Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
11:08 AM, Wednesday October 20th 2021
Please excuse the fact that I had to use a dying pen for some of these! I tried my best to make everything clear in the photos, but some lines are quite faint because of it.
Hi, Crowe!
I will be reviewing your works by going through each section.
Lines - OK!
Fraying is there but it's natural as the line gets longer and harder to reach. As long as your line isn't fraying too much at the starting point (which you did), this is big progress in itself already.
They look solid, confident and smooth. Not too far off the end point as well. Good job!
Ellipses - OK!
Ghosted planes look neat and solid, and I can see that the ellipses inside are drawn confidently. Keep up that stroke confidence!
Funneled ellipses: OK! as well.
Boxes - OK!
Rotated boxes look OK! But if you can add some hatching lines to the faces in between each boxes to distinguish them even better, that'd be great!
Just a friendly tip, if you can, add subtle line weight to the boxes silhouettes too!
All in all, really good job! Your boxes look solid already, and you got a good grasp of ghosting your lines, which will be heavily needed in the next challenge. Thank you for your hard work!
Hope you bought yourself a new pen, the boxes challenge isn't very forgiving ;D Good luck!
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.
