Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
1:12 PM, Sunday November 14th 2021
Hello, I just finished the lesson 1 homework. Please leave your thoughts and criticism. Do you think I should tackle the 250 box challenge? Thank you and have a beautiful day.
Hi I'll critique your homework.
Starting with the superimposed lines exercise I notice fraying at both ends of the lines, you should be aware of what might be causing this, it could be not using your whole arm or not drawing in a comfortable position etc, so keep practicing your lines.
Your ghosted lines are accurate but wobbly sometimes, so just like in the previous exercise keep practicing.
Your ghosted planes and ellipses are good.
Now in the tables of ellipses you want to delimit clearly the space your going to be using, this exercise is about the accuracy and confidence with which you can fit in the ellipses, so not having that parameter well established will undermine your work, this applies particularly to the second page of table of ellipse.
It's been a while since I completed this lesson but I remember that you only needed to do two pages of this exercise so be aware of that.
Now the funnels exercise, I see e same exact problem as the tables of ellipses, you can draw fewer and bigger ellipses, also there are some ellipses floating around, don't do this , you can practice it but not in your pages for your homework.
My recommendation for the organic perspective would be to make a more subtle use of line weight.
The rotated boxes exercise is good.
And finally the organic perspective is great you definitely pushed yourself in that one.
Next Steps:
Before you can move onto the challenge, I'd recommend you to do the funnels exercise and the tables of ellipses exercise again. Be sure to stick to this

Sorry for any misspellings and goid.kuck.
Thank you for your reply, I will do that. Do I need to resubmit for review after I am done?
No, it was just a recommendation. I marked this lesson as complete
Thank you for your time :D. Have a great day !
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.
