Hi there! I like your username :)
Good work on Lesson 1.
Lines:
Superimposed lines look good. You do a good job of aligning your pen to the start of the line so that there's only fraying on one end, which will get better as you go on.
Ghosted lines are good as well, your lines are straight and confident most of the time. A bit of overshooting, which isn't a big deal, but it can help if you lift your pen when it hits the end point of the line.
Ghosted Planes seem good, no issues there.
Ellipses:
Table of Ellipses is good as well. Your ellipses are smooth for the most part. Sometimes they can be a bit wobbly, so make sure you keep your lines smooth and confident. Ghosting more can also help.
Ellipses are smoother in the Ellipses in Planes exercise, good work.
Good job aligning your ellipses to the minor axis in your funnels exercise. You have a bit of room for more ellipses in your funnels.
Boxes:
Plotted Perspective is great! No issues there.
Rough Perspective is fine as well. I see that you corrected your line once, so remember that once you draw a line, you shouldn't correct it by drawing another line over it. Try and resist the urge to correct lines :)
No major issues with your rotated boxes. They'll look better as we do the 250 box challenge.
Nice Organic Perspective. Again, try not to correct your lines, but otherwise, no major issues there.
Good work! You're all good to go for the 250 box challenge.
I suggest you practice ellipses for your warm-ups and do your best to keep them smooth, but you seem to have that down, so don't overdo it.
Next Steps:
250 box challenge!
Remember to revisit Lesson 1 exercises for warm-up, and have fun! :)
Thank you very much for the critique.
I will make sure to apply your advices and try my hardest to not correct the lines.
No problem! Good luck with the challenge. :)
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
