This is the full submission! The site got wrong (old) album title from imgur. Sorry for smudges: I couldn't figure out how much time gel pens need to dry. I used white on technical lines and when I made too many dots so it became confusing. Also you probably can see some pencil marks: I used it for technical notes like boxes numbering.

Hi Cyberkitty, Congratulations on getting through the 250 box challenge. Here are some things you did good as well as some points of improvement:

  • Your linework looks fine. There is a bit of uncertainty throughout with the occasional wobbly/arching lines. Keep this in mind and keep practicing straight and confident lines and you'll be fine.

  • Hatching lines undershoot their bounds in the first pages but after that they look good.

  • Similarly you start off making some perspective mistakes but they decrease as you progress. In the last few pages the only consistent mistakes are the back lines which are off. This is very common and with practice even these should disappear. For some people it helps to change the order in which you draw a box as described in this guide.

  • There is a nice variety in the size and proportion of your boxes. However the orientation of all your boxes is very similar and it would be good to experiment with this as well. You can look at this example as reference.

Overall very nice work. Good luck with lesson 2

Next Steps:

  • Continue with lesson 2

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
