Hi!

I agree with Acecat101 that your homework looks good and you should move on to the 250 box challenge! So I will add an agree so that you can earn your Level 1 badge.

However, I did want to add some specifics:

Overall, your work shows the important aspects that we are looking for- confident markmaking in your strokes.

Lines

Your linework is excellent. The superimposed lines show a very clear start to the stroke and the stroke itself is confident, even if they fray a bit at the ends, showing that you gave yourself enough time to think through what you were doing instead of rushing through. In this course, we always want to be intentional with our strokes, and your work shows that you did that!

Ellipses

Your ellipses have some wobble to that. This might suggest that you are focusing on getting accurate ellipses that fit snugly over a confident stroke. Always aim for a smooth confident stroke first, before you focus on accuracy.

Boxes

Your boxes look great, you consistently show that you thought through your line before making it. One thing to note is that you missed the 4 corner boxes in your rotated boxes exercise.

Anyways, those are some quick thoughts I wanted to add. Congrats on completing Level 1 and earning your badge!

Sketching: The Basics

Sketching: The Basics

A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.

Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.

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.
