Thanks for submitting for critique, I'll split it up into the 3 main sections. Overall though a good job, and you've clearly understood the exercises.
Lines:
Great work on the superimposed lines, overall confident, smooth and fraying only at one end. Some of the shorter lines on the second page have an arc shape, this could be because you're using your elbow more for the shorter ones, just keep this in mind. The ghosted lines and ghosted planes are pretty good too, some wobbles on the lines and a couple of points where it looks like the line has curved slightly to meet the point, this should improve with practice as long as you are aware of it.
Ellipses:
Both your ellipses in planes and in the table are very nice and smooth, generally meeting the edges and not warped, nice job. Your funnels are good too and I can see you've made the effort to align them to the minor axis. Some of the middle narrower ones look a bit pointy but overall really nice.
Boxes:
Plotted perspective is perfect and you've kept track of your lines well. The rough perspective is good too, it looks like you had a bit of confusion with the extensions initially but have corrected that on the later frames. Hopefully you can see the perspective errors, and ghosting a few times to the vp will help hitting the vp more accurately in future practice. Your rotated boxes page is not bad at all, of course there are some distortion issues but you've rotated the boxes well along the middle cross and the bottom right corner is done correctly, well done with that. I suggest revisiting it once you've done some of the 250 box challenge (just do one quadrant or something) to see if you understand it better after more practice. The organic perspective page is good and there's nice variation in size, rotation and shape of boxes. Some lines diverge rather than converge to the vanishing points, but you will get the hang of how to correct that in the box challenge.
Next Steps:
Move onto the 250 box challenge, taking care to extend your lines correctly (read the lessons carefully to see which direction to extend them!) so you can learn from each box. Good luck, enjoy.
Thank you so much for taking the to critique! I know I'm 5 days late to this, but I really appreciate it.
Yes, the 2 boxes that I've marked as 1 and 2, in the rough perspective exercise is where I got confused lol. I wanted to start over but I remembered not to get caught up in perfectionism, so just carried on.
I'm looking forward to trying out the rotated boxes exercise with a variation like you said. I found it to be the hardest and most time consuming out of the lot, but it really got me thinking about planes in rotation.
I finishing up my 250 challenge today (YAY) and I've learned a fair bit about rotation that I struggled with in the rotating boxes exercise.
Hello,
I agree with the previous critique. Just one small remark from my side – each line should be drawn only once, regardless of how it turns out. Drawing one more ‘correct’ line ‘over’ the previous one or making it bold does not fix it; it just makes it stand out more. Try not to correct your firstly putted confident lines even they sometimes are not meeting the planned dot. Just let it be and move on as you did with those two boxes “1.” and “2.” in plotted perspective exercise. You made great decision there!
Overall, the submission is quite good. I’ll go to mark “agree”.
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.
