Hello, Uncomfortable! I've finished working on the cylinders and followed your advice. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Thank you, Uncomfortable! I'll go back and review the notes and video before I redo the challenge.

Struggled several times on the additional masses and heads. I did improve a bit, though.
Thanks, Uncomfortable! I'll keep those critiques in mind!
Cool! Thank you, Uncomfortable!
Oh shoot, I think I made a typo in my submission description!
While it looks like I've drawn another 250 boxes, I didn't. What I've meant is that I submitted the same 250 boxes challenge that I did a month ago for the second time. I'm sorry if it was confusing you, I'm not the best person when it comes to explaining stuff. Also, the reason why I submitted this challenge again is because I haven't received a critique for the first work since a month ago.
It depends on your preferences. For me, I don't think music distracts me when doing the lessons compared to working in a room with ambient noise. Personally, I listen to only instrumental music, mostly chill video game music like Minecraft, since it helps to calm my mind down.
It's my pleasure to help you!
Hi, Fishb0y! Just thought I'd come in to critique for you!
First off, your superimposed lines look really good! The way the lines are made are smooth and you kept the starting points all together at one place. You also did a good job executing your ghosted lines! While there are some that don't seem to reach the endpoint, they remain very confident. The same goes for your ghosted planes; the lines are smooth and straight, but some miss their endpoints. My suggestion is to take a bit more time to "ghost" your lines so you'll be able to hit the endpoints accurately.
You performed pretty well with the ellipses, however, I see some wobbliness present. I also see some of them not making contact with the edges in the ghosted planes exercise. Overall, I think you still did really well with the ellipses section, especially the funnels.
Now, as for the boxes, a few of them in the rough perspective exercises are distorted. Your main focus here for this exercise is to converge your lines that go towards the vanishing point. The rest should be relatively parallel to each other. To make this easier, you can plot the dots first so you can tell where to draw your lines. Moving that aside, your rotated boxes look fantastic and I like the way how you almost rotated them perfectly! And you did a good job with the organic perspective boxes as well. You should try to make the boxes that are close to you a lot bigger to emphasize their distance.
In conclusion, my advice is to add the ellipses to your warm-ups, although, as first priority since it's better to practice lines and boxes as well. You should remember to always use your shoulder and "lock" your wrist and elbow in place as this will allow you to create confident lines as you draw. You've put in a lot of effort to these exercises and I can assure that you're good enough to move foward to the 250 boxes challenge.
Next Steps:
Move onto the 250 Boxes Challenge. Good luck!
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
