It's my pleasure.

You're welcome. Happy I could be of assistance.

Sure thing. Glad to help!

Hello. You skipped Lesson 1.

Don't forget to look at the funny and… interesting comic by Uncomfy one more time.

Strengths

• Line Extensions: The purpose of these tools is to assist us in analyzing the behavior of those lines as they become farther away, including whether they converge or diverge. At this point, you should be experienced at extending your lines back, but it's still very crucial that you take care to make sure it's in the correct direction.

• Construction Lines: Your line quality improves dramatically while retaining confidence. This requires you to spend the greater part of your time in the stages of preparation and planning, and then confidently and unhesitatingly completing each mark. Understand that confidence comes before precision.

Weaknesses

• Experimentation of Boxes: You more or less drew the same box over and over again. Explore varying the size, orientation, and foreshortening of the boxes. Maintaining this behavior gives us advantages and advances our spatial reasoning. Engage with the lengths and angles of the Y's arms to change its orientation and proportions. Additionally, you alter the foreshortening rates for this set, going from dramatic (with rapid convergence) to shallow (with moderate convergence).

• Convergence: Your lines seem to converge in pairs commonly. Make sure the lines converge as precisely and as continuously as possible by concentrating on the sets of lines. Pay attention to the way your marks overlap, and whenever you are deciding how to reorient a specific line, always consider all four edges of that set - the ones you have already drawn, the one you are drawing right now, and the ones you haven't drawn yet. As mentioned here, "Do not draw your boxes with lines that are actually parallel on the page."

• Improvement: They all look the same. I don't think you got better

Summary

Good job, but please finish Lesson 1 first.

I believe you're capable of seeing this through to the end. Don't give up yet.

Hello.

please read

Strengths

• Perspective: In order to bring the focus of the analysis closer to sets of convergent lines, the Y Method provides a more structured approach, and the line extensions themselves reinforced the matter of convergence. The corner that is closest to the viewer is represented by the central point of the Y, which is where all the arms link, in the conventional way that we build our boxes using the Y Method.

• Construction Lines: This requires you to spend the greater part of your time in the stages of preparation and planning, and then confidently and unhesitatingly completing each mark.

Weaknesses

• Improvement: You didn't seem to learn or improve as you went along…

• Line Extensions: Your extensions are really short. They're supposed to extend far enough to where you can see all four points converge as one. The purpose of these tools is to assist us in analyzing the behavior of those lines as they become farther away, including whether they converge or diverge.

• Way Too Many Per Page: "You will be drawing 5 to 6 boxes per page. No more, no less."

• Convergence: Your lines seem to extend completely parallel to each other. Make sure the lines converge as precisely and as continuously as possible by concentrating on the sets of lines. Pay attention to the way your marks overlap, and whenever you are deciding how to reorient a specific line, always consider all four edges of that set - the ones you have already drawn, the one you are drawing right now, and the ones you haven't drawn yet. As mentioned here, "Do not draw your boxes with lines that are actually parallel on the page."

• Experimentation of Boxes: Most of them look pretty similar to each other. You should explore varying the size, orientation, and foreshortening of the boxes. Maintaining this behavior gives us advantages and advances our spatial reasoning. Engage with the lengths and angles of the Y's arms to change its orientation and proportions. Additionally, you altered the foreshortening rates for this set, going from dramatic (with rapid convergence) to shallow (with moderate convergence).

• Where are boxes 20-80?

Summary

I feel as though the challenge shows that you did not invest the time and effort that is required of them to go through the instructions thoroughly.

Please start over.

Ultimately, this is nothing more than practice, and the goal is to gradually optimize and further develop our spatial thinking abilities rather than constructing a perfect box. The idea is to become familiar enough with three-dimensional space so that it doesn't stand in the way of your ability to express yourself through art. Furthermore, conquering this task will be an internal source of strength that you can rely on to overcome any obstacle - rather than something external to strive for. Like Uncomfy explained, the greatest effect that became clearly visible over time was the level of control it created in you and, perhaps more importantly, the awareness of this self-control as an inherent part of who you are. But having genuine confidence in your ability to succeed isn't the initial step; rather, it's the final reward. "Complete this overwhelming task, and you can complete any overwhelming task." Don't take this the wrong way.

Summary

I'd like to request some revisions.

I want you to draw 5 or 6 more boxes. Prove to me that you can understand…

• Making your line extensions long enough until they reach a vanishing point (or off of the page)

• Converging all four (4) edges properly

• A balance of both dramatic foreshortening & shallow foreshortening

Show me that you have a good enough grasp of the material to continue working beyond this challenge.

I believe you're capable of seeing this through to the end. Don't give up yet.

Hello. With the concepts we studied throughout Lesson 1, you successfully overcame Drawabox's titular challenge. Well done!

• Improvement: These advantages have been made in line extensions, convergence, confident linework, etc. I would say that all of your boxes were consistently good from start to finish!

Weaknesses

None. Exceptional Work.

You may move on to Lesson 2.

Congratulations on completing the 250 Box Challenge - as frustratingly boring as it probably was. Though the journey through art is long, this is your first step past the fundamentals and a miracle will happen for sure.

Hang in there for me. Good luck!

Hello. I noticed you didn't use ink…

Good job on completing Lesson 1. This is an obstacle that most students never get past.

1. Lines

No issues here.

Your lines are smooth, straight as possible, and constant - with no wavering. They begin at a single point and conclude precisely at another, and getting into the habit of thinking before you draw is the objective. Take into account the intended purpose of the mark you are about to create, whether it is the best mark for that, and whether another mark already exists that is fulfilling the same objective.

2. Ellipses

No issues here.

You've drawn your ellipses through several times, each time with a specific goal in mind. These concern the representation of circles in three dimensions and the understanding of how the ellipses used to represent them vary according to the rotation and movement of those three-dimensional shapes.

3. Boxes

Plotted Perspective: Where are the other 2 frames?

Rough Perspective: Where are the other 4 frames? (You needed two pages.)

Rotated Boxes: Boxes are closely related to perspective, which helps us represent 3D spaces on a flat page. I think you did well, though your boxes don't seem to rotate along each major axis. While 3D space exists as a set of each of the three dimensions, boxes give us three different sets of edges, each flowing in a single direction of a single dimension and perpendicular to the complementary two.

Organic Perspective: Boxes are closely related to perspective, which helps us represent 3D spaces on a flat page. Most of the edges seem to be diverging rather than converging. "As we add more however, we'll have to focus on having those edges converge consistently. To do that, you can ghost in the direction you think the edge should go, and place a little point somewhere along that path."

Summary

Good job, but…

I can see you did all of your homework digitally. This is for the worse as digital tools have the opposite effect that we're looking to achieve when we're learning. Here's why.

That being said, I feel as though there are no major misunderstandings or setbacks regarding the instructions otherwise - so I will mark this lesson as complete. Please continue your work into the box challenge and Lesson 2 using a 0.4-0.6mm fineliner pen and paper (any kind will do). Also work on your boxes.

You may move on to the 250 Box Challenge, while adding all of these Lesson 1 exercises into the pool for your regular warmup routine.

You understand what it takes and is required to create confident, fluid lines with the physical activities and approaches that enhance general control and understanding of perspective. By beginning with the fundamentals of perspective, you can focus on the important component of art, which is our comprehension of 3D space and how to represent it on a flat page. Well done!

Rotated Boxes: Boxes are closely related to perspective, which helps us represent 3D spaces on a flat page. I think you did well, though your boxes don't seem to rotate along each major axis. Also, your end result doesn't look like a sphere of boxes. Our goal with this exercise is to construct a series of boxes arranged around a central point in three dimensional space.

Organic Perspective: Boxes are closely related to perspective, which helps us represent 3D spaces on a flat page. Most of the edges seem to be diverging rather than converging. "As we add more however, we'll have to focus on having those edges converge consistently.
