That's great, the point isn't to make it perfect but just to know what are the steps and right techniques to attain that level, so it is a very good thing that you are intentional with whatever you do. I can see the improvement in funnels and the line quality gets better with practice, there's no other way to get around it somehow, but thats why we are here. And by making such small mistakes and noticing them we will get better surely.

Once again, great job.

Thanks for taking out the time and looking at my work, really appreciate that. And definitely I'll try these methods you mentioned, I wasn't aware of these but now I know thanks to you, so all good.

Also as a return of a favor I have also looked at your work and pointed some things out, hopefully that will be helpful to you as well.

once again, thanks for the effort mate :D

Hey man, I saw your boxes and I can say they are pretty consistent. There is some minor error in the line on the back side of the boxes while drawing through them, and it is common and quite inevitable so that's not a big deal. A tip i might give is to consider the lines in relation to the ones which join it rather than just the 4 lines going in one direction. You had checked convergence in the opposite direction for a few boxes, but I see that error disappears in later boxes, so kudos to you for understanding that along the way. Also you might want to try going with larger boxes as I think much of these are of the same size, I'd appreciate if you try and experiment on your own with larger sizes and different levels of lines converging. I see two or three boxes which are perfect in their sense, so thats some achievement. But still you must still be incorporating this in your routine and not forget the whole thing altogether. Thickening of the lines is also done nicely, cross hatching is also good. so yeah great job overall. You should definitely review your own work one more time, see some things that you feel you are lacking in or felt a bit difficult to do, then just work on that, other than that you are ready for the next lesson.

hopefully this was helpful :)

Hey man, I saw your submission and it looks you have had improvement in your work. You have followed the rules well and it seems like generally there is not something that I would say to be gone completely in the opposite direction, so good job there.

These exercises were supposed to be hard and throw you towards the deep end. There are few things I want to point out.

1) Your lines are a little wobbly, I assume that you were going for accuracy to hit the point you've laid down. What you can do here is practice more, be patient with it, and use ghosting (never lay a line without ghosting first, you'll see the confidence for yourself). And don't be afraid to over shoot the point you've laid down. Accuracy is not the first thing you want here, its the straight and confident line you are going for.

2) With ghosted planes, try not to jam them too close to each other and also experiment with bigger planes.

3) Ellipse are nice and confident, even accurate which isn't expected at this stage (so heavily appreciated). You might going over the elipses too many times, I would suggest you try to draw more ellipses as a part of your warm up routines even in future.

4) I might have to ask a revision for the funnel exercise because you've got that wrong, the centre line must act as minor axis which should cut the ellipse in two equal part (you must go and read the exercise description in the website), I do not see the case with your ellipses inside the funnel.

5) Boxes exercises are fine, I guess they just make you learn stuff you are not ready for and at the end you get the point, but don't take it lightly as these basics should be understood properly. Lines are wobbly here as well. You ended up doing the rotated boxes nicely. Organic perspective is also good, I hope you understand the Y technique well to construct the boxes.

6) I will ask for one page revsion of Rough perspective.

Overall great job man, you did things consistently, there's much more to learn and I can clearly see the potential you have.

One point to keep in mind, don't think that you are done with this and are not going to have to do these again, practice these exercises, add them to your warm up routines, revisit them from time to time, you will only get better.

I'm sorry, I revisted the page and its in the instructions to go over them two or three times, so that means you are doing fine, my bad, no need to be mislead by anything.

As far as the organic perspective is concerned its not a solid rule to draw through the neighboring boxes but as it is demonstrated in the instruction page or example homework (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/organicperspective) (you can go and see the page) the boxes are drawn transparent. Again its not a strict rule, just something you must also experiment with as it is demonstrated that way. There is nothing wrong with your approach as well.

Hope i made my point clear :D

I have gained a lot of help from your critique on my homework, so i thought i could also try and give back. Hope you find it equally helpful.

Your lines are good but if looked closely they dont look very straight, maybe because you are trying to hit the mark always, I would suggest that don't be afraid to overshoot rather draw the line with more confidence so that you can straighter lines. overlapping ends are more acceptable than less confident or arching lines so keep that in mind and do practice that.

Ellipses are done nicely as it must be your first attempt doing them, practice them in your warm-ups just to get better generally as i don't have anything specific to point out. One thing i would say you can try is that lift your pen when it goes around one and half time rather than going around two full times, because i can see in some ellipses you have gone over them more than two times, just something you can experiment with. Other than that, its great.

In the rough perspective exercise I noticed that mostly just one line is hitting close to the V.P and in some boxes further away, almost all the lines have convergence. It is fine as the purpose of this exercise was to make us aware of the fact that our aim is not perfect in any sense. But i would suggest that more than drawing and practicing on this one i would like you to take some time and observe more, for example if it takes you 10 minutes to complete one page take few extra minutes to be mindful and intentional of aim as close to V.P.

You have stated that you wanted to do rotated boxes again then sure, feel free to do it and try to learn where you go wrong.

One thing i would point out in organic perspective exercise is that you are not drawing through the neighboring boxes. The pages you have done look amazing but you have to draw through the neighboring boxes. I would also like you to try and draw the boxes on the start bigger than you have already drawn. Just experiment and take a little risk on this one.

You've done a great job overall, keep improving, keep giving your best!!

P.S: I'm not requesting any revisions, but I do expect you to do organic perspective and rough perspective again on your own. Just play around and figure out some mistakes, and i would actually encourage you to keep practicing the basics.

Thanks for taking some time and looking at my homework, really appreciate it man.

Hey, thank you, that was very helpful. I know that my lines are getting better from time to time but ellipses are a weak point, I should put more practice into it. The point you told me regarding rough perspective, I just realized I missed the whole point of checking the convergence, thats on me, I tried that again and read the instructions more carefully this time (I have attached the link of my revision)(https://imgur.com/a/83DJ9G3://). I can see imperfections already in the boxes further from V.P but don't worry, I'll practice more. And the reason I left some boxes in the rotated boxes exercise is because I was going for perfection, didn't want to mess up the whole page, but my bad, I will try to push myself a little further with that.

Once again mate, couldn't have received a better critique, it was very helpful, thanks a lot, i will surely try to fix these points!
