Hi Tofu, thank you for the critique!
It certainly took a lot longer than I first expected. Working a full time job I felt that if I did boxes after work I couln't really concentrate. So most of them where done on the weekends when I was rested. Glad to hear that the images are fine, I'll continue with how I've been taking the pictures. :)
At first I wasn't sure how to construct the boxes. Not really planning them out with dots, but rather placing just one dot and then going for it. After watching Scylla(?)'s video on how she where doing them it sorta clicked. Following the lines and placing a dot further along it. And then rotating the entire page, doing the same for the second line. A bit badly explained from my part perhaps, either way, it gave me a method to plan out the boxes better.
I believe this is where the "too parallel" problem occurs, because I was planning the strokes from the lines I could see, following them in a parallel fashion, rather than aiming towards the vanishing point they where going towards. Certainly something I will be considering.
Really happy with the line-weight and hatching, especially on the later boxes. Felt like I had to give the challenge the time it required, rather than rushing. I've rushed so many times before, and always end up stumbling later on because of it.
Again, thank you for the clear and honestly, motivational, critique. I have some of my own things to draw for a bit to catch up with the 50% rule. But soon I'll be tackling Lesson 2.
Regards,
Strifer
