Good job on finishing Lesson 1.Now here are my thoughts on this.
Starting with your ghosted Lines, they are pretty good, they started out kinda wobbly but by the time you reached the planes, they were down perfectly.They became a bit wobbly in rough peerspective but that was probably because of a lack of practice with ghosting strtaight lines while drawing ellipses, so keep that in mind and practice the ghosting planes exercise regularly.
The ellipses are done pretty well, they started out wobbly but got pretty confident by the time you reached funnels.The accuracy with your ellipses from the table of ellipses right upto the funnels is pretty commendable , but I would remind you that don't prioritize accuracy over confidence.You've done a decent job with confidence overall ,the remainder occasional wobbliness would be fixed with practice, but for some reason I feel that you strive for accuracy a bit too much and don't get too worked up over accuracy when you're just starting out.Once your pen hits the paper follow through to the end without getting anxious over accuracy.You've demonstrated a fair amount of confidence for me to believe that you get it but you know this is something you should try and keep in mind for those occasional times when your accuracy is way off.
Coming to the boxes, The rough perspective is decent. You have a few instances of drawing over lines which is something you should definitely avoid doing from here on out. No matter how off you are, drawing over a mistake is only going to make it worse.The rotated boxes are flawless.In the organic perspective, your lines diverge instead of converging to a vanishing point. I think you should repeat one page of this as this is an important concept to get right.
Next Steps:
1 more page of the Organic Perspective exercise.
Thanks for taking the time to review my homework! I'm a bit of a perfectionist so, you have a point with the accuracy thing. I'm glad you pointed out how I was drawing over lines as well, I totally overlooked that, but now i'll keep an eye out. Here's my revision for the organic perspective, it's still not perfect, i just tried my best.
The mistakes with the perspective seem to still be there in a few cases but for the most part you can continue because the point of this lesson isn't perfection with perspective, you will develop that with 250 boxes later on.Here marked it with a mouse for ya
If you pay note, that particular box looks like you're viewing a corner from the inside of the box(kind of like a room) and not from the outside (something you would expect with a box)
But then again its only to be expected at this stage, it is hard to predict line convergences by just placing points so vanishing points are hard to get right.It is something that would be developed in the 250 box challenge
I'll leave an explanation in my words if it helps with understanding what the reasoning behind the convergences (you will get this from the 250 boxes' video but ill put it down just on case you don't):
At its simplest , a set of parallel lines in 3D space will always appear to converge at a specific point called the vanishing point.The side of the lines converging to the vanishing point is interpreted as being farther away by the brain.
Now consider the first corner point and the Y you drew around it, take one line out of these three , since it is a box, the side away from the corner is farther away from you. So the vanishing point must be located on that side.In your case, the vanishing point ended up on the side of the corner which gives the impression that the corner is further away from the viewer and hence the illusion that the viewer is inside of a room.
Now then, I think stagnating on Lesson 1 with how little information it gives about the perspective of boxes is a mistake, the key is that you become conscious of it.
Now then , I suggest you give the additional notes on boxes (the ones at the end of Lesson 1) a read and get ready to draw 250 boxes :)
Next Steps:
This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete, and 2 others agree. The student has earned their completion badge for this lesson and should feel confident in moving onto the next lesson.Thanks for your thorough analysis! I see what you mean now, the box you pointed out has a difference vanishing point from the other boxes, and it seems to be vanishing into the foreground when it should be vanishing into the background. How you annotated the picture was very helpful, and i'll keep what you said in mind as I do the 250 box challenge :)
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
