CabbageHeads

Hello! Today I'll be critiquing your submission. But first things first, congratulations on completing the challenge. Looking in the submission, you did great. Mark-making was good overall and the Line-weight apllied was nice, convergence was decent, and I'm facing no issues with Line extensions. The submission was reasonable, however, here are some pointers that I have to point out:

Draw Bigger:

• The boxes in the submission were 8 boxes per page, you just have to stick with 5-6 boxes, so that you can draw your boxes in a reasonable size. Moreover, it will allow you to fully engage your arm.

Inner Corner:

• This is commonly the problem within the Challenge that may affect the convergence of the box, whether it may diverge (Box no. 109, 118, 128 )or converge sharply (Box no. 5, 22, 57) and make the box even converge in pairs: https://imgur.com/KSHwTwo. (Box 5, 7, 65).

• To improve the inner corner, you should change the order of drawing the box: https://imgur.com/a/DHlA3Jh. And think about the relationship of the lines in a set, and think about them converging as a set: https://i.imgur.com/8PqQLE0.png.

Again, I congratulate you on completing such tedious challenge. Implement the Challenge to your warm-ups, and onward to Lesson 2.

Hello! Today I'll be critiquing your submission for today! Overall you did a great job within the Challenge. Line work was fantastic, smooth, straight and confident. The line weight applied to the boxes were nice, and the convergence were decent. However, viewing the work submitted, I have notice some mistakes that I have to address.

Inner Corner:

• The inner corner is commonly the problem in the Challenge, that may affect the convergence of the Box. To improve the inner corner of the box, you should change change the order of drawing the Box: https://imgur.com/a/DHlA3Jh.

• In the submission as well, I encountered boxes converging in pairs like box 63, an example of a box converging in pairs: https://imgur.com/KSHwTwo. To improve on this, you should think about the relationships of the lines, instead of thinking it in pairs, you should think about the lines in the set: https://i.imgur.com/8PqQLE0.png.

• Be on the look out for extending lines that are converging too sharply, Box 161, and diverging, Box 201.

I also notice boxes with no line extensions, you should apply it, so that you can check the boxes convergence: https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/1/convergences, and identify the mistakes.

Congratulations on Completing the 250 Box Challenge! Implement the 250 Box Challenge to your warm-ups.

No problem! If you have any questions regarding the Challenge, I'll answer it in the best of my ability. Overall your boxes were alright, I could mark this lesson complete, because reviewing your work again, you just need warm-ups, and amending this small mistakes. With that in mind, you could still give me the revision, but I'll have to mark this Lesson as complete. I apologize in advance!

Hello! Today I'll be critiquing your submission for today. Congratulations on completing the challenge. however there are problems that I have to mention, I'll make this critique brief as possible so you can give me your revision.

Convergence:

• A box in 3 point perspective will always have their line converge. Whether they are shallow or dramatic foreshortening, the edges will always converge, not diverge or be parallel. Most of your boxes are in 0 point perspective https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/8/0pp, which is non-existent, an example would be box number: 2, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 19. The extension of the lines are parallel and not converging.

• Same as the edges remain parallel, there are mistakes such as lines diverging. An example would be box number: 170, 181, 183, and 184. https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/1/convergences. If you are having trouble with convergence and the lines still diverge, please rely on this tutorial: https://imgur.com/3zoQA65

• There's also a mistake with boxes and its edges converge in pairs: https://imgur.com/KSHwTwo, take box number: 79 and 85 for example. This is usually an issue within the inner corner of the box. The inner corner of the box is commonly a problem in the challenge. To improve the inner corner of the box, you should change the order of drawing the box, by drawing the inner corner first: https://imgur.com/a/DHlA3Jh.

• You have to carefully plot out the corners, or plot out as many corners of the box, what you think it is suitable, so that they could maintain this relation: https://i.imgur.com/8PqQLE0.png, and connect the lines when you feel like they are converging pretty well. They should not be converging in pairs, but converging in sets.

• If you're still having problems with convergence, please read this image: https://i.imgur.com/dMfC42v.png.

Mark-making:

• How matter not accurate the line of the box is, you should leave it as it be, and do not repeat it. Executing a line to its plotted dot should only be done once. You should plot the dot of the line from start to finish, applying the ghosting method, and executing the line with confidence over accuracy. I see less of this mistake later in the submission. Hatching lines were decent.

• Line weight is included in this section, apply Ghosting Method here to ensure smooth and straight line. Similarly to the Superimposed Lines homework, instead of drawing the line eight times, drawing it one time is enough, it's important to keep it subtle, it's fine if it comes out not accurate, leave it be.

Hopefully this critique could be some help with the revision that I have to request. I'm sorry that I can't move you to Lesson 2 yet, but I look forward to your submission that you're going to have to reply. I request 1 page of Shallow foreshortening and 1 page of Dramatic foreshortening, you could read this link regarding both of the foreshortening: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/10/foreshortening. Please comply!

Thank you for taking the time to critique the submission. It is much appreciated.

Hello! Today I'll be critiquing your work for today.

I'll be dividing your work into three sections: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes:

Lines:

Starting with your Superimposed Lines, they are looking good. They aren't that much wobbly. However, they tended to arch, especially on the lengthy lines, although, that is to be expected early in the lesson. I recommend drawing curve lines.

Next is the Ghosted Lines, great job. You've drawn the lines in a variety of sizes. Your lines looks confident, straight, and consistent. The lines mostly look accurate, and they were also long rather than short.

Lastly Ghosted Planes, great job. Line confidence is still the same, as well as its straightness and smoothness. You are missing some lines in page one, column one, row three. In the same page, column two, row one, and row two, when the trajectory of the line completely misses the endpoint, you should allow it to happen.

Because of the straight, smooth, and consistent lines, you should now strive for Accuracy. Great Job.

Ellipses:

Table of Ellipses, good job. Inside the table, the Ellipses have a variety of degrees, orientation, how snug they are, and how well bounded it is. You've drawn your Ellipses three times, however, two is preferable.

Ellipses in Planes, good job. The Ellipses were consistent. However, the Ellipses look deformed and wobbly. You want your Ellipse to be smooth, tight, and confident, that is your first priority. Getting the Ellipse to touch the four sides of the plane is the second priority. Apply the Ghosting Method here, and rely on your muscle memory, and execute the mark without thinking.

Lastly Funnels, great job. The Ellipse aligns with the minor axis and not to loose.

Boxes:

Plotted Perspective. Nothing much to mention other than the back box being slanted. It should be perpendicular to the horizon. Other than that good job.

Rough Perspective. good job. Some of your line estimations were a bit off, however, you could improve by tackling The Box Challenge. As for the lines of the boxes, you don't need to apply line weight since the boxes don't overlap with anything, and if I haven't mention before, you should not repeat your lines. They can only be drawn once, you should forget about it and move on.

Rotated Boxes, great job. You seem to understand the rotation of the boxes. The back planes of the boxes rotate properly. However, you are missing some boxes to the edges. Line also have improved, when you miss the endpoint, just allow it to miss, since the line could only be drawn once, and you have been given the time to properly execute it.

Lastly Organic Perspective, great job. You seem to understand the depth of the scene, the rotation of the boxes in 3d space, and how it progressively becomes bigger. Line weight will also really help. You will understand more in The 250 Box Challenge.

Congratulations on Completing Lesson 1!

Hello! Today I'll be critiquing your work for today.

I'll be dividing it into three sections: Lines, Ellipses, Boxes.

Lines:

Starting with your Superimposed Lines, good job. You've drawn your lines in a variety of sizes and avoiding the mistake of fraying on both ends. Although, there's a low abundance of curve lines, I really recommend drawing those. As for your lines, the lengthy lines have more wobbles than the shorter ones, that's to be expected, since the shorter lines are easy to draw rather than longer ones. To avoid the mistake of wobbling, I want you to execute the lines with confidence. You also want to adjust the speed of your arm when it's now beginning to wobble.

Next is the Ghosted Lines, good job. You've filled the page with lines, and they vary from different sizes and angles. However, the wobble of the lines is very evident. For this, I want you to prioritize Confidence over Accuracy, with no vestige of Hesitation. Ensure straight, consistent, and smooth lines. Your second aim is Accuracy.

Lastly Ghosted Planes, good job. You've taken a big step of improving some of your lines. Some points still stand such as lines wobbling, just try to keep Confidence in the back of your head. I also have to mention that you don't have to correct the trajectory of the line approaching the endpoint, just allow it to miss.

Ellipses:

Table of Ellipses, great job. The Ellipse are looking good on how well bounded they are. The variety of sizes, orientation and degrees of the Ellipse, and how they occupy each space inside the table. The Ellipse were consistent and isn't that wobbly. Although, it's preferable to draw your Ellipse through just two times.

Ellipses in Planes, good job. Some of your Ellipses inside the planes were accurate. However, the point still stands that you should draw them just two or three times, I can't really much discern if the Ellipse is wobbly or smooth because of it. The Ellipse aren't much that tight because you've drawn through them a lot. Don't worry if the Ellipse isn't that much accurate, just allow it to miss. Try relying on your muscle memory here, and make the mark without thinking.

Lastly Funnels, great job. The Ellipses align with the minor axis inside the Funnels. It isn't that much too loose, however, some points still stands like drawing through your Ellipse many times.

Boxes:

Plotted Perspective. There is not much to say other than a great job.

Rough Perspective, good job. Some lines of the boxes were a bit wobbly, and please do not repeat drawing your lines as they can only be drawn once. Your perspective estimation was a bit off, but they can be improved with the 250 Box Challenge. I also notice that you are missing a oage of the exercise.

Rotated Boxes, great job. You seem to understand the rotation of the boxes. Gaps were narrow, and the lines have improved. The boxes running along the horizontal and vertical of the center box, the back planes look seemingly overextended. Other than great job, you will understand more of its rotation in the Box Challenge.

Organic Perspective. First page should be the boxes look progressively bigger in order to convey the depth of the scene. The second, one and three frame is the one you should be aiming for. Other than that good job.

Before I mark this lesson as complete, I must request the following:

1 page of Rough Perspective

1 page of Organic Perspective

Hello! Today I'll be critiquing your work.

I will be dividing your work into three different sections: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes.

Lines:

Starting with your Superimposed Lines, good job. The Lines were drawn in a variety of sizes. There were also some curve lines as well. You also avoided the mistake of fraying on both ends of the line, and positioned your pen greatly at the start. However, the lines were a bit wobbly and some lines tended to arch, mostly on the lengthy lines. Wobbliness is expected early in the lesson.

• Approach this exercise with confidence, with no hesitation, and minimize the wobbling. For lines tending to arch, use more of your shoulder pivot, it can also be fixed by arching to the opposite direction.

Next is the Ghosted Lines, great job. Your lines were fairly smooth and consistent, also the lines were mostly long. However, the wobbles are slightly noticeable. Prioritize Confidence over Accuracy, and rotate the page for a more comfortable angle to draw.

• Wobbly lines can also be caused by slowly drawing the mark. If you are drawing slow, increase the speed. The fast motion will result into the line doesn't have a chance of shaking.

Lastly, the Ghosted Planes, great job. Your lines still carry the points as in the Ghosted Lines, however, you've readjusted and some of your lines were straight, consistent and smooth, not accurate, but line confidence has improved. You should strive for that rather than be fixated on just accuracy, that is your second on what you should aim.

Ellipses:

Table of Ellipses, great job. Your Ellipses were drawn in a variety of sizes, orientations, and degrees. Your Ellipses are also bounded together, and consistent. However, your Ellipses are not that smooth and not tight, although that is to be expected. Some of your Ellipses are not drawn through two or three times.

Ellipses in Planes. Some of your Ellipses look deformed and wobbly. Don't try too hard to make your Ellipse touch the four sides of the plane, instead make your Ellipse confident and smooth. Use the Ghosting Method here and try relying on your muscle memory and make the mark without even thinking. Still the Ellipse was decent.

Lastly the Funnels. You did a great job aligning the minor axis to the Ellipses, and the Ellipses were. Some points still carry to your Ellipses in the previous exercises, such as the wobbly the Ellipse being wobbly. However, this can be improved with practice.

Boxes:

Plotted Perspective, there is not much mention other than a great job.

Rough Perspective. Your depth line extensions goes beyond the horizon line. Other than that good job, the lines have improved. I also notice that on the first page, first frame, to the right of the vp, the back plane of the box was off.

Rotated Boxes, great job. The boxes rotate properly, the boxes were snug, the gaps were narrow, and the lines have improved. Just some shaky line confidence here and there, I also noticed that in the right section, the back planes of the box doesn't have same rotation to the left. Other than that, your attempt in this exercise was pretty solid.

Lastly Organic Perspective, good job. I understand the perspective of the box and how it progressively gets bigger. However, some boxes did not align with the line in the first page. There is not much to say since you will be tackling The 250 Box Challenge.

Congratulations on completing Lesson 1!

Hello! Today I'll be critiquing your work for today.

I'll be dividing your work in to three sections: Lines, Ellipses, and Boxes.

Lines:

Starting with your Superimposed Lines, great work. You avoided the mistakes, of fraying on both sides and wibbling. You executed your lines confidently, and the lines are lengthy, varies in different sizes, and you've filled the page with them. However, some of your lines on the first and second page tended to arch, although minimum. An advice that I will give you is to use your shoulder pivot, and if your lines arch to the right, you make a concious effort to arch to the left, you will get it eventually.

Next are the Ghosted Lines, great work. The lines were smooth, straight, and consistent. You've amended the mistake of lines arching, and it isn't wobbly. The lines were pretty much accurate.

Lastly, the Ghosted Planes. The same points were carried, the lines were looking good. You also varied the planes in a variety of sizes. However, you've submitted three of this exercise. Just submit two and follow the instructions on how much is required. Not much to mention other than that. Great work.

Ellipses:

Table of Ellipses. Your Table of Ellipses are coming along well. You've drawn through your Ellipses, and is focused on a consistent, smooth Ellipse shape. Your Ellipses are also bounded together, with minimum overlapping, and varies in different sizes, orientations, and degrees. Great job. However, some of your Ellipses were not drawn through two or three times, other than that, good job.

Next are the Ellipses in Planes, great job. Your Ellipses were larger as opposed to making them small, that is better. Minimum deformations, consistent and smooth Ellipse. However, some Ellipses weren't drawn through.

Lastly Funnels, good job. The Ellipses align with the minor axis, the Ellipses inside the funnels aren't too loose or have poor spacing, but snug. Over here, your Ellipses have Improved, consistent and tight. However, the Ellipses at the edge of the funnels fell short, that is expected. The Ellipses also have some slightly change on its degree. Great work overall.

Boxes:

Plotted Perspective, was great, no mistakes were made, and nothing much to mention.

Next is the Rough Perspective, great job. The lines of the boxes aren't that wobbly. Your perspective estimations were a bit off, although that can be improved with the 250 Box Challenge, additionally, with warm ups. Line extensions were also correct, and there's not much to mention.

Next is the Rotated Boxes, great job. The gaps were narrow, and the line work have also improved and how accurate it is. It is also worth to mention not to repeat lines, just forget about it and move on, as you can do it only once. The boxes were tight and snugly together. As for the front and back squares of the boxes, they rotate properly. Your box construction are solid, and I can see you developing a good sense for how box lines converge to a vps.

Lastly Organic Perspective, great job. You've filled the frame with boxes, and I got a good sense of the boxes rotation, perspective, and scale in 3d space. Line weight will also help. You could Improve by proceeding to The 250 Box Challenge.

Overall, your submission was Solid, and I can see you in the right direction of the lesson and its concepts.

Congratulations on Completing Lesson 1!

Hello! Today I'll be critiquing your work for today.

I'll be dividing it into three sections: Lines, Ellipses, Boxes.

Lines:

Your Superimposed Lines are looking good, smooth and consistent. They are drawn with confidence, and you avoided the mistakes, such as, fraying on both ends, and wobbling. Although, some lines tended to arch on the lengthy ones and the curved lines, that is to be expected, it can be mended with warm ups.

Next are the Ghosted Lines, good job. Lines were drawn with confindence, and they were smooth and consistent. However some lines tended to wobble. Although no arching, you must still remember, Confidence over Accuracy.

Lastly the Ghosted Planes. I'll be using your Ellipses in Planes for this. Good job, you've plotted your lines, and drew the planes in a variety of sizes, and filled the page with them. Lines were confident, smooth, and consistent, and it improved.

Ellipses:

Table of Ellipses. First things first, you've drawn your Ellipses in a variety of sizes, angle, and degrees, some Ellipse are within the bounds, tight and snug together, some Ellipses also are drawn through two or three times, and even not that uneven. However, most of the Ellipses are not that smooth and wobbly, and the Ellipse itself isn't tight. Refer to this image: https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/a76a8906.jpg. Some Ellipse are also not drawn through two or three times. Apply the Ghosting method here.

Next up is the Ellipses in Planes. Same as the Table of Ellipse, The Ellipse isn't smooth, some Ellipses are deformed and wobbly. Apply the Ghosting Method here, prioritize Confidence over Accuracy first. Your second priority is to make the Ellipse touch the four sides of the plane. Your Ellipse should be smooth and confident first. Good work anyway, there aren't any floating Ellipse.

Lastly Funnels. Good work, the Ellipse are aligned to the minor axis, and the Ellipse doesn't cover much of the funnel. However, at the edge of the funnels, the Ellipse fell short, that is alright and expected. Some of the Ellipses in the funnel were tight and snugly, and some of the Ellipses in some funnels were Loose. The sizes of the Ellipses did change, going further away from the center, however, the degrees didn't change much. I recommend to draw your Ellipse near the center narrow, and if it goes further away, it gets wider. Imagine that the center is an Ellipse with a degree of zero.

Overall, your Ellipse are decent and there's room for improvement. Prioritize the smoothness and confidence over accuracy, and add this through your warm ups.

Boxes:

Plotted Perspective, Good job, There are no mistakes made, such as the back corner, and distortions. Nothing much to mention.

Next are the Rough Perspective. Good work, the lines of the boxes have improved. Confident, straight, and smooth. It is also worth mentioning (If I haven't yet) to not repeat lines, just move on and forget about it. Although, when extending your lines in this exercise, it musn't cross the horizon. The line extension is almost indiscernible. And you are also missing one page of this exercise.

Moving on towards the Rotated Boxes. Great job, the boxes were tight and snugly with another. The gaps were also narrow, and the line work also have improved. For the front box and the back boxes, they struggle to have rotation, that is to be expected however. You did a solid work either way.

Lastly, Organic Perspective. Fantastic work, the boxes rotate freely in 3d space, its perspective, and I notice that you've drawn through the boxes. The lines forming the box have also improved.

Congratulations on Completing Lesson 1! You have more room for improvement.

Edit: I apologize that this is a day late, but you have to revise your Table of Ellipse as well.
