Thanks for having a look through this work! I'd really appreciate any suggestions for things i should repeat or just things to watch out for in future lessons. The main this I've noticed is i can be a bit under-controlled in some of my lines, missing corners etc, so will be practising some ghosted lines during warm ups.
Hi, good work! I think you understood every Exercise and done it correctly.
Next Steps:
Warmups:
Superimposed Lines - Straigths: I think you did a good job. Focus on starting on the exact point where the line begins. Oh and varying the line-length more (1 Inch, 2 Inch, 4 Inch, >8 Inch). Both things will help you out in the 250 box challenge and lesson two.
Superimposed Lines - Curvy: Those are a bit bumpy, but i see improvement on the 2nd page already. Keep in mind, smoothness > accuracy, and i think you are good to go.
Ellipses: Well, im behind on those, and i kinda dont feel confident enough to give you feedback here. Haha after a year doing those, i guess thats telling you something. I mean your ellipses look like mine and people told me to focus on roundness over accuracy, maybe this advice helps you, it didnt helped me in the slightess. I assume its mileage and visualization that comes when doing the 250 cylinder challenge.
Awesome job on the rotated boxes, mate!
Your Boxes have some Probelms but you will improve immensely doing the 250 Challenge.
Well done.
My subjective experience to what you wrote. Don't go and do ghosted lines (alot) trying to fix your line accuracy. I've done it and it was mostly time wasted. If i may give you any recommendation do 8x Superimposed Lines 1 Inch, 2 Inch, 4 Inch, 8 Inch, sometimes curved sometimes straight, this will help you loosen up your shoulder and getting a feel of what a straight smooth line should look and feel like. After go for boxes, well why your ask? Because you have to ghost lines anyway while learning more and it gives you "higher stakes" ruin a perfectly good box with a bad line. Maybe mix in some ghosted lines but than do long distance ghosting, it might help with finding vanishing points also. OC please keep the ghosting lines principle in your mind doing boxes and stuff.
have a nice one, bye.
Thanks very much for taking time to critique my pages and also for the helpful suggestions. Also a good point on trying shorter superimposed lines, I think I actually find the short lines harder than the long lines. Were there any specific problems with the boxes that I should focus on with the box challenge, or do you think it's enough to just get stuck in with the 250 boxes? Thanks again!
Just read the lection and exersice notes two times and watch the video and throw yourself into it.
And keep at it. I felt after 90 Boxes that im getting worse with each page. I felt like wasting time. Without corona lockdown i would have never finished it. It took all 250 boxes and one week off from drawing to see that i improved and learned something. So just draw those boxes, maybe check in with the community after 50 boxes if you are doing alright.
Oh.. and i wish someone told me to upload every page at the same day or atleast the next drawing session. You dont want to upload 42 pages of boxes in the end.
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
