Hello! I'll do my best to review your work!

Lines: They're looking good, you have a healthy variety and they're confident and straight. Please keep that in mind to always be this meticulous about the marks you make as you progress. Keep practicing the ghosted lines in particular. As you do, your accuracy will increase and you can kind of feel that you have more control of when it stops.

Ellipses: These are looking good too. You can also ghost these before you put them down so you can work on your accuracy this way. I notice some of them arent touching the corners, please remember to practice these once in a while as they help you loosen up the fastest.

Boxes: I have more feedback on these, hold on tight haha

Rotated boxes: I think you did pretty well here actually. Its hard to turn the boxes more but I think you get the concept of it already, definitely keep practicing!

Rough perspective and Organic perspective: You must've had some trouble plotting down straight lines. A lot of these are kind of tilted and not straight, they are still confident lines tho so they work here. The key is to be confident when making these marks and you did keep to that! I can give you some tips to keep them even tho.

I remember I had trouble here because I stopped turning the pages to accommodate my hand. remember to angle your paper so its easier to make the boxes.

I also started practicing the ghosted lines and planes, but vertically and horizontally only, so I can practice plotting points that would make straighter lines. Sincxe my plotted point werent straight in the first place.

As your lines get smaller in length I find it difficult to use my shoulder, but what I do, is lock my wrist and keep practicing. Hence now most boxes, regardless of size have straighter lines. You have the confidence already, all you need is just a bit more practice.

I hope these helped in some way, you're on the right rack!

Next Steps:

Remember that these exercises are designed to assist you in the future, you mustnt forget them, and use these as practice or warmups. Eventually, your body will remember for you. Your lines are confident so far, with more practice, your accuracy would increase too. Since your next challenge is 250 boxes, you have to remember to plot straighter lines since you'll now be making a ridiculous amount of them haha. Best of luck!

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
