Hey!
I feel I struggled most with:
tables of ellipses
funnels
rotated boxes
organic perspective
and in general still getting used to drawing with my shoulder. I often start leaning on my elbow which I'm trying to stop.
I plan to do the 250 box challenge after this.
Any tips/things to keep in mind moving forward? Any pages from Lesson 1 that I should re-do?
Greeting Aero!
There seems to be one clear mistake, but overall you did a good job.
In more detail.
Areas to improve:
in ghosted planes, rough perspective and organic perspective exercises you seem to have rushed a few times, so accuracy went down
in other exercises like ghosted lines your accuracy is recognisably better
in tables of ellipses your angle and position can be improved
It seems to me that accuracy in rough perspective has suffered especially. So I ask you to make 2 more pages of Rough perspective focusing on vertical and horizontal lines and on planning your lines in general.
In organic perspective it really stood out that in first panels on both pages you stepped away from your curve. Yet there shouldn’t be a need to redo it.
Nice things that stood out to me:
often your lines are really confident and there is little to no curve to them, keep that yp!
you say you struggled with funnels and I say that thus you’ve made there quite nice ellipses
Next Steps:
2 more pages of Rough perspective.
I’ll be ready to mark this lesson as complete and suggest you to move to 250 Boxes Challenge once you send those revisions. Wish you further development!
Thanks Konstantin!
That's really useful. I can see going back to my pages that I struggled with accuracy. I agree I probably rushed some things.
I'm not totally sure what you mean by this:
"In organic perspective it really stood out that in first panels on both pages you stepped away from your curve."
If you can say more about that maybe I can understand .
I found organic perspective really hard because I couldn't draw through the boxes, and overall that lesson felt confusing for me - I wasn't sure what I was trying to achieve (I'll go back and read the material).
In any case, I'll work on 2 more pages of Rough Perspective and let you know when I'm done.
Thanks!
Here I tryied to show what I mean (Hope the imgur link works)
There is chance that I didn't understand your path/curve the way you intended. Yet it looks to me that on the first page you accidentally jumped from one area of curve to another. I tried to convey the way I see your paths in 3d space with different weight of red line.
Hope that makes it clearer. If not - ask again.
Don't worry about organic perspective exercise though. It is mainly just an introduction to a spacial problem that we will have to solve much later.
You're welcome!
Thanks Konstantin,
The imgur link worked. That makes perfect sense now! I see what I did wrong there.
Still working on the re-do of rough perspective. Trying not to rush it :)
Cheers.
Since your revisions were accepted and the site doesn't have a way to agree with replies yet, I'm posting this so that you can get official completion approval on the lesson!
Next Steps:
250 boxes
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
