Hello. This is my first time giving a critique, though I'll try my best.
Good job on completing Lesson 1. This is an obstacle that most people would never get past.
1. Lines
Well done! Absolutely no real issues here.
2. Ellipses
No issues here.
3. Boxes
Mostly fine, though you should really fill all 3 frames on the entire page with boxes (you only drew 4).
Do 1 more full page.
Rotated Boxes
Perfectly fine.
Do 1 more full page.
Miscellaneous:
(Rough Perspective) As stated here we aren't plotting these correction lines back to the VP. We're drawing our lines to be consistent with the edges that are meant to converge towards the vanishing point.
Overall, great job on Lines and Ellipses. Go back and draw a few more Boxes, though.
Next Steps:
Please reply to me with follow-ups of your work when you're finished.
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.
