    Hi, Moon555!

    Congratulations on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    Your boxes look SO GOOD!!! Are you sure you didn’t use a ruler?? I really like them! And the colors you used for additional lines!

    But back to business: your lines are smooth and confident, they converge nicely, the inner corner is a little off but it will be better with time.

    It looks like you didn’t use any line weight and even if you aren’t obligated to do it, I would recommend you to start using it as it will be a necessary thing in future lessons.

    Your hatching lines look a little weaker, were you using a dying pen for them? Don’t torture yourself, these lines are still a good way to earn experience so draw them the same way as you do all other free hand lines for this course.

    Overall you did a great job so I think, you are ready for Lesson 2, good luck!

    Next Steps:

    Hi, cxlcium!

    Congratulations on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    Your lines converge nicely, boxes vary in orientation and how drastic perspective is and they are big! And it’s very good as it’s easier to analyze them.

    It looks like you didn’t use any line weight and even if you aren’t obligated to do it, I still would recommend you to start using it as it will be a necessary thing in future lessons.

    Overall you did a great job so I think, you are ready for Lesson 2, good luck!

    P.S. I did my 250 boxes before new guidelines so I don’t actually know how important to date them ^__^’’

    Hi, lakshyan!

    Congratulations on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    Your lines mostly converge nicely, there is still room to grow but don’t worry about it as it will come with time.

    I see your struggling with hatching until the very end, these lines must be done the same way as all the other lines drawn by hand during the course: with confidence and ghosting, don’t be afraid to take your time and plan the hatching better. Also it looks like you pen is dying? Badly working materials only will get in your way so don’t hesitate to change them too!

    It looks like you didn’t use any line weight and even if you aren’t obligated to do it, I still would recommend you to start using it as it will be a necessary thing in future lessons.

    All boxes are here, so congratulations on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    You did great! Your boxes look clean and precise, your lines mostly converge well and line weight shows the orientation well too.

    You didn’t use hatching and though it’s not obligatory well, I would recommend to do it in future lessons as it will be very useful and also gives you additional way to lvl up your line work.

    In the end I think you are ready for Lesson 2, good luck!

    Thank you!!!

    Thank you for all your hard work! Here are the photos and reference https://imgur.com/a/2lEMEqj. I'm a little unsure about intersections of shapes on the ends of the legs, maybe I needed to push them further inside?

    I'm very sorry, I missed your video!!! I only noticed the link now.

    These are A4 scans! I cut them from A3 so their edges are kinda ugly so I remove them after scanning, for this one I kept them as they are.

    For very thick lines I used brush pen trying to create shadows to bring shapes more.

    About line weight: I didn't expect to stop using a lot of black being SO difficult.

    I actually didn't want to add any details at my first exercise but brush pen was too addictive (:. Here I wanted to add more details then ended up doing but I think image got too busy already and it would be too difficult to understand main shapes.

    Hi, NOCTUFLARE! Congrats on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    You boxes look good!

    You use both hatching and lineweight well, but even at last boxes not all of your lines converge so I recommend to take your time and use as many dots and ghosting to figure out the line position as you need.

    Also I would recommend you to do boxes in bigger variety of proportions and orientation, for the last one you can check this link: https://imgur.com/Kqg6uMX

    In the end I think you are ready for Lesson 2, good luck!

    Hi, PLZHELPDISNOOB! Congrats on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    You boxes look good!

    I see you struggling with hatching, it must be done the same way as any other line in DAB: with ghosting and determination, don’t rush and lines will be straight and in the place there you want them to me.

    Even at last boxes not all of your lines converge so I recommend to take your time and use as many dots and ghosting to figure out the line position as you need.

    In the end I think you are ready for Lesson 2, good luck!

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.

Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.
