thanks for having a look.
thanks for having a look.
i am also working through same challenge. one thing i have started to do recently is to triangulate the inside hidden corner of the box before finalizing the last corner of the outside of the box.
my process has gone to:
1 start with the y
2 draw two planes, usually bottom of the Y, ensuring adequate convergence
3 triangulate the "hidden" inside corner but dont yet draw the hidden lines to it
4 triangulate the top outside corner with the help of the inside hidden corner
hope that makes sense. it has helped me
nice. you can see clear progression getting better as you went. iblike lastbone
i just finished lesson 1. your work is an inspiration. awsome!
i too just finished lesson 1 and moved on to 250 box challenge. you have done a very good job throughout and this is one of the best i have seen in reviewing about a dozen. good work and cary on
Next Steps:
250 box
i have also just submitted lesson 1 and have been reviewing several others submissions. yours is one of the best i have seen. your lines are confident and wobble free. the last few pages in particular were very well done. no doubt you are ready for 250 box challenge. good work
Next Steps:
very well done. ready for 250 box challenge
thank you so much for your detailed review. i will incorporate your suggestions.
thank you so much for your detailed analysis. i will incorporate your recomendations.
congrats getting through it. i am working through ir right now. your boxes on the early pages were much better than mine right out of the gate. your lines are very confident and seem to hit your end targets very well, almost never overshooting. well done
lines are wobble free and confident. but you seem to overshoot points often. seems to me maybe you could try to slow down your stroke a tiny bit and maybe ghost a couple more times to help better hit your target.
I just finished lesson 1 as well so no expert.
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
