I did again some of the exercises again taking into account what you mentioned in your revision, from here on I'm going to start taking close attention to what you said but point 1 was hard for me since I don't have a lot of patience so even ghosting lines was hard sometimes but I tried my best in the exercises and took my time but still felt it wasn't enough in some of them.

I did the lessons that came into my mind when reading your revision. If there still anything left to work from lesson 1 I will work on it next week.

You're on the right track. Make a resubmission, keeping these in mind:

1.Wobble in lines. In drawabox you should always prioritize confidence over accuracy.

A wobbly line is a mistake, no matter how accurate, and a confident line will be correct, as with practice the accuracy will get better.

2.Fraying on both ends. The line should never fray on the starting dot. The student should place the pen carefully at the beginning of each line so this does not happen.

3.Arching lines. Sometimes the lines will arch a bit.

It's worth mentioning this might happen because they are not mostly using the shoulder pivot. It can happen while using the shoulder too however, and in this case it can be fixed by trying to arch consciously to the opposite direction.

4.Not plotting lines. Sometimes students, specially on ghosted planes, will stop placing a starting and ending dot before drawing a line, trying to freehand the line without ghosting.

Mention them that starting a line with a starting and ending dot is important for applying the ghosting method, and that it should not be skipped.

5.Repeating lines. No matter how off a line is, a student should never repeat it, they should kept the line as it if were correct and move on.

These are the basics!

I apologize about the late reply!

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.
