Hello and congrats on completing lesson one. I'll be taking a look at your submission today. Starting with your superimposed lines these are coming along fine. You are keeping a clearing defined starting point with all of your tapering on the opposite end. Nice job. Your ghosted lines and planes are also looking good. You are using the ghosting method to good effect to get confident linework and although your accuracy could still use some work that tends to come with practice.

Your table of ellipses is looking pretty good. You are doing a good job drawing through your ellipses and you seem to be focusing on getting smooth ellipse shapes for the most part. This is carried over nicely into your ellipses in planes. You are doing a really nice job focusing on getting those confident smooth ellipse shapes and aren't getting worried about accuracy which is the correct call. Although accuracy is your ultimate goal that is something you are building towards with mileage. Your ellipses in funnels seems for the most part I'm not noticing any real issues. One thing you can try with these is to start with a narrower degree ellipse in the center and then widen the degrees of the ellipses as they move outwards in the funnel. Please check the example here. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/step3 Overall I think your ellipses are off to a great start but there's still room for improvement so make sure you keep practicing these during your warmups.

Your plotted persepcitve looks fine although I do want to discuss your hatching that you added here a little a bit. If you are going to add hatching during these lessons try and treat it the same as you would every other line you make. Don't mindless add lines very quickly. Make sure you ghost your lines and draw from you shoulder with confidence. Every mark you make should be intentional. Your rotated boxes look pretty decent. You appear to be keeping up with the ghosting method and your linework is looking pretty confident for the most part. You also did a good job extending the lines back on your boxes to check your work. As you can see some of your perspective estimations were quite off but this will become more intuitive with mileage. One thing you can think about a bit more when doing a one point perspective exercise like this is that all of your horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon lines and all vertical lines should be straight up and down. This would have helped quite a bit to avoid a lot of the slanting lines you are getting in your constructions.

Your rotated box exercise was a pretty good attempt! You did a nice job drawing through your boxes and keeping your gaps narrow and consistent. You didn't quite nail your rotations but you got fairly close and I can see that you gave up on the boxes at the outer corners. At this point you really just need to develop a better since of spatial awareness through practice and this exercise is a great one to come back to after a few lessons to see how much you have improved in this regard. Your organic perspectives boxes turned out okay. You are keeping up with the ghosting method and confident linework for the most part which is great. Some of your box constructions could definitely use some work so the 250 box challenge will be a great next step for you.

Overall this was a pretty good submission and I think your ellipses in particular are coming along quite nicely. I think you are understanding most of the concepts these lessons are trying to convey pretty well. I'm going to mark this as complete and good luck with the 250 box challenge!

thank you sir for reviewing my assignment. practically i had lot of strugles in doing the rotated boxes .

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

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.
