This is my first feedback and english is not my native language so I hope you will be able to understand what I'm trying to say. I also want to add that I am going to be 100% honnest, I'm not gonna reply with empty comments because I don't think it's gonna help you improve.
First of all, you should think more about the beginning of your superimposed lines. They're lacking a clear beginning point and they shouldn't. Don't hesitate to ghost your lines a lot even with this exercise. In that regard, I think your second page of superimposed lines is way better, since you focused more on the beginning of the lines. Your understanding of the curved lines could have evolved a lot more if you tried to draw different positions. All your curved lines look the same and it's not ideal.
Your ghosted lines are a bit artificial and they could be way straighter. Once again, you should think more about the first point of your lines (it isn't crucial that your line ends specifically on the second point but it should at least start on the first.) I also think that you should draw more with the shoulder since your lines aren't very confident.
Your ghosted planes lines are way straighter and more confident than on the last exercise. However, your planes are often open, and that's a problem. Don't hesitate to push the line all the way through. Most of your ellipses are pretty good, but be careful of the ones that are a bit "spiky", they should be round not triangular.
Unfortunatly, I don't think your tables of ellipses are correct because your ellipses often float in the air. They should always follow a kind of rythme. I hope I'm not saying non-sense but I think you should redo a page of this exercise, trying to fit the ellipses into your lines. Try rereading the explanation of the exercise, it could help! And look at the examples uncomfortable provided us.
Your funnel exercise works pretty well, but I think you should have done more ellipses (you shouldn't do only one, you should always do at least 2 ellipses and maximum 3, like you did on the ghosted planes exercise).
The red lines in your rough perspective exercise shouldn't connect to the VP you tried to aim but they should continue the lines of your boxes. I don't think this is a huge mistake but you shouldn't forget that since it's the same idea with the 250 boxes challenge that you're gonna have to do after words.
Your rotated boxes exercise is unfortunately not correct. It is very hard exercise but you should try and tackle the challenge. I think you should re-read the exercise explanations and look at other students work. Don't lose hope, this exercise is REALLY hard but trying to surpass the huge challenges of this exercise is gonna help you to know what you should improve when you're doing the 250 boxes challenge!
I hope my critique will help you improve! I know it's harsh to ask you to redo exercises on the first lessons, but since I am not asking you to grind, I think it's really going to be beneficial. Good luck, and have a nice day!
Next Steps:
You should redo one page of table of ellipses
You should try to do the rotated boxes exercise like Uncomfortable shows it (Don't aim for perfection, but try to do the exercise)
here is the revised version. im still struggling a lot with drawing the ellipses accurately even after ghosting. also with the boxes its still very confusing for me when rotating it.
Sorry for the late answer! I didn't see you posted your revisions.
The main thing you have to remember there is not to draw your ellipses more that 3 times. You can ghost them as long as you want, but when you start marking them on paper, only draw them 3 times max.
You actually tried the rotated boxes! That's good. I can see that you had the idea in mind when doing it. Your understanding of this exercise is going to improve immensely after finishing the 250 box challenge, don't worry.
I'm marking this lesson as complete, you can move on to the 250 box challenge.
Have a nice day!
Next Steps:
Re-use the exercises you've done in lesson 1 to warm up before each of your drawing session. I think you should warm up with the ellipses in planes exercise.
--> Don't forget to only draw your ellipses two or three times!
thank you for your reply, don't worry about sounding too harsh you worded your response perfectly fine. ill redo what you said and hopefully it'll be a bit better. but again thank you for the criticism and quick reply, i really appreciate it :D
hey just to follow up, i redid the table of ellipses and they turned out sort of fine, but i'm physically incapable at this current moment of rotating the boxes.
edit: nvm i just had an epiphany and was able to rotate the box lol, ill upload pics later. they both still kinda suck but i think its slightly better
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
