Hi, I'll be grading your work today. Your lines are wobbly, which can be helped by ghosting your lines as Uncomfortable said and quickly executing the line. Your perspective is off as well, which is leading to some oddly shaped boxe. But that will improve with practice. The main problem though is that there only seems to be 13 boxes? Unless Imgur is having some issues and not loading the rest, you only did 13 out of the 250 we're supposed to do. I can't fully, really grade if it's not finished. Did you have trouble uploading the rest? I know Imgur has given me some issues before with uploading multiple pictures at once.
Next Steps:
I need to see the rest of the boxes
Hi, thank you so much for critiquing me. Sorry that everything wasn't there. It was until after I posted this that I realized only one of the pages uploaded. This should have all the pages on it. And Again, thank you so much for your time.
:)
Thank you for the rest. I'm going to be honest: this was hard to grade. Our boxes are supposed to have different orientations, but it seems you turned the entire page in order to draw new boxes, which forced me to have to constantly turn my screen. I actually thought a lot of your line extensions were wrong at first because I didn’t realize the whole page needed to be turned to make sense of it.
Your boxes are really inconsistent for some reason. Sometimes, they’re near perfect and other times, they’re really distorted. I think it might be you taking things too far when trying to make the perspective dramatic. And also, your line weight was inconsistent too. It wasn’t there at first, and then it was there, but way too dark, and then it wasn’t there anymore. Remember, it’s just a subtle outlining of the box with none to the inner lines.
I recommend 50 more boxes after re-reading the additional notes on shallow vs dramatic perspective and distortion, keeping in mind what i said about line weight and making sure you’re not rotating the page every time you want to start a new box. And make sure your lines always extend away from the viewers.
Next Steps:
50 more boxes with the suggested changes in mind
Hi thank you so much for the critique, I'm sorry that my last submission was so hard to grade I made sure this time to not turn the paper as I was making the boxes so hopefully you find this to be easier. Thank you lots for your time.
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.
