    Hello Uncomfortable!!

    Thank you very much for the feedback!!

    I think all of the issues you mentioned here have been something I struggled with throughout the whole course and will definitely continue to try to drill into my head.

    I just wanted to thank you again for creating this amazing resource for everyone and a great community to learn and grow with. I can't thank you enough.

    I will definitely be coming back to give a go at the 2 challenges I have not completed and will continue to implement these exercises into my routine

    happy holidays!

    Thank you for the critique!

    I will really need to work on the not sketching part. I keep making the same mistakes not constructing properly.

    Heyo Acwan!!

    Great stuff here! I didn't see many issues, just small thing here and there

    When Drawing the "hatching" on the sides of the boxes you created, make sure to take your time and make the mark with confidence. I can see there was quite a bit of wobbling going on. you can try lessening the number lines and spacing them out.

    With some of the boxes, something I noticed was, the convergence lines of the 3 sets were very parallel ( like box #92). As you went further in the exercise I think you fixed the issues there though. just something to keep in mind!

    Attached is a link and some info I received for one of my critiques.

    "when you are looking at your sets of lines you want to be focusing only on the lines that share a vanishing point. This does not include lines that share a corner or a plane, only lines that converge towards the same vanishing point. Now when you think of those lines, including those that have not been drawn, you can think about the angles from which they leave the vanishing point. Usually the middle lines have a small angle between them, and this angle will become negligible by the time they reach the box. This can serve as a useful hint."

    just more info for you to keep in mind in the future!!

    One last thing, try playing around with more extreme foreshortening!

    awesome stuff

    Feel free to move on to lesson 2 if you have not already!

    Hello Pillowvisions!

    welcome to Drawabox! A great start here!!

    With the first few exercises really try to just let the line go and not aim it. This will help with the wobble in your lines. Just ghost a few times and put the pen down. I like to concentrate on the point I'm trying to reach the whole time I'm ghosting. As you get better and better, try to extend the lines when warming up as well!

    For the ellipses, try starting out with 3 rotations and lower it to 2 once you get more confident. Also just put it down without thinking too much, like the lines. Once it is down go with it.

    The perspective sheets looks great and show your understanding. The free hand ones will improve as you continue on

    The rotated boxes are looking sweet as well!When you try it another time, try to push the convergence and make them sharper. this will give more of the ball look like the example.

    the organic perspective boxes are looking really neat! Watch out for the different rates of convergence. Since they are in the same 3d space, their convergences would be similar to each other. So keep it consistent!

    good luck on the 250 box challenge!

    I think it will give you a lot more confidence with you lines!

    make sure to use these different exercises as warm up!

    Next Steps:

    250 box challenge

    warm up using lesson 1 exercises

    Hello Darioszlain!!

    Happy New Year!

    Yeah I totally understand that. I'm basically on my third go at drawabox and it can be very difficult to stay on it.

    I had that same experience with my second try with getting no feedback on my lesson 2. it really throws you off and kind of hurts as well haha.

    if you can, I really recommend getting official critique. You can start with the tier 1 subscription and see how you like it and take it slow. You can always cancel as well.

    When getting community feedback try and post on all the different platforms! hopefully someone can help you out! Try to give others feedback as well:)

    take care and keep doing what you love!!

    Thank you very much for the critique!

    These tips really help a lot!

    With these exercises i found myself becoming less and less confident with my line so I will really try and focus on just letting them go.

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.
