I think someone mentioned it at some point earlier in the course but I just wanted to say how helpful maintaining good posture has been for these exercises ^-^

Well, I’m here, started this week. But I feel a bit lonely in here. Nevertheless, I like the exercises and keep drawing.

this was probably the hardest exercise so far but at least I'm still going

This is a fun exercise! Even if I wonder often how I can be sooo far off... But it's a real kick when I get it right (generally close to the vanishing point). I feel I should probably have practiced drawing true rectangles (i. e. with four 90 degree angles) at some point (nope, not forgetting about obligatory homework and the teacher having to correct it, just saying that I need more practice in smaller steps). Thank you very much for this course!

These videos are indeed new - while we've got pretty limited resources to throw around and they're mainly focused on providing feedback for those on our official critique track, in providing that feedback we identify a lot of areas where concepts can be explained better to reduce pain points for students. There are also cases where we notice that approaching something differently and adjusting the rules to which we hold can improve the effectiveness of the material. Much of this gets conveyed to those official critique students via the feedback they receive so they can incorporate it into their practice even if it's not in the material, but we keep pushing to eventually integrate it back into the free lesson material by updating the content. Years ago we basically decided that we weren't going to expand past the core concepts we teach here, but instead go back over the material to improve it. It isn't the most lucrative strategy since it means replacing old content instead of simply adding more to the library, but we think it's in the best interest of the students as a whole. We're actually launching some new videos today, in a few hours - three new videos relating to the 250 box challenge.

Wow, this exercise was a bit of a kick in the teeth. Watching the video and reading the lesson I was like "I got this, I'll totally get closer than that!" But...nope. Eyeopener for sure. Also showed me i need to spend way more time warming up and more time on ghosted lines. Really looking forward to hearing what the critique has to say when I submit.

@Uncomfortable 3 ай бұрын

Hahaha, just keep in mind that even though it was difficult, and it didn't turn out as well as you'd expected, you likely are still doing the exercise entirely correctly - and if so, the feedback will reflect that. As with all exercises, most of the benefit will come from mileage, and the feedback is only intended to identify whether you are approaching the exercise as you should be.

i find myself always going to another video to describe the concepts in a way i tend to grasp more.. i know everything explained is not expected to be understood immediately, but i always find the wording for these explanations too convoluted to even know the purpose of the exercise. it may just be me being too dumb to understand since the simplified tldrs are easier on me

I really don’t get anything you just said in the previous box and ellipses sections 😀 my brain hurts

Good on you for continuing forwards. Most of all, we want to get our students into the exercises, because that's where the real understanding develops (not all at once, but little by little - right now we just want to make sure that you understand what to aim for with the exercises, and that you're following those step by step instructions as you're meant to). The theory is there to provide *some* kind of basis for the exercises because a lot of students require it, and simply hit too big of a mental block otherwise. But it is perfectly okay for the theory to just go right over your head. I know it sounds strange, but I didn't understand most of the stuff discussed in regards to infinity and rotation until I had to teach it to others - and I was working as a professional illustrator and concept artist before teaching became my full time job. I knew how to leverage these concepts instinctually, but if you asked me to explain it back then, my answer would have been "uhhhhhh"
