Hi Inspireanart, I will be helping you out with some critique today.

Most of your lines have very little wobble, and are drawn smoothly and confidently. Great job, and keep it up.

Your ellipses are good too. In the Ghosted plains 2 + ellipses in planes 2 there are a few ellipses that are positioned incorrectly in the plane. Here is what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/W8BWukO. Make sure to have the ellipse touch the place where the horizontal and vertical dividing line meet the edges.

Your perspective exercises look good too, especially the rotated boxes exercise. You get a pretty good since of depth with your organic perspective exercise, too.

Overall, very nice work here. It will benefit you to do the 250 box challenge, so I encourage you to tackle that even though it will be a lot of work. Good luck!

Next Steps:

Take on the 250!

Thank you so much for your feedback! The time you took for going through all of them and the correction on the ellipses exercise are appreciated. I understand the problem there now. And yes I am almost done with the 250 boxes challenge. Hope this one gets marked as completed soon. Thank you once again!

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
