Hello, dear drawabox community! I'm glad to present you my first homework on Lesson 1. Looking forward to your critiques! If some parts are clearly off, I don't mind redoing them.
Did this with 0.4 fineliners.
Also, you may notice that the color of the table changes a couple of times — that's because I used desks at different locations.
Hello I'll be taking a look at your lesson 1 homework.
Lines
-Starting with the superimposed lines exercise I can notice that tour lines tend to fray at the ends, which is completely acceptable as you are beginning the course Overall I can notice that you always started your lines at a clear defined point and your lines are looking confident and smoot, with all the wavering on one side only.
-Moving on to the ghosted lines your linework is looking good, make sure you keep pushing yourself to draw from your shoulder, as your lines tend to make an sligh arch. If you keep having trouble with this try to compensate bya arching your lines in the opposite direction.
-Your linework in the ghosted planes is also good, as you keep practicing you will get better at making accurate lines, but overall your work in this section is looking solid.
Ellipses
-Starting with the tables of ellipses exercise, I can see that you have kept in mind the degree, alignment and angle of the ellipses. You prioritized drawing smooth elliptical shapes, but keep striving to make your ellipses more even, as there is always room for improvement. And as a minor observation always draw through your ellipses 2 to 3 times only.
-In the ellipses in planes exercise, prioritize making round and even ellipses rather than focusing too much on having your ellipse touch the four sides of the plane, as it can make them distorted and more wobbly.
-Your ellipses in the funnels are looking quite clean but some of them seem to wobble slightly, make sure that you draw your ellipses with more confidence and make their edges more smooth, overall you are moving in the right direction here, you nailed the alignment and the spacing.
Boxes
-Starting with the rough perspective, some of your lines tend to wobble slightly, don’t worry too much about overshooting or undershooting a line, you want to prioritize confidence now, accuracy will come with mileage. You nailed the alignment of the sides of the boxes, whether they were perpendicular or parallel to the horizon line, and you did a good job aiming at the vanishing point.
-Moving on to the rotated boxes your work is looking great, you clearly made a point of drawing confident lines, kept in mind the rotation and used the side of adjacent boxes as hints to draw your other boxes.
-Finishing with the organic perspective you show that your sense of 3D is clearly developing as you kept the rate of foreshortening consistent and your boxes don’t have any distortion or diverging lines, the only observation that I have to make is your linework again it tends hat it wobble slightly, so keep practicing your lines
Next Steps:
Nice work on this submission. I’m marking it as complete, so head on over to the box challenge. GL!
Thanks for your detailed and swift feedback!
I'll definitely keep practicing my lines and I hope I will get confidence with time.
A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.
Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
