really excellent effort, well done!

Good job completing the challenge!

Here are my thoughts:

1) You have not hatched one side as suggested. Not only is it helpful for visualization, it provides a great deal of additional line practice.

2) 20 per page is too much. Boxes are too small with so many. No practice with long lines. 4-6 per page lets you vary sizes, orientations, and allows clearer 3xtension lines for error checking.

3) Some good forshortening throughout, but it would be nice to see more variation, with a few more dramatic foreshotenings.

4) Some line wobble early on, improves later, needs more practice and confidence.

5) Some mistakes were redrawn. Stay away from this habbit. Let the midtake stay, complete the box as is, draw the extensions, see the mistake as a whole. It really helps with visualizing.

Nice work, keep it up.

in imgur, click the three dots on topmof your post, click edit, then click "re-order photos"

pretty sure the post must be set to "hidden" instead of "public" 1st. U can set it back to public after.

I disagree w a lot of what Elodin wrote.

im seeing lot of different forshortening and your extension lines are certainly long enough to see mistakes.

2 things:

1) you havent adding any hatching to a side of the boxes. this is extremely helpful and adds line practice.

2) all of your perspectives are similar, 3/4 top down view. try doing more with one side dominant, other side foreshortened, then try the opposite side dominant, and also try doing a bunch with the bottom VP moved to the top so youre looking from below.

i do agree that youve put too many per page. 4-6 is ideal.

This is not a full submission. Should not be submitted as complete. Put this in your sketchbook and resubmit the full challenge.

Thanks for the critique.

The last page is absolutely not parallel. Ive double checked. :)

In those places where i didnt draw every single convergence, i simply decided i didnt need to because it was obviously VERY wrong, or so close that it didnt matter. I drew the major side to show the mistakes, no need to beat the dead horse.

Im not sure what you mean by different colors. some pages each box was a different color, other pages each side was a different color. Whenever i had boxes close together, i used different colors....

Im also not sure what you mean about lots of parallel pages. every single page had some degree of forshortening, from slight to extreme.

Again, thanks for the critique. I know that i do get a little lazy with keeping my lines straight and confident, especially if Im getting tired on a particular day. I also sometimes get a little too fast and loose with the hatching. I will defs keep practising a LOT. :)

One thing i learned was that sometimes, the accuracy of convergence was less important than the overall direction of the entire page (if for example one is drawing a cohesive scene). It seems that as long as the boxes make sense, and they all 'tend' towards similar VPs, then minor mistakes fade away.

I did learn a LOT doing these. Fun fun.

your curved lines are obviously caused by paper not lying flat when photograped. you can ignore that guy's critique about that. your boxes are crisp, lines are perfect, and convergences are well estimated. keep up the good work.

its very difficultto judge progress when pages are out of order. Make life easier on us by keeping pages in order and right side up, thanks

no critique yet. please combine images into one album.

Superimposed Lines - Fraying on the endpoint, natural but correctable with practice. Good accuracy on start points. Longer lines are arcing, make sure to draw from the shoulder and try not to rush. A LOT of line weight variations. Either from speed or pressure, try to stay consistent and slow down.

Ghosted Lines - many endpoints overshot, but good accuracy overall. Very nice and straight.

Ghosted Planes - Wow. Very accurate and straight. Having trouble finding something to criticize. Obv there are some inaccuracies, but overall excellent.

Ellipses in Planes - inconsistent. Some ellipses were done perfectly, touching edges, overlapping well, no wobble, some others really missed on all counts. This may be a ghosting problem, or maybe you’re getting tired and losing focus. Take breaks, and pay attention to doing a good few ghosts before touching the paper.

Tables of Ellipses - some symmetry problems, some mistakes with edge accuracy. More attention to ghosts.

Funnels - very nice. Good symmetry. Your ellipses are improving. Keep working on slow, steady, accurate ghosts.

Plotted Perspective - no problems.

Rough Perspective - some very bad guesses on the vanishing point. It’s okay to use your pen to guesstimate your VP before placing your line. Also, many lines are wobbly. Dont forget the basics when moving to more complex shapes. Rotate the page, draw from shoulder, make confident strokes. Page 2 is better. Time to start increasing line weight on silhouettes.

Rotated Boxes - nice work. Corners need more extreme rotation, but you’ve obviously understood the exercise.

Organic Perspective - some distorted boxes but again you’ve understood the exercise. You’ll notice that when boxes overlap it becomes difficult to differentiate one from another. This is where line weight on silhouette becomes much more important.
