    This is pretty good!

    Some observations

    1) Texture Analysis

    For me, it is not clear the transition in contrast. I see too much contrast in the end

    2) Dissections

    I think you should make textures go a little more out the silhouette

    In my opinion you're ready to go to the next lesson :D

    Hi, can you be more specific? What boxes are missing?

    Hi! Your comments and observations were incredibly valuable to me, and I am truly thankful for your time and input. I will upload the pages that i forgotten

    Hi, it is my first feedback. I hope that it helps :D

    Superimposed Lines:

    I think the lines need to be more precise, connecting one point to another.

    Ghosted Lines:

    The lines are pretty great in my opinion. My suggestion is to try longer lines.

    Ghosted Planes:

    Maybe you can vary the angle of the planes a little.

    Ellipses in Planes:

    The circles are too far outside the square, and the curve lines are separated from each other.

    Table of Ellipses:

    The lines are sometimes wobbly, and the lines forming the ellipses are too far apart from each other.

    Funnels:

    I think the ellipses are a little too far apart from each other.

    Plotted Perspective:

    I have nothing to comment on here.

    Rough Perspective:

    In the first exercise, we see some lines going in the opposite direction of the VP, but in others, we see that they tend to go in the same direction. I think using the ghost method to make the cube lines converge to the VP point helps a lot.

    Rotated Boxes:

    It's pretty good actually. Maybe the boxes could be a little more uniform in size.

    Organic Perspective:

    Sometimes the box lines go in different directions and don't converge to a point, making it difficult to see which boxes are in front and which are behind.

    Next Steps:

    In my opinion, its time to 250 boxes challenge.

Framed Ink

Framed Ink

I'd been drawing as a hobby for a solid 10 years at least before I finally had the concept of composition explained to me by a friend.

Unlike the spatial reasoning we delve into here, where it's all about understanding the relationships between things in three dimensions, composition is all about understanding what you're drawing as it exists in two dimensions. It's about the silhouettes that are used to represent objects, without concern for what those objects are. It's all just shapes, how those shapes balance against one another, and how their arrangement encourages the viewer's eye to follow a specific path. When it comes to illustration, composition is extremely important, and coming to understand it fundamentally changed how I approached my own work.

Marcos Mateu-Mestre's Framed Ink is among the best books out there on explaining composition, and how to think through the way in which you lay out your work.

Illustration is, at its core, storytelling, and understanding composition will arm you with the tools you'll need to tell stories that occur across a span of time, within the confines of a single frame.
