    Thank you.

    I'll do my best to improve on those points.

    Hello Bobep,

    I'd like to give a shot at giving feedback for your lesson 1. Keep in mind I'm myself working on the 250 box challenge so I'm not an expert but I hope my own experience with lesson 1 can help you.

    Your superimposed lines look good. You start clearly from one point and keep tapering to the opposite end. I noticed you didn't do any curved superimposed lines. It might be good to try a few of those as well even if they're not perfect. Your ghosted lines and planes look very good. I think your lines look clean and accurate.

    Your tables of ellipses look fine as well and there's definite progress going from the first page to the second. Same for the ghosted elipses in planes. I spot some deformed ellipses here, but I don't think it's a big deal. As you keep doing ellipses once in a while as warmup these will slowly disappear. Your funnels are good. I do spot that there's some ellipses that are misaligned. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/notaligned . Try to pay attention to it as you move further. But overall good job.

    Your plotted perspective is fine. As for the rough perspective, it looks pretty decent. It's not easy to keep strictly to a one-point perspective, as you develop your understanding of 3D space, this will improve.

    I really like your rotated box exercise. It came out very well. You kept the spacing between boxes tight and use the existing ones to your advantage. In a few cases as we go further from the center, I find you haven't shortened the box enough, making it feel more like a shift in perspective rather than rotation. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/notrotating Overall definitely good job. Your organic perspective is good. In general your linework here is really starting to shine. You're conveying the scale pretty well going from foreground to back. Though once in the back you keep your boxes somewhat the same size, I think a few very small boxes would have helped here. But I have had trouble with it myself. Your box convergences are going in all directions, this is something the 250 box challenge will help you with, so I don't consider that a problem.

    Overall, good job on this. You show great progress and I think you're ready for the 250 box challenges. Keep doing these exercises in small scale as a warmup. One thing of note is that it would be nice if you rearranged the order of your submission. If you keep the drawings in order going from the superimposed lines 1 and 2 to ghosted lines and so on, it becomes far easier for someone reviewing to spot your growth. I had to shift a lot through the drawings finding the correct order to review them and note your progress. But that's not a drawing error. I hope this helped you. Good luck with your 250 box challenge

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
