    hey, sorry just read this, yeah its okay, youre gonna do it anyway in the 250 boxes, but its nice also to try that first before jumping in but its up to you too.

    Overall it looks really good

    Lines; All of your lines looks really good, you drew confidently with your shoulder, theres no fraying at the start at Superimposed Lines, Ghosted lines looks smooth, and you keep that quality till the end. Though I notice some lines correction so you should keep that in mind to not correct lines.

    Ellipses: Your ellipses looks wobbly at first but then you progress as you went to the funnel exercises, really nice, and also you drew through the ellipses twice.

    Boxes: By looking at your rotated boxes, I can tell that you understand perspective, but i dont know why you didnt draw through the form though at your organic boxes, but I mean thats not a big deal really about considering your rotated boxes quality.

    I think youre ready for the 250 boxes

    Thats good to hear then that you draw from your shoulder, and no, I didnt say that you should do it until perfect, because you have to move on too, but atleast redo it with good form (at least as required by drawabox)

    I think you're rushing through this exercises, I think you should go back to the first video about drawing from shoulder because your lines are really wobbly, yes I can see some line progression but I think you still draw from your wrist a lot. I dont know if you are ready for the 250 boxes, maybe you are but I think you should redo some of the exercises like Ghosted Lines, Organic boxes (didnt draw through the form), and table of ellipses (primarily because you draw from your wrist based on what I see from your wobbly lines)

    Next Steps:

    Redo Ghosted Lines, Table of Ellipses, Organic Boxes (1x) with good confident lines

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    (I copy this part from my previous feedback because its the same problem). This is not a big problem really, but next time I think you should submit your homework in order, especially the 250 boxes, it would be really hard to see your progress if u dont sort it.

    Next time you should move the camera closer also, its really hard to see the lines with minimum contrast and small image

    Lines: I can see your progress with lines, at first your lines were curvy and then it got straighter as you go forward to next exercises, but its nice I can see you always drew with your shoulder from the first exercise. I like your curvature lines too. I can see some lines correction which is not good if your doing drawabox because they prioritize confidence, so keep that in mind.

    Ellipses: Ellipses looks nice, you draw through them twice, I can see some squiggly hand movement there but i think its a matter of practice, so you should do it more often i guess and remember to draw from the shoulder to get rid of that. Also i dont know why you only draw 1 ellipse in one of them funnel in the Funnel exercise.

    Boxes: I know perspective is pretty hard to grasp at first, I suggest you to rewatch the perspective video again and redo the last organic perspective exercise because you didnt draw through the form which is the most important thing, because sure you draw things in 2D space, but you have to understand it 3 dimensionally and thats really the point of this exercise.

    Next step: Redo the organic boxes with the backside of the boxes and after that you can go to 250 boxes

    Yeah its not something to worry about, I'm pretty sure everyone got overwhelmed by the rotating boxes, but the result looks nice.

    This is not a big problem really, but next time I think you should submit your homework in order, especially the 250 boxes, it would be really hard to see your progress if u dont sort it. Anyway I'm gonna review your homework with Elodin's template.

    Lines: Overall about lines, its nice, you didnt rush it, you dont have much fraying at the start point for example at the Superimposed Lines, Ghosted Lines too looks good too but I think you theres too much empty space, but its nothing to worry about, I'm pretty sure you already incorporate drawing lines to your warmup routine, if not you should do it or maybe construct 1 2 boxes.

    Ellipses: Ellipses looks pretty good although i noticed in some ellipses that you didnt draw the ellipse 2 or 3 times and it seems that in the Ellipses in Planes you seem to prioritize fitting the ellipses into the planes instead of making a good smooth ellipses so thats 1 thing you should keep in mind.

    Boxes: Nothing to critique here really, I like your boxes, you seem to understand the principle of perspective pretty well, sure you miss a lot of the vanishing points but that you will practice in 250 boxes.

    Next Steps:

    Do 250 boxes

    Yes I will, thanks

    Hey, thanks for the feedback, yeah I always have that problem for the boxes that converge too fast or diverge, its either I underestimate the angle or overestimate it, maybe i just need more practice. For the correcting lines, yeah i always have that urge to correct wrong lines because if i dont correct it then it will not converge or converge too fast.

    For the reminders, yes i will incorporate constructing box to my warmup and yeah I never stress over DAB that much because I do 3d as a main focus, I do this as a side project, i think this took me probably couple months to finished it, but yeah thanks for the feedback

    I will use the critique template by Elodin because this is my first critique. First impression: really nice

    Lines: your superimposed lines looks good, theres some fraying at the start but its only like couple, i can notice some wiggly lines from the start till your organic boxes, so you should probably keep that in mind for your 250 boxes, also remember to not repeat lines when you messed up your first line, I did this alot also in my rotated boxes because i didnt know you're not supposed to repeat lines. Other than that it looks great.

    Ellipse: Your ellipse looks good but you didnt draw a lot of the ellipses twice which is not good if your following drawabox rules. Even though you've been drawing for years, i think you still can get a lot of benefit from practicing ellipse this way.

    Boxes: Goddamn i love your rotated boxes, i dont have any feedback really, probably just the wiggly lines, and you draw through the boxes too in organic perspective, nice

    Next Steps:

    Of course you are ready for the 250 boxes

    Hey, I really appreciate your feedback, yeah I didnt read the grinding part, I wish I did though because I think I did more than once for every exercises just to get the hang of it first or when it looked ugly, but now I know, I will do just one and move on, then come back if I need to work on what I'm bad at. Thanks, i will move on to the 250 box now

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
