Hey! My name is ARIEJAMESDALLAS and I'll be offering some critique pieces in stages. I say that because while words would help, I think that it's actually easier to explain some of the perspective feedback using a "photoshopped" draw-over. That's something I'll add in the next three days, or sooner.

In the meantime, I think you are off on the right track! I see some exemplary cylinders in both your first and second set.

Two things you could be mindful of: First, if you are going to make hatchmarks, make an effort to have them reach all the way from one side of the ellipse to the other. In 3D world, those hatchmarks are resting on that plane in space, not floating sticks. Good confidence on them though! Second, it appears in some that you've skipped drawing twice through some of the ellipses. Is that true on your end? Please pardon if I'm mistaken.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. I think I was consistent about drawing through the ellipses twice but I might have forgotten sometimes. I do recall some cases where the second pass was close enough to the first that it only looks like one pass, probably because it was following the indent made in the paper by the first pass. It might clarify if you label some of those instances.

Hey,

If you look at page marked 93 and page 40, it looks like some of your ellipses are maybe 1 or 1.5 times.

I also attached a visual link to a visual critique I did.

I don't think I am totally there yet with my explanation but I hope it helps some!

I think you should have one more person check over your work. At this point I'm feeling like it may need some revisions with the cylinders in boxes.

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.
This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.
If you'd like to advertise here, you can do so through comicad.net
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.

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.
