Hey there,
thank you so much for critiquing my work. Just as a heads up, I really lost motivation and steam throughout and most of the drawings took me weeks/months to finish and I feel like I repeated a lot of mistakes. I'm not exactly happy with the results, but I defenitely learned a lot about drawing and even more about myself.
Hello Cytori!
I'm Simon and I'll be attempting to review your Lesson 7 :)
First of all well done for coming this far and really no reason for you to not feel happy about the results because these look great and keep in mind they're just exercises! having learnt from them is what matters in any case.
Starting off with your forms intersections these are looking really solid nearly perfect just keep practicing from time to time and practice makes perfect! Also if you ever feel unsure about an intersection be sure to hop in blender and play around with the two shapes to understand the intersection better :)
Your cylinders in boxes are good could've done one or two more on the page but that's fine.
Be careful for the bottom one the pink lines seem a little divergend or at least parallel same with the black lines for the right box. Since it's the boxes and not the ellipses it's no big deal as long as you keep an eye on it i'm sure it'll get fixed immediatly.
Moving onto the vehicle form intersections you really didn't have to make them as detailed (especially for n°3) but it's still looking solid your shapes are confidently drawn and are completely fine except maybe for the back lines of the truck where idk if you tried to have 3 point perspective but the back lines of the last wheels are inclined quite a bit too much. Other than that all good.
Finally Vehicles! First of all your constructions and attention to subdivisions is impeccable. The plane being the proof of this with how accurate your proportions are so really well done on that keep putting in that much effort to get perfect vehicles!
Your measures, constuctions are all good.
One little "mistake" i could find was with the wheels of the bike, i don't know if you have an ellipse guide cause the front wheel looks a bit off but all your other ellipses are on point so this is really the exception and not the rule.
As for the shading and detailing since you mostly did it on the first vehicle i'll be focusing on that but yeah if you have time try to detail add a bit of form shading to another vehicle like the bike and they'll really pop off the page.
For the wagon the cast shadow is properly done and even though you could have added a bit of details to the fabric to bring it to life the wooden structure you worked on really works well and feels solid.
All in all great job and congratulations for completing the course!
Next Steps:
Well done Lesson marked as complete!
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
