Thank you for taking the time to critique my work! I definetely had a lot of trouble with ellipses, so I'll care when doing them next time. Your critique is very useful, I'll use your points carefully as I go on to later lessons.

Thanks!

Thanks! I hope you keep going on Drawabox. This lesson was really fun to do, and while I don't know if my work is as clean as you say (?), I appreciate the comment, thank you very much!

Thanks for critting my submission! The revisions helped, so thank you for recommending them. I wasn't sure if you wanted about the amount of pages you wanted with each exercise so I just did two of each lmao.

Hey Fliren!

Gotta say this is really solid. I admire your rotated boxes, really nice stuff. Everything looks super clean and solid. One thing though, making sure theres some convergence in your Organic perspective exercises. Right now, a lot of the boxes on those pages look like they're pararells are not converging anywhere. When you work through the 250 box challenge, read up on the convergence of these pararell lines. I'd also recommend stopping going over the same line twice to correct it. It gets messy easily in the later lessons, just leave it as it is and make sure the next one is better.

Hi ALITTLEMAD!

Great job on your first lesson.

1. First thing I noticed was on your Superimposed lines, there's a lot of fraying. Try not to stray from to original line. It's hard to give advice on this other than just work on it by doing a few in your 10-15min before you begin your assignments.

2. Some of your box pararells are way off. An easier way to think about it is getting down the first 3 lines, or the Y. https://tasty-tangy-meeting.glitch.me/ This is the Y box tool that people use in the 250 box challenge. When you draw the Y, you establish the both sides and top. Then, from there, fill in the PARARELL lines that CONVERGE. This will make more sense when you start doing the 250 box challenge.

3. Just a note on your rotated boxes, make sure that they are turning as they face away from you. A lot of the boxes look like they're facing the same way which is not what we want. https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/9a2db6a0.jpg See how in this pic the furthermost boxes you can't even see the top plane?

I really like your ellipses in this assignment. Think you're ready for the 250 box challenge.

Great! Thanks for getting back.

1. First few things, your ghosted lines all seem to be in one direction.

Generally I wouldn't point it out here, but in your next pages (in particular your Organic Perspective) the lines are really wobbly.

On your rough perspective, alot of it is off.

I'd recommend doing ghosting line exercises in different angles. Remebering to rotate your page, going over the same line over, before commiting to a line. Then, going to your rough perspective exercises, doing essentially the same but taking the corner and ghosting it the the VP.

2. In some of your Organic perspective boxes, some of the planes look off. As if they don't really fit into each other. As you go onto the 250 box challenge, I want you to make sure that the planes of each fits together nicely. This means making sure all the pararell lines go through a VP (Even if you can't see it make sure that idea is there.)

I hope that you incorporate the ghosting exercises into your 10-15min warmup routine as you begin your first challenge. Great job!

Hey DISO, I think your venture in drawing is starting off well, and I hope you keep going.

Thing I noticed in all your submissions is a 'shaky line' particularly evident in any of the straight planes/boxes that you did freehand. Not asking for ruler-straight precision, but I would suggest doing more superimposed lines when your warming up. You may already be doing this but I'll reitorate to rotate the page to a comfortable drawing angle. Confidence in line and strokes is something that I think you could benefit from before moving onto the next lesson.

Don't stress too much about it though, I think if you do the revisions + read up on the first part of lesson 1, you'll get where you need to be.

Hey! Few pieces missing from your submission.

Vivi,

You're work is looking really solid! Great job, I especially like your rotated boxes and rough perspective. They look really good. I honestly don't have a lot to say, other than you knocked this one out of the park. A few pointers though, before you move on to the 250 box challenge.

Your rough perspective cubes have gaps in between the edges. I know this exercise is supposed to be more loose, but do try to connect all the edges with a solid line. I'd emphasize the closer boxes too with a darker line, just to make them standout, and put a little more overlap. Some of the perspective on the boxes are also a bit wonky, but you'll get better when you do the 250 box challenge.

AIVI16,

This is some solid work! Great job on your first lesson, I can tell you've had some experience before. I don't really have much else to say since it is really well done. I'll start by suggesting you begin to use only one line on your organic perspective boxes. On the angles that you got wrong, you did multiple passes over them. It would be beneficial to stop trying to correct them, even if they're wrong and just go with one line for future lessons. It makes things look messy very fast.

Secondly, I think your rough perspective could use some work. Especially on the converging and pararell lines. I wouldn't worry too much about this right now, since you'll improve when you do the 250 box challenge, though. I would just keep in mind those pararells of the verticals.

What a great first lesson! I hope you keep moving forward.
