Had a lot of fun working on these over the last few weeks. The next lesson looks even more interested.
With the Organic Perspective exercise I started experimenting with not placing dots for each line before ghosting over them. Seems like it kind of helped? Not sure if we're supposed to still be placing dots or trying to just rough it at this point.
It seems a bit rushed, I would suspect you've not been ghosting your lines or placing dots to plan your boxes and paths. It seems dumb but it is really important to follow this step. Make sure ellipses are touching the lines that bound them in space, try to apply your point to point lines with more confidence. If you miss you miss, its more important to have a confident straight line than one that meets the other dot bang on. Take care with the superimposed lines as they seem to just be place arbitrarily as they fray considerably on both ends. I would say you've rushed the rough perspective one as the lines are extremely wobbly considering the short distances on each edge when compared to much longer distances in your point to point warm up. Also, the boxes are more like rhomboids, remember horizontals and verticals are straight lines in 1pt perspective. You also have edges diverging, which suggests you're not ghosting enough to the Vanishing point you have in mind. On the rotated perspective drawing, the boxes aren't very consistent in size, you also haven't rotated them very much, however this is a hard exercise which everyone struggles with so I wouldn't repeat it.
In summary, I advise you redo the rough perspective and take much more care, and also work on your straight line warm ups a lot. Other than that, this is a great effort.
Next Steps:
Redo the rough perspective exercise. Take more care, concentrate on having straight lines and edges that line up, really focus on having lines that converge and make sure you are ghosting them back to the intended VP. Also work on your straight line warm ups more, I suggest you just do a few every time you pick up a pencil or youre doodling on the phone or something, honestly this is where you will feel the most benefit right now.
I think my lines wound up being straighter this time, but whether or not they connected is still a bit iffy.
great that you resubmitted, it was a great improvement and good show of commitment, keep checking those horizontals. I'm gonna give you a pass, be sure to keep doing the warm ups and youll be solid in no time.
Next Steps:
go on to the 250 box challenge
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.
