Here is my submission for the Lesson 1 homework. Some of the pages were redone a bit later to better conform to the guidelines (I was drawing on Kraft paper). Also I'm glad I bought the PITT fineliner, the blue one is absolute garbage but it was only 1,10€.
Tell me what you think !
hello! i will be giving you a critique for your lesson
1. Lines
superimposed lines
looks great, you correctly positioned you pen on the starting point, however there is a slight wobble to it on some of them, its better to just continue with it even if it isnt 100% going towards the point, the point is just a guide the strightness of the line is what we are going for
ghosted lines
i cant really find much to give feedback on here very soild work some lines do wobble a bit but you seemed to have fixed that as you went on
ghosted planes
again very soild work, ive got no feedback here
2. Ellipses
you improved a lot in the second page, i did notice that some of them wobble slightly, there is an ideal speed for executing ellipses you just need to test a bit to figure it out, really good ellipses orverall
Ellipses in Planes
the ellipses fit well in the planes and very few ellipses have deformities
Funnels
some ellipses do wobble a bit, if you miss the mark on the second spin try to not slow down too much and just keep going, other than that the ellipses fit and the axis is well centered
Plotted Perspective
all good here
Rough Perspective
lines are extending properly horizontally and vertically and lines are moving properlly towards the VP
Rotated Boxes
only thing ill say here is that the left side and top boxes are a little too extended that it kinda messes up with the shape otherwise it is all good
Organic Perspective
all good here as well
Next Steps:
you clearly have taken your time with this lesson its really well done, work on your 50% rule while waiting for the second approval and good luck with 250 box challange!
Thanks for the review, still struggling with the wobblies. I think at least part of it is/was the pen but sometimes I catch myself shaking during the mark. There is a sweet spot for things like pen speed, grip strength etc, I'm still figuring it out.
Onto the 250 boxes now :)
Every now and then I'll get someone asking me about which ruler I use in my videos. It's this Wescott grid ruler that I picked up ages ago. While having a transparent grid is useful for figuring out spacing and perpendicularity, it ultimately not something that you can't achieve with any old ruler (or a piece of paper you've folded into a hard edge). Might require a little more attention, a little more focus, but you don't need a fancy tool for this.
But hey, if you want one, who am I to stop you?
