Thank you for the critique! I really appreciate it and will keep it all in mind. Yes, my 250 Box Challenge submission did get critiqued. I was thinking about redoing it, but it would probably be a better use of time to jump right back into redoing Lesson 2. Thanks again!

Looks all good! Best of luck on the 250 Box Challenge.

Congratulations on finishing Lesson 1!

My first time doing all the work, have done till lesson 6 but not finished all the work actually :v

It's best not to look ahead too far and do all the work first before continuing. You don't want to get into the trap of taking in large amounts of information without practicing it. It's going to take a while to get to Lesson 6, even if you've watched all the material. As Uncomfortable has said, Drawabox and learning to draw as a whole isn't a race or even a marathon, it's a journey. Take as much time as you need to take in and practice the material.

Lines

Your lines look good! Good job ghosting and completing them in one, confident stroke. Nothing much to say here.

Ellipses

Overall, your ellipses look quite good. For the Ellipses in Planes exercise, remember that it's better to have a nice, even ellipse that slightly misses the boundary lines than a slightly wobbly ellipse that gets exactly within the borders. This is especially an issue with the bottom-left ellipse on the second page. Ellipses should be more or less symmetrical. If there is visible lopsidedness, you've done something wrong.

Great job on Funnels! They're almost perfect, albeit the slight offset from the axis on the ones on the corner. I found these quite difficult when I was doing Lesson 1.

Boxes

There aren't any glaring issues with your boxes, you've understood the material. Trust me, you'll get a lot more practice once you do the 250 Box Challenge. Don't worry if your boxes aren't perfect, you have plenty more ahead of you. It does seem like your lines became more wobbly and less confident in the Boxes section (especially in Rough Perspective) compared to the Lines section, however. Remember, accuracy is not your goal, confidence is. Ghost your lines and execute them in one, clean stroke. It doesn't matter if you missed your mark a bit, your accuracy will improve with practice.

Reposted with correct order. https://imgur.com/gallery/RdqdQbx

My apologies, it seems like the order on Imgur is more severely messed up than I thought it was. I'm going to reupload everything.

I only count 234 boxes. You need to finish or upload the remaining 16.

As I said in the submission, a couple pages are missing because Imgur didn't upload them for some reason and is still giving me errors when I try to add them to the post. I have done the full 250.

Please also renumber the boxes from first to last chronologically

The boxes are sorted chronologically, although I'm sorry that the box numbering resets a couple times but that's because I thought at the time I had to restart the challenge due to not doing it for a while. I don't really want to go back, change the numbers, and rescan all the pages because this would take a really long time.

Thanks for the response!

Edit your posts to Imgur? Well, just make an account and post them. If they're linked to an account, they should be able to be edited. I'm not sure about them being deleted for no reason though... I've never seen that happen before.

Your revised page of funnels looks great; I'd say you're all set for 250 boxes! I've so far done just under 50 boxes, and boy... it's really challenging, much more so than the exercises in the box section of Lesson 1. Just keep going though and you should get the hang of it. Best of luck!

Good work! keep in mind that this is my first critique, so I might have missed some things.

Lines

Lines seem all good. For Superimposed Lines, there's only fraying on one end, which is good, and they mostly accurate. Good job, especially on the arced lines! I found these really hard to do. Mine were a total mess.

Ellipses

Ellipses need some work.

For Ellipses in Planes, your ellipses are well done. They lie for the most part within their respective planes, they lie within the circle and are only drawn over 2-3 times.

For Tables of Ellipses, some of the medium-to-large ellipses are either not completely filling the space or having some overlap with neighboring ellipses. The circular ellipses seem better.

For Funnels, I'm not really sure what happened. A few of the funnels are well done, such as the ones in the top-right corner. Most of them, however, have really bad overlap. The one in the bottom-left corner is the worst offender. You should definitely do another page of funnels. On the bright side, good job on the minor axes! They should cut the ellipses into 2 symmetrical halves, and you've done so.

A trick that really helped me when drawing the ellipses was thinking about their contact points with the bounding/box and other ellipses when ghosting. Here's a quick guide I made to demonstrate what I mean: https://imgur.com/gallery/axi1Vsj (excuse the horrible ellipses, I'm still working on mine as well!)

Boxes

Everything seems mostly alright here. I'm far from an expert at boxes, but here's what I noticed.

For Rough Perspective, your lines have a good bit of wobble to them. Remember, the goal is not accuracy but confidence in your lines. Ghost your lines. Before doing a page of boxes, doing a few Ghosted Planes is a great warm-up. The only other thing is that you've forgotten to finish is constructing the back face of the bottom-most box on the first page... or is it just infinitely long?

For Rotated Boxes, good job! This one was really tricky for me, so please take everything I say with a grain of salt. For your outermost boxes on the axes, you should rotate them more than you have. You're close to not actually rotating your boxes. As you go out from the origin, the size of the boxes on the page decreases much faster than one would think it would. Compare your outermost boxes to those in Uncomfortable's example homework.

Great work overall! Just review your ellipses, and then you'll be set for 250 boxes.

Thanks so much for the detailed and in-depth feedback! I've done another quadrant of the Rotated Boxes, and it looks much better! I spent a lot more time ensuring that the initial box was drawn correctly to prevent inaccuracies from building up later down the line. I tried crosshatching, and it really helped keep things clear.

I also did another page of Tables of Ellipses.

Thanks again for the critique!
