Hi Andpie,

Thank you for this critique! I found that attempting to make the construction lines more solid on this pass, made some more of the drawings in the "free 50%" feel a little more solid as well.

Here are the re-worked pages:

Thank you.

And Happy Holidays!

Do you still have a stack of your drawings and or exercises? I've found sometimes taking a day when things are relaxed, it's helpful to look at past works. I might make a cup of coffee and just leaf through what's already been done.

Then, maybe just starting with some warmups.

I just got back into drawing after being away from it for two months working on a writing project. Started in on the next lesson, just drawing along to the demo video, and it's helped ease back into it. Did one first page of insects, and posted on the anything a dragon challenge.

Thank you for the in-depth critique. Looking back, I was surprised at how isometric/oblique I did make those first boxes. I’ve tried making these new ones more in three-point perspective. I was surprised to see how much boxes in the real field of vision are distorted by a phone camera.

I look forward to seeing if these are improved.

Hey benj,

Thanks for the great feedback for Lesson 1. Even getting started with the 250 box challenge, I can see where lines get a bit wobbly or inked up, especially in hatching toward the end of the ghosted lines.

Also especially your reminder to stay focused on each line ahead, one at a time, is something I’ll definitely work with.

Thanks again.

Regards,
