qualify as tilted circles. I connected the dots using a straight edge since it was faster than a french curve and I actually stopped caring how pretty it looks.

I subdivided the circles without measuring out angles. I could have used a compass but I used a straight edge for that.

I completely ignored shadows and small details and measurements beyond 1/11 I guessed since I don't think I'm more off on this scale.

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.

Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
