    Great work!

    Confident lines - a few wobbles here and there but overall it's all really good! Your Rotated Boxes show you have a good understanding of perspective and moving things in space. The Ellipses in Ghosted Planes all look really great - smooth curves and touching the midlines. The Rough Perspective boxes are a good start and I'm sure your boxes will be even better after the 250 box challenge!

    Next Steps:

    Move on to the 250 box challenge

    Great work!

    Your straight lines and ellipses look confident and accurate. It seems like you were less confident when drawing the lines for your boxes in the Rough Perspective assignment - there's a few wobbles, but it seems like you have a good understanding of perspective. Your Rotated Boxes assignment shows this too. I really love how big and bold you went with your Organic Perspective assignment.

    I think you'll really be able to master boxes with the 250 box challenge!

    Next Steps:

    Move on to the 250 box challenge and work on building up confidence and accuracy when constructing boxes

    Really great work!

    The strokes look really confident and accurate on your straight lines in your first few assignments. It looks like there is a little less confidence and a couple wobbles in some of your ellipses on the Table of Ellipses assignments, but it seems like you found your stride once you got to the Ellipses in Planes. For the Rough Perspective, the boxes all look fairly good - there's a couple that look a little crooked, but overall it's a really successful assignment. The Rotated Boxes assignments looks really good - if you wanted to add to it, you could shade the inner planes of the box, but it's clear you have a good understanding of perspective. The only thing I would say to do before moving forward would be to draw through your boxes on the Organic Perspectives assignment. It's typically the trickiest part of the box, but also the most important in understanding/conveying the structure.

    EDIT: Nevermind! I just realized the Organic Perspective assignment doesn't mention drawing through the boxes! I would call this assignment complete! Great work!

    Once you draw through those boxes, then move on to the 250 box challenge!

Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
