Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
8:52 AM, Friday December 23rd 2022
Hello, finally after some breaks I have finished Lesson 1. Any feedback is appreciated.
Hello, congratulations on finishing Lesson 1, I'll be critiquing your work.
Lines
Your Superimposed Lines are very good, though there is slight fraying at the beginning of each mark for some lines. Remember to take the time to set your pen near where the beginning of the line begins before executing your confident mark.
Your Ghosted lines have slight wobbling to it, showing a bit of hesitation. Remember that it's okay to shoot over the mark, so long as the mark stays confident. The ghosting method should help heavily with this if you take more time with it.
Your Planes are filled up quite nicely and most of them are dissected evenly, which shows that you are taking the time to plan and execute those marks.
Ellipses
Regarding your Tables of Ellipses pages, you have done well to fit your ellipses within the tables and next to each other. While some of your ellipses do overlap, it is not an frequent occurence.
Your Planes of Ellipses are very good. Some are a bit distorted, but they fit quite well within the planes.
Your Funnels have symmetrical ellipses and are drawn snugly against each other very well, and work well with the axis' you have made.
Boxes
Your Rough Perspective has an good amount of boxes for each segment, and most of them are quite good in aligning the lines towards the horizon, as most are perpendicular to each other.
That Rotated Boxes challenge is definitely an difficult one, but I can see that you have taken your time to make it clear. Your boxes are shown to be rotated well and each fit around the same length, without any wide gaps.
Your Organic Perspective pages are packed with boxes while some overlap. You will benefit from learning how to rotate these boxes more accurately during the 250 box challenge.
Next Steps:
250 Box Challenge
Every now and then I'll get someone asking me about which ruler I use in my videos. It's this Wescott grid ruler that I picked up ages ago. While having a transparent grid is useful for figuring out spacing and perpendicularity, it ultimately not something that you can't achieve with any old ruler (or a piece of paper you've folded into a hard edge). Might require a little more attention, a little more focus, but you don't need a fancy tool for this.
But hey, if you want one, who am I to stop you?
