Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
6:04 AM, Friday September 15th 2023
Hi, I just completed all the assignments for lesson 1, please give me some critique, thank you.
Hi! I'll be reviewing your lesson 1 homework.
Lines
Your superimposed lines have some fraying at the start, make sure to position your pen carefully when you are making a line. Your ghosted lines are good however some on them have some wobbling and arching. You haven't uploaded your pictures for the ghosted planes without ellipses.
Ellipses
Your ellipses seem confident, however I have noticed some of them are a little pointy or get straight-ish? Some of these ellipses in planes are deformed. Overall, well done.
Boxes
Your rough perspective seems fine but it seems that you have drawn over some of the lines? In the future please avoid this. There is some wobble in your mark making for the organic perspective and some perspective issues however these will be addressed in the 250 box challenge. Your rotated boxes is very well done except for a few boxes.
Next Steps:
Well done! You may proceed to the 250 box challenge and make sure to use all these exercises as warm ups before any sitting.
Thanks for the critique!
I personally notice that I have the tendency to draw many lines on top of each other, this is a very strong habit when I working with a pencil that I trying to break.
I will add the ghosted planes without ellipses later, I forgot to photo them.
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
