    hi lazaro92

    organic arrows

    • they are great in general, i think you really understood the assingment, good job!

    leaves

    • here you did also did an amazing work, those who are folded naturally are amazing so congratulations

    branches

    • here i can see that some of them have some visible tails, but thats a minor detail and it doesnt happen that often, so here you also understood the assingment, good job

    plant 1

    • hmm the other drawings are great, but it seems that those drawings are making the plant drawing smaller and i think that such small space couldve put you in some trouble, for example in the branch it didnt seem that you were overshooting the line, and theres a lot of tails in that branch, but otherwise than that, the leaves and the pollen were good

    plant 2

    • the construction part here is amazing, for all the mushrooms, the top one was amazing i loved the texture, the one on the right is also great, but for the texture, im confused, maybe some lines on the texture were random, but im not sure, apart from that i think that its better to only focus on one plant more than other two

    plant 3

    • here the construction is great, but on the texture, ive felt that you could replicate the same texture that you did on the leaves exercise, those leaves are beautiful, but here they seem a little rushed, but otherwise from that this one was great

    plant 4

    • the construction as always is great, but here the main branch seems unfinished, but on the other hand, the texture of the left flower is amazing, and i also think it would be a lot better if you skipped the flowerpot and started to give more atenttion to the plant itself

    plant 5

    • here i cant say a lot, primarilly because you hadnt finished this one

    plant 6

    • this one is amazing, everything, from the construction until the texture, congratulations!!!

    plant 7

    • almost everything here is great, except for some things, the cast shadow at the end of the plant shouldnt be some scratch, i think it would be a lot better if its just pure black, but even with that the drawing is great, and as an advice you couldve made a big leave and from that one make the little ones, that makes your life a little more easy

    plant 8

    • here also everything is amazing, but im not sure why but the petals of the flower seem a little bit stiff, maybe because they are a little bit straight and maybe some curviness would help a lot there, but otherwise than that, the drawing is great

    Next Steps:

    try to finish the cactus drawing before continuing

    Hi beve102

    Organic Arrows

    About the first one: the organic lines look fine, I can’t see any errors on those, so good job!

    Leaves

    These ones are really good — they’re not stiff, and they fold naturally, just like real leaves would. Great work here, I really liked the spiked one!

    Branches

    It seems like you had a bit of trouble with the branch that’s bending like an “n”, but aside from that, every branch seems to follow the rules. Good job on this one!

    Daisy

    This one is really pretty. I can’t tell if you drew the pollen stems, or maybe I’m just confused by the amount of lines. Apart from that, everything else looks fine, so good job!

    Pitcher Plant

    This one is also great. I can’t see anything wrong with it, so good job here too!

    Page 3 Plant

    You did great during the construction phase! It can be a bit difficult to see the overall image here, so a bit of line weight could’ve helped differentiate the petals from the branch. Also, for the branch, using the forking method (drawing a small ball where they split) could’ve helped a bit. But aside from that, it’s an amazing drawing — congratulations!

    Alter

    It seems like you were a bit rushed here. The construction of the petals looks fine, but the construction of the pollen feels a bit hurried. Some of the stems at the ends look more like petals than pollen. Adding a bit of texture to the pollen could help make it look less empty, and some cast shadows would really help here — especially to show the “lower level” of the petals.

    Shiitakes

    The construction here is really beautiful — I really liked it. A little bit of texture would’ve made it even better. I saw that you tried to add some cast shadows, but it seems like you didn’t notice the branch — don’t worry, mistakes happen! Also, on the small shiitake at the intersection, there seem to be some random lines. Remember that too much randomness can make it look a bit cartoonish. When adding texture, try to observe the reference image closely to capture those small details and make your drawing more convincing.

    Verbena Hastata

    The construction here is good too! But from what I see in the reference, you could divide the plant (except for some parts) into two areas: the lower part (the flowery area) and the upper part (the spiky one). The lower part doesn’t look random at all — it’s more like flowers than leaves. For the upper part, try to remember the texture lessons from the second section — you could apply that knowledge here!

    Water Lilies

    In the central part (the pollen area), I can’t really see much, but from what I see in the upper drawing, you did draw them. Try to use line weight to make that area clearer. Apart from that, I can’t spot anything wrong, so good job!

    Ipes

    I see that you tried to break this flower into basic forms — great job with that! Just remember that this flower is quite wrinkled and rough, so adding some texture could’ve helped a lot too.

    Next Steps:

    Please make an organic drawing of any plant.

    Try to choose one that isn’t too difficult.

    First, take some time to observe it carefully as you draw.

    Please don’t rush even if the drawing takes more than an hour.

    After that, try adding some line weight, and finally, add some texture to complete it.

    hi lorem ipsum

    Organic Arrows

    • this ones were great there you follow all the rules, (perspective and overlaping) so this one is great

    Organic Forms

    • here the first one were ok, but theres one problem, you didnt draw trought elipses (https://drawabox.com/lesson/2/5/drawthroughellipses), and also you didnt vary the degrees maybe its my perspective, but i think mostly all of them have the same degree, but for the other page, you did everything great so that one is perfect

    texture analysis

    • yeah, everything here is altright, just one thing, the black line at the left it should be camouflaged with the environment, but other than that this one is perfect, good job

    dissections

    • here everything is alright, in fact, it was cool to watch it and also you followed the rules here

    form intersections

    • here its also perfect everything, even the spheres, so great job

    organic intersections

    • this one is also great, it really seems like a 3d space, so good job in this one too

    hey, english is not my first lenguage if you dont understand something let me know, ill explain it differently, also ill appreciate a review of my work, try to do it honestly even if its rough

    Next Steps:

    just the first page of the organic forms, just do two or three forms to see if you comprenhend the material, also try to exaggerate the elipses, its more for you to know that theres a variation of degrees

    hi amerain 123

    Organic Arrows

    • from what im watching you did understand the concept pretty well, you did apply perspective so its alright

    Organic Forms

    • the first ones were great the degree changes and everything is fine, but the second ones, some ovals do have that "overshoot", but the majority doesnt, that overshoot is more for your perspective, for understanding that what youre drawing is a contour some partial x rays so that overshoot is important, so try to start with the ghosting method for an oval and also start with an overshoot, also in the second one almost all have the same degree, for example if in your first drawing you try (in your mind), to eliminate the other half of the oval to only get the "surface contour", youll see that some are more "curvier" than the other, this is because they all have different degrees

    texture analysis

    • this one is pretty good, you didnt have any mistake here, you did the transition, also you didnt draw rhe forms only the shadows, so everything here is alright

    dissections

    • this one is amazing, i did love the pineapple, this one is amazing

    form intersections

    • this one is great, the only thing is that you didnt fill the page, you made like a path where you did put all the figures, but i think you did understand the concept, so this one is ok, also you applied the line weight in all the perimeter more than locally where the line touches others, but other than those two things i dont see anything wrong

    organic intersections

    • this one is pretty food, everything was right except on some "worms", that their shadow did stick to the form, but otherwise than that, its ok

    hey, english is not my first lenguage if you dont understand something let me know, ill explain it differently, also ill appreciate a review of my work, try to do it honestly even if its rough

    Next Steps:

    ill recommend to only do the second page of organic forms but with an overshoot, otherwise than that it will be complete also try to vary the degree on those, as if you were doing normal x ray contour

    hi Buroba, thanks for the advice , i did the double because i was confused between sheets and pages but now i know the difference, so thanks for worring about that, and also i learned a lot from your review

    https://imgur.com/a/dPGF2Pj

    this is the link of the corrections, in the review you usually said that i should revisit ghosted planes, but in the steps you said ghosted lines, so i did those two, and also the page rotating boxes

    if its needed i could redo the rotating boxes excercise if im missing something, thank you for being so honest in your review it helped me a lot

    4:38 AM, Saturday September 7th 2024

    Great Job Buroba, hey if it isnt a problem, can you review my work? if you agree try to he as honest as possible, and srry if its too much i got confused between the terms of sheet and pages, so if you dont want to thats valid too, thanks :3

    3:31 PM, Thursday September 5th 2024

    i personally think that youre ready for the 250 box challenge, but i saw another send you some corrections, and those seem pretty acurate so i would recommend you to complete those first :3

    hi Buroba, thanks for submitting your work of lesson 1

    i took a fast glance at your work and its pretty accurate, its amazing

    at first at Super imposed Lines those are pretty sharp and accurate, the only part that i see some wobbling its at the ultra long lines but for the rest they are super impresive, good job, really

    on the gosted lines exercise i dont see them, maybe you forgot to upload them

    at ghosted planes same, i see your lines are pretty straight, i dont see any problems in them, so good job

    at tables of elipses they are following all of the steps required plus they are really sharp and accurate, but some of them are overlapping, the small ones specially but that problem seem to disappear with more practice and confidence you got trought the excercise

    at elipses at planes the shape of the elipses are actually pretty sharp, and you seem to be following all the steps i dont see anything bad at them more than the occasional ones (some overlapping or some gaps at the edges), but in general, they are pretty sharp

    at funnels, you need to draw the minor axis, but it seems that the others points are alright even the centers are align with the major axis, i dont think here its necessary to redraw anything, just try to dont skip any step

    same with plotted perspective, i dont see anything wrong with them, so good job, it was pretty sharp

    rough Perspective, they are good, everything seem alright, its kinda amazing to see your improvement, at the end almost all lines were really close to the center, just some wobbling at some boxes but its ok, dont worry

    on rotated boxes, youre drawing trough each box and draw all the boxes plus their gaps are consistent and the boxes are pretty sharp, i dont see any errors in this one so good job

    and at organic perspective everything seems fine, and almost all the boxes are in a dramatic foreshortening, its amazing

    your work really amazed me, good job :3

    i hope my review helped you, also pardon me if you didnt understand something, english isnt my first lenguage

    Next Steps:

    please upload the gosted lines exercise
