Excellent Mecha!. Yep these are done better compared to the Earlier Submission.

Okay Lets Take a closer look and Analyze them.

  1. ORGANIC FORMS:
  • the forms looks Simple and solid. the Ellipses and Curves are aligned to the minor Axis and their degree changes respective to their position.This is what we need. so I can say that you did a great job on these ones.

  • The main issue still present in this assignment is that the Ellipses and Curves are not Drawn Confidently. you are still thinking About the Perfection here.

    I'm still not executing my ellipses perfectly,

My advise is that we should leave that Thought Aside for now and just focus on Executing a smooth, confident marks from our shoulder without thinking about perfection. although the Accuracy is our End goal which takes more time and practice so we advise you to give first priority on executing a confident strokes.

  • just a thing to mention here is that, if you are having trouble drawing and keeping the sausage forms (like a 2 same balls connected by a tube of constant width). you can either Increase the times of ghosting or you can put some few dots along the path of sausages and ghost them over a few times and draw over them with confidently.

  • another thing I want to remind you which It may help in the future is- Loosening up your shoulder while drawing those ellipses. Don't get too stiff with your shoulder while Executing, just loose up your shoulder and feel the motion while Executing.

  • In Conclusion we can say that the deformed ellipses or uneven and wobbly Ellipses are either be a result of using wrist to draw those or by giving the perfection the main priority.

So from this we learnt that.

first priority= Executing with confidence

second priority=even if we have to sacrifice accuracy We should always continue to use ghosting method, drawing from shoulder and make sure that We are always use our arm to get the best flow as possible.

Now Moving on to 2. FORM INTERSECTION.

  • Yay! it much better now. You did a great job on keeping your forms kept your forms Coherent, cohesive and resembling that they share the same scene( shallow foreshortening boxes).

https://imgur.com/undefined. this is my little correction on your work.

  • To avoid sharp curve at the major axis in ellipses( like a egg shape or bendy ellipse) Its advisable to rotate your page to find the comfortable angle of approach and start and end ellipses at the minor axis( the axis which divides the ellipses into symmetrical halves)

  • There is some hiccups in the Intersections. Since its not much the focus of the exercise I can say that you are on the right track. Use Our community support member ( Optimus) First Aid pack on Intersection which is available on the draw a box discord server # lesson 2 pinned Messages. It’s a wonderful guide for all of us.and keep practicing with it in your warm ups.

My point of View:

overall You did a good job on your Revision. Keep up the good wok Mecha!. I'm confident that you will improve much further In the future by keeping in the mind the mistakes in your Warm ups.

so yeah I'm allowing you to move on to Lesson 3 by marking your lesson as Complete.

Hurray! we made It. Congratulations on Completing the lesson 2. I hope this feedbacks helps. Have a wonderful Artistic Journey Ahead. I'm awaiting to see your progress throughout

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
