Hi! Good job on your Lesson 3 homework.

I will take care of reviewing it and giving you directions.

Arrows: These look pretty good. The depth, fold and line weight application look correct.

No major errors here.

Branches: Your branches look generally solid. The stroke doesn't look broken which helps everything look smooth.

The ellipses are well aligned to their axis. Plus I notice that they don't change degree with respect to their position.

In other words, your ellipses should look fatter or thinner according to their orientation to the viewer.

In the first step of the exercise instructions you can read about this, the image there also shows it: https://drawabox.com/lesson/3/2/exercisebranches

Leaves: I like how the leaves look quite organic. The folds are fluid and the details adhere well to the overall construction.

The way you used shadows to distinguish the planes also looks adequate.

Plant drawings: It's nice that all the drawings look pretty clean. All the objects seem to follow their flow lines and the overall construction is good.

I see that in some cases you drew your ellipses with a single stroke.

Throughout Drawabox, you are asked to draw over your ellipses once or twice to build up accuracy.

On the Aloe Vera plant, it would have been best not to trim the leaves where they touch the pot.

When working with constructive drawing, you want everything to look very structured and solid. It would have been more appropriate to draw them complete as in the other plants, even if they are beyond the pot.

Conclusion: Overall, it looks like you followed the method as well as possible.

I will leave no homework and mark your lesson as complete!

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
