I think you can always make kind of file in which you will gather references printed from Internet.
As you would make it in your PC-you can have (in real world,substantial;) many files in which you will gather ideas, photos,pictures, etc concerning specific topics, new projects you want to draw,etc. Ofc best example are any kind of art books (from different games, movies, artists,).
Yep, think it's one of the issues we have to learn,handle from this challenge.
I'm getting to 40th now and similar situation.
But I already see if my box will be broken when I made some edge too short,too long. So when I begin to estimate place for another corner= for drawing later another edges of given side,face of the box, I'm trying to draw lines almost parallel (little angle of covergence to the existing lines) to them. And ofc I try to imagine if resulting edge wont be too short/long in comprasion to the existing,parallel (almost) one.
Not sure if it is correct,and if I explained it clear,but I think that it works good for me.
My main problem is AFTER estimating new corner.Even if I have it nicely placed,it's nothing if seconds later I draw some curvy or wabbling line,not getting to that point;/ my boxes is almost broken then,looks bad
In my opinion it's not a problem at all.
As I understand,this challenge is one big self-improvement camp. Sumbiting it athe the end and getting crtitique later is just a wrap up.
YOU are the first and only reviewer during the challenge.It's you who, after each page of boxes, should analyse, find and learn from mistakes.
So using your own symbols,little comments on page -all to show yourself what was done wrong,isnt any problems. Ofc you shouldn't exaggerate and make pages too messy,not clear enough.
Btw- on your pictures, arent those green arrows pointing wrong direction?;)
In your place, I would use only one arrow (for each 4 lines pointing one VP=1arrow for gteens,one for blues etc).But they are so tiny that arrow for every line isn't a problem too;)
good luck
.
First of all,thank you for such precise,long critique and explanation.Apreciate it
Second-sorry for my not perfect English (possible some mistakes here and there),not my native language and I dont bother to use Google Translator to check everything. Don't have so much free time-prefer to use it for drawing boxes;)
About Imgur- yes, I made new album (called Drawabox Lesson 1) .Then I loaded there all pictures concerning my homeworks. Still only option I saw when I was in that album was sth like: "create links for pictures"-and yes,it created separate link for each picture;/
Would be nice to find solution before sharing new part of homeworks.
About Staedlers-tnx for tip, will try in future maybe,but now I've bought few Sharpies (matter of expenses;/),they have to be enough for now.
If, when;) I will sink deeper into drawing I will probably buy sth better=will try Staedlers for sure.But tnx.
To the exercises:
About unfinished ghiosted planes;As I mentioned-these were additional charts,from warmups (already made in ink).Original 2 (were still in pencil) are reused for ellipses later. Edit: I see yo've already seen that;0
Don't know how "marking lesson as complete" is working.Do I need official green light to do another lessons-in this case 250 box challenge.Or is it more green light for sumbitting to review next works?
About funnels-tnx and yes.I'm aware about that narrower-wider case. But as I understood video explanation, that was and "optional" choice, lvl 2 ;) Because I was rushing and already bit tired (made lesson 0 and 1 in 5 days),I've chosen easier way for this exercise;)
Yep,your rotated boxes is great;)I understand your explanation and see my mistakes.
I was aware that those border boxes should be smaller and smaller but I was fixed a little about that "avoid distortion and foreshortening" advice;) and finally I got what I did...
"To improve it I would say you should rather than replicate the same box from different rotated versions, try to make it turn in other ways too"-yes, I will do that with next warmups but at that moment I was just focused to make them look as "correct" as I could do them.And ofc to "avoid foreshortening" golden tip ;) But yes,now I see and understand that rotating 360 degrees issue.
One more time,tnx for your time and all explanation. Will do better next time;)
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
