No problem!

Great job completing the 250 box challenge!

I can definitely see the improvement you made throughout your process. From the beginning, you hatched the side of the box facing the viewer and extended the lines in the right direction. You also experimented with the orientation of your boxes. Many of the things you struggled with in the beginning resolved as you got to the end of the assignment such as:

1. Wobbly lines

2. Parallel lines

3. Diverging lines

A few pointers I want to give:

1. Hatching lines: Although your hatching did improve, it's still a bit wobbly. Remember to draw from the shoulder with every mark you make.

2. Line weight: adding some subtle line weight to the contours of your boxes will make them feel more solid.

3. Spacing: You did well by drawing the recommended 5-6 boxes per page. Try to keep the boxes a bit further away from the edge of the paper to give more space to your converging lines.

Aside from that, I think you should move on to the next assignment. :)

Congratulations on finishing the 250 box challenge!

You did a good job hatching the side that faces the viewer and extending the lines in the right direction. I see a lot of improvement with the accuracy of your converging lines. You also made sure to add a bit of lineweight to the contours of your boxes. Lastly, you pushed yourself by experimenting with the position and size of your boxes.

Now, there are a few problems I want to address:

1. Parallel lines: Remember that the boxes you draw should be in 3 point perspective, which means that all your lines should converge to a point. It doesn't happen very often, but there are a few boxes with parallel lines that show up throughout your assignment.

2. Hatching lines: Athough you did shade the right side, I did notice they curve a bit and sometimes don't touch the edges of the box. Remember to draw from your shoulder even with the hatching and start at the edge of the box.

Other than that, I think you are ready to move on to the next lesson! :)

Yeah, I saw Elodin's notes on giving critique for the first lesson so I had a general idea of what to look for in the assignments. Now looking back on your work, I can see that the paper for your 2 page assignments are significantly larger than the ones for your 1 page assignments. I wouldn't have been able to tell if you didn't point it out. I think you are ready to move on to the 250 box challenge now.

Hello, I want to start off by saying this is the first time I'm critiquing homework so please feel free to point out any mistakes I might make.

Your assignments are done pretty well, but there seems to be a few pages missing: 1 page of ghosted planes, 1 page of ellipses in planes, and 1 page of tables of ellipses.

1. Lines

A small section of your superimposed lines pages is cut off so please take a picture of the entire page next time. Your lines are straight and confident. For your next step I recommend doing another page of superimposed lines so you could control the fraying on both ends a bit more.

2. Ellipses

It's good that you draw through your ellipses twice. Please remember that smoothness and confidence are prioritized before accuracy as I see they are a bit wobbly. Your funnels are good overall. Just make sure that your minor axis stretches through your ellipses and that they are all cut in half.

3. Boxes

The spaces between your rotated boxes are a bit inconsistent. The outside boxes should be kept closer to the boxes next to them. You can push the rotation of the boxes for organic perspective more. A bit of lineweight to the boxes closest to the viewer will help that illusion of depth.

Additional Notes

Please don't take pictures at an angle as that makes it more difficult to tell where your lines are on the page. Putting your perspective assignments in portrait mode would also make them easier to critique.

I agree with the last 2 points, but my lines don't actually arc that much throughout my homework.
