The cheap "sketchbook"-booklet-thingy I used for this lesson turned out to be very bad quality, some of the ink seeped through the page, resulting in random dots on a few of the exercises. From now on I'll just use printer paper instead, much easier to work with.
Hi this is my first time giving feedback - I'm just gonna use the feedback guide and hopefully be able to point out something useful for you based on that.
Lines section:
I think you did pretty well on the lines exercises. There's only fraying on one side, and I do not spot a lot of wobbling so I think that's the most important thing about these exercises.
Elipses section:
I think these also look pretty good but I noticed you mostly drew the elipses 3 times instead of only 2 times. The guide/lessons say that's OK but that 2 times is preferrable. I personally think that due to you drawing them 3 times they look a bit messier than they might have otherwise.
Boxes Section:
Organic Perspective:
I see some wobbly lines on the 1st page and more confident lines on the 2nd page you posted. Assuming they're posted in the order in which you drew them, that seems to indicate some progress, right? :)
Plotted Perspective:
Obviously, it looks very neat.
Rotated Boxes:
So my first impression is that you did really well on this because the perspective looks great (way better than my own attempt ????)!
When looking a bit more closely, I spotted a few wobbly lines though so I guess keep an eye on that
Rough Perspective:
Again, I noticed some wobbly lines but I guess that's normal at this stage.
All in all it seems like you just need to do the same confident strokes you did in the first basic exercises even when doing a more complicated task.
OK so that was my first ever feedback ????
I hope I pointed out something that helps you and that I didn't come accross too harsh. I also just handed in my first homework assignment (feel free to give me feedback too if you want).
By the way, I know what you mean about the paper quality! I had a similar issue. In my case, the paper didn't lie flat because it was a bit torn on one side and it really made me mess up a few times because my sleeve got caught on the edge or the paper shifted while I was drawing...
Thank you for the review!
On all the wobbly lines, they're mostly because I'm still not very confident in my ghosting - or rather, if I try to be confident I'll miss the dot I'm aiming for - so many times I drew slower/slowed down halfway for the accuracy (especially on the rotated boxes: I tried to make it as accurate as possible, which is probably why it looks better than most at first glance, but it's very wobbly). I'll try my best to work on that.
My ellipses I'm also not very confident in, which is why I go over them a 3rd time very often, though looking back, it does make it a lot more messy.
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
