I think you posted the link for this, if you send me the proper link I can look over your actual boxes :)
Nice job drawing all those boxes and cylinders.
Sadly, you haven't really completed the challenge you you've ignored several key aspects to it, namely extension lines.
Extending your lines is an essential part of this challenge and by ignoring it, you've ignored a lot of possible opportunities to learn. I would like for you to go back and extend the lines for all your boxes, we'll save your cylinders for later as that's a fairly different exercise, once you do that go ahead and draw 25 more boxes (keeping to around 5-6 boxes per page.) using your new knowledge from extending your past boxes, make sure to extend the lines after every page.
Next Steps:
Link your 25 new boxes here and we can forward from there :)
Duplicate submission, marking as complete to clear out the queue
Marking this as complete to clear out the queue, as you're already marked as finished with this lesson
Hey there, there are some major issues with your submission here.
First off you've entirely skipped your line extensions, extending your lines is essential to this exercise, by skipping it you've skipped this challenge. Second, your lines are quite wobbly, I think it would be valuble to go back to lesson one and get your metaphorical sea-legs in making nice straight lines before you continue with this challenge.
Next Steps:
Please go back to lesson one and solve the basic problems you have there before you continue farther into this course.
Please take pictures of your pages individually so I can see them properly and go ahead and upload them to a new imgur album and link it in a comment here, then I can critique your work :)
Next Steps:
Closer pictures please.
Congrats on finishing the challenge!
Here are some notes on your work, you show quite nice improvement as you get more progress under your belt and you seem to have a decent grasp on the main points taught here.Your lines look nice and crisp and In the future when you continue to draw boxes in your warmups I would like you to try to use more extreme perspectives, you tend to stick to fairly small amounts of foreshortening and it would help you a lot to try to push that further.
Next Steps:
Go on ahead to lesson 2 :)
Hey, nice job finishing the challenge!
One thing to look out for is re-drawing lines that you made a mistake with. You should just leave mistakes as they are, trying to "fix" them only draws more attention to them.
Overall you show nice improvement and I think you get the gist of what this challenge is about.
This graphic shows a quite useful way to think about your parallel lines in space, keep up with your boxes in your warmups and goodluck!!
Next Steps:
Go on ahead to the next lesson, lesson 2 :)
Nice job finishing the challenge!
Overall you show nice growth over the course of your boxes, your convergences clean up and you get more confident.
One thing that would go a long way to helping you improve is your super-imposed lines, you tend to loose confidence and wobble with them, if you keep practicing making super-imposed lines in your warmups I'm sure you'll improve.
You could also probably move onto the advanced box exercises at this point.
Next Steps:
Go ahead and move on to lesson2 :)
Your lines start off a bit wobbly, but they get much more confident later on, and your convergences improve very nicely though the challenge.
I would say you're ready to try some of the advanced box exercises.
Next Steps:
Go on to lesson 2 and goodluck!
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
