Okay, so I think a good idea would be to section of this critque in 3 sections. Lines, ellispes, and boxes.

  1. Lines.

Okay, so starting with super imposed lines. I think most of the time you manage to start on the same line, and your strokes are nice and confident, so that is good. I however notice a few instane where there is a tiny bit of fraying on the starting end. In genreal you want to start on the same postion everytime with your pen, and excute and nice quick mark. Sometimes this is a sign we got a little hasty, but all in all I think you did really well in it. Moving on to Ghosted lines most of them are straight, and look confidently drawn so that is a plus. Genreally in drawbox we value confidence over accuracy. You have level 2 right now in the regards that it is straight, smooth, and consitent, but you miss your points a little bit. This is of course is expected and the more we draw confidentally the better our accuracy will become. Moving onto the ghosted planes; It seems like you stop placing dots at this point. A starting and ending dot is important for the ghosting method, and must not be skipped.

2.

Starting with Table of Ellispes, most of them are drawned confidentally and I can tell you drew though them mostly 2 times. Also, most of them are in bounds and touch the corners, so I said you did a good job on the accuracy department as well. Sure there are a couple of areas where they go off the perimeter but accuracy comes after confidence, and I said you did both pretty well. In funnels most of your ellispes are drawned pretty dang well giving it 2 passes, but I notice some of them are cut uneven. Genreally we use the minor axis to cut them in 2 symetrical halves as stated in the Lesson 1 Notes. Some areas you failed short like the way bottom table on the right. You also have a few that seem to be pointed downwards line bottom left of the page. Still, I think you did a great job with confidence, and alligning them, so great job.

3 Boxes.

The plotted persepctive looks done extremly well, and you are drawing through the form which is a great start, and also it seems like you are using hatching to clarify what side is facing the viewer. Nice job.

In Rough persepctive you did a mostly great job at keeping width lines and height lines parrlel to the horizoin. I think in theese you are struggling a little more with line confidence a few lines seem to lack a little bit of confidence, but its not uncommon and I have seen you can make confident lines, so just keep working on it. Moving onto rotated boxes, it seems like your corners are always being kept close, so good job on that. It also seems like you are thinking about how the VPS slide to rotate the box, so good job in that department. Organic persepctive your lines are drawn really nicely, and good for this stage. I think though that you could make the boxes in front much bigger, and the ones in the back smaller so you could see the depth more. I think making them too simmilar in size ruins the depth que and makes us think that we are just drawing on a flat piece of paper. However, I can tell your thinking of this somewhat, and you did a lot of good things. I just think you can push the ones in back to get much smaller to give it that huge 3D affect. Overall your organic persepctive was nicely done. You had a fine Lesson 1, sure some mistakes, but none that are uncommon, and you seem to be getting the purpose of each extercise. I'm going to Mark this as complete, and good luck in Lesson 2 if this reply gets another agree.

Next Steps:

Remeber to

  1. Plan your dots, and use ghosting method

  2. Allign your ellispes.

  3. Try to push depth shrinking if you can( This isn't a end all be all, jsut something I wanted to mention)

Good job, and feel free to move onto lesson 2.

Thank you so much for your critique. I'll make sure to pay attention to what you've told me to.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

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.
