Hello ThatOneMushroomGuy,

Thank you for your reply.

Hello ThatOneMushroomGuy,

Thank you very much for the detailed critique.

I have a few follow-up questions.

Arrows:

Can you please show me one or two examples of different perspective arrows (from what I draw)?

Leaves and Branches

I do more of these in my warm-ups to practice and improve my skills with your suggestions.

Plant Construction

I probably misunderstood from the demo that I need to try to construct the mushrooms without a minor axis, I will add it to my warm-ups to continue practicing cylinders with a minor axis.

Texture drawing (like we should in drawabox course) is still very difficult for me to do (thanks to lesson 2, I am a lot better with that and have a better understanding of textures), I will revisit the texture lesson as you suggested to me (with the links that you shared here) to improve my texture skill more.

In meanwhile I will start lesson 4, thank you very much.

Best regards,

Albert

Thank you very much, it helps a lot.

I will keep it in mind and the other critiques when I do my warm-ups.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I think I understood this explanation better.

But I go over my arrows, and unfortunately I can't find those mistakes.

If it's ok, could you please draw up an example, it will be very helpful for me to understand it better.

Thank you,

Albert

Hello,

Thank you very much for that detailed critique.

If it is ok, I would like to ask a question about the arrows section to understand it better.

What does it mean that my arrows bulge?

Could you explain it again in other words, please?

I try my best to improve when I need to by applying your suggestions

Kind regards,

Albert

Thank you for the quick reply.

I thought that if I rotate the boxes (or at least try to), it is alone will affect the rates of foreshortening, and that was my mistake.

I didn't realize that the fact, that when I am choosing about the same distance for my vanishing point makes it looks the same.

Thank you, now it is more clear to me.

Hello,

Thank you for the critiques, I will keep practicing previous exercises to improve my skills more.

A question about this note:

"You tend to stick to similar rates of foreshortening as you move through the challenge, be sure to experiment more so you don't create holes in your skill set."

I tried to rotate the boxes but as you can see it still looks similar, can you give me a suggestion on how to change the rates of foreshortening, so I will be able to experiment with more different rates of foreshortening?

Kind regards,

Albert

Hello Rob,

Thank you for your reply I really appreciate it.

I will try to be more aware of the viewpoints when I am rotating boxes.

I thought that lesson 0 talking about all the tools we need for all the lessons.

Thank you again for the detailed critique and the additional information.

Kind regards,

Albert

Hello Rob,

Thank you for the critique :)

I wrote some notes to myself out of your critique.

I still have a question about the rotated box exercise.

Would you please elaborate on the issue that I have with the rotation itself? Did I fail to rotate the boxes because they converge to the same viewpoint? (I tried to avoid it) Or is it because the boxes not even on all the sides? Or is it something else?

And a question about the pens.

You wrote that from lesson 6, I will need to use a ballpoint pen, but I am a little confuse because, in lesson 0, it says that I can use a ballpoint pen just for lesson 1, but from lesson 2 I have to use fineliners. (I asked about those pens because I just wasn't sure if it the correct fineliners, because it says felt tip)

Thanks,

Albert

Hi,

Thank you for your answer :)

Just noticed that I got an answer, sorry for the delayed response.
