Here’s the plant with leaves, I chose a much simpler one and only did the construction.

Just finished the golden pothos revision so I added that to the folder too.

Sorry for the very late response, it's been more than a month and I'm still not done with these so I think I'll just submit what I've finished for now. I did a page of branches and the daisy demo.

Ah ok, I was definitely overcomplicating the organic intersections. Thank you for the critique!

Sorry these revisions are a month late, I had to take a break from drawing due to issues with my shoulders.

The boxes in your revisions of course still aren't perfect, but good work on keeping the vanishing points farther away from the boxes and I'm glad ScyllaStew's video is helping you. This does look like an improvement over your original submission, so I think you can go on to lesson 2. Keep drawing one or two boxes during your warmups though so you can get those convergences down.

Well done on completing 250 boxes and getting it done in only a month.

Looking through your submission, it seems like there were a few issues that persisted through most of your boxes. The biggest one I notice is that almost all of your boxes have pretty dramatic perspective, with the vanishing points being close to the boxes. In some cases, one or more vanishing points was closer to the box than the others, resulting in corners with angles less than 90 degrees and boxes that looked distorted. If you're practicing some more with boxes, try drawing them with faraway vanishing points, even stretching off the page, and try keeping all the vanishing points at similar distances from the box.

The other issue I notice is that you were getting mixed up with your convergences and where the corners should be placed. Sometimes the groups of lines were converging in the wrong direction, or the back corner threw you off. This is something that it looks like you were improving at on the last several pages, but if you haven't already, I'd suggest taking a look at ScyllaStew's video on her approach to the box challenge. She chooses the position of the corners by ghosting out edges and then placing dots where she thinks they'd intersect. Then she makes sure the corners all intersect nicely in the center before she places the back corner.

One other final critique is that your lines have a bit of wobble to them and the hatching lines aren't always going at the same angle.

Honestly, despite the errors you mentioned, this is a very solid submission. From the first box your convergences were looking ok, the line weight was good and the hatching was consistent. You also varied up the sizes and orientations of your boxes a lot which is good. If I had to give some minor critique, it's that sometimes your boxes are a little too dramatic-looking (one corner angle being less than 90 degrees), and I'm not quite sure if the boxes with one edge directly pointing at the viewer are allowed, like box 47 (I avoided that when doing my challenge, but I've seen conflicting answers, so if I'm wrong then ignore me).

I think you can safely move on to lesson 2. If you feel like you need more practice with boxes, you can try some of the advanced exercises here: https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/2/

Sorry for the late reply, but this resubmission does look a bit better. One little critique is that in the fourth box from the top on the left, a few ellipses in that bottom section are a little inconsistent with the rest. One looks egg-shaped and another is laying on its side. The ellipses look tighter though and are touching the sides more, so good work. I'll go ahead and mark this as complete.

Hi, here's my critique on your submission:

Lines

• Overall, your lines look mostly drawn with confidence, but they tend to wobble in the exercises that are focused more on accuracy like superimposed lines and rough perspective. Accuracy is something that'll come with more practice, just focus on making smooth, ghosted strokes for now.

• There's some curve to your lines in the ghosted planes homework, so it's possible you weren't drawing enough from your shoulder here. This should improve with practice as well.

• Your lines look faint in certain exercises, so you may have been pressing too hard or had an issue with the ink.

Ellipses

• Your ellipses in general are drawn through appropriately, but they can definitely be tightened up. When drawing through, follow the exact same motion you made the first time around, even if you missed your target.

• Ellipses in planes looks good. A little bit of distortion on some of the ellipses, but most are fitting within the planes well.

• With the tables of ellipses, all ellipses should be touching the top and bottom of a box. There were several boxes where you had multiple small ellipses touching each other, but this isn't the goal and it's kind of an excuse to draw less accurate ellipses. Also, make sure every ellipse in a box is oriented at the same angle, and not rotated to fit within a certain space. One more minor critique is that I'd like to see a little more variation in the degrees of your ellipses. Try making them very skinny, or very large circles.

• Funnels look ok, but again, most of the ellipses are drawn at almost the same degree. The ellipses at the ends also need to come closer to touching the edges.

Boxes

• Plotted perspective looks good. If you're doing this one as a warmup, try changing the height of the vanishing points and applying hatching to the front faces of the boxes.

• Your lines are wobbly in rough perspective like I mentioned before, and a few boxes have edges that are lined up nicely into a rectangle, but aren't quite in the right position. A good rule of thumb to follow is that in one point perspective, the back face should have a similar shape to the front face.

• Rotated boxes looks about how it's supposed to. One minor problem is that a few of the boxes in the corners have one or two edges missing. Also, be careful with your back faces, some of them aren't converging correctly and their width should be decreasing as they turn away from the viewer.

• You did a good job of making your organic perspective homework look 3D, but the boxes themselves have some distortion due to either edges converging in the wrong direction or corner angles being below 90 degrees. You'll get practice with this in the box challenge though.
