Awesome! Good luck on the 250 box challenge. In case you don't already know, in the drawabox discord there is a channel called critique-exchange. I would go there, look at the pinned messages and get ready to submit the 250 box challenge. I only say this because I submitted my 250 box challenge here on the website and it still hasnt gotten critiqued. This way, you will be on a list to get your critique. Here is the link to the discord if you dont already have it - https://discord.gg/drawabox

I think people need to agree with me if you want the next level. If that's what you mean... Other than that you are good to submit when you get it done. One thing I would consider though is getting on the discord server and submitting the box challenge through critique-exchange channel. I only say this cause I submitted mine through the website and it still hasn't gotten critiqued. You can see the instructions under pinned messages. Here is the link if you haven't already joined - https://discord.com/invite/drawabox.

Hello and welcome to Drawabox. Congratulations on completing lesson 1!

Lines:

• Superimposed lines look good, for the most part. On some, it seems like you aren't starting at the same starting point as the other lines.

• Ghosted lines are decent, but there is some wobbliness. Be sure to remember that you are looking for smoothness not accuracy.

• Ghosted planes are solid. Even if you need to ghost through your line a dozen times, be sure to do it to get that practice in.

Ellipses:

• For tables of ellipses, you need to make sure you are drawing through the ellipses 2-3 times.

• Same thing with the ellipses in planes. You also completely missed the mark on some but then on others you did really well, so be sure to take the time to practice ghosting these and drawing through them as well.

• Funnels look good but you need to draw through these 2-3 times as well.

Boxes:

• For rotated boxes, it seems like you forgot to do the shading for the sides of the boxes.

• Organic perspective, you could use some more variety on the angles of the boxes.

Great work! Submit the request revisions and I'll check you off to move on to the 250 box challenge.

Hello and welcome to Drawabox. Congratulations on completing lesson 1!

Lines:

• Superimposed lines look good, just be sure that the starting point is the same for all of your lines.

• There is some wobbliness, I can see it in ghosted planes. You also seem to be going past the second dot that you draw. Not a huge problem but just try to lift your pen/fineliner off of the page as soon as you hit the second dot. Also remember that you are looking for smoothness not accuracy.

• Ghosted planes are pretty solid.

Ellipses:

• Tables of ellipses are good, I like the variety of the ellipses, but remember that you need to draw threw them 2-3 times.

• Ellipses in planes are good as well. they are confident and smooth, for the most part.

• Funnels are hard but it seems like you have gotten a good grasp on them.

Boxes:

• For the rotated boxes, be sure that you can see less of the face as they go around. Can't be too harsh on these though.

Overall, great job. I think you are clear to move onto the 250 box challenge. Good luck!a

You're welcome! I have reviewed the page of funnels. You are good to move on to the 250 box challenge if you haven't already.

Hello MedlingArtist, I would like to start off by saying congratulations on completing lesson 1.

Lines:

• Your superimposed lines look good, especially the second page. This exercise is all about letting your hand be loose, and it seems like you got the hang of it by the second page.

• Your ghosted lines and ghosted planes have some wobbliness. Remember, you want smoothness not accuracy.

Ellipses:

• Your ellipses in planes exercises looks good , except for the fact that you maybe didn't draw through your ellipses.

• For your tables of ellipses, be sure to make the ellipses fill the space and not go outside of the edge of the table. They should be touching each other and/or the edge(s) of the table.

• Keep in mind that for your funnels, the ellipses should be getting narower and smaller as they go towards the middle.

Boxes:

• Your rotated boxes should be getting a bit more narrower as they get farther away, so to speak.

• Perhaps a bit more variety on the angles of the boxes for organic perspective.

Overall, great job! Complete the homework I have given you so you can move onto the 250 boxes.

Hello Embient, firstly I'd like to start off by saying congratulations on completing lesson 1.

Lines:

• Your lines are pretty solid, one thing to note would be that they are a bit hard to see cause it is in pencil (specifically in the ghosted lines and ghosted planes exercises).

• There is some wobbliness so do keep in mind that you are looking for smoothness not accuracy

Ellipses:

• For the table of ellipses exercise, remember that the ellipses should be filling up the space they are in, but not go out of the table. In other words, they should be touching each other and/or the edges of the table.

• For your ellipses in planes, it seems like you maybe didn't go over your ellipses 2-3 times like uncomfortable said in his video.

• For funnels, the ellipses should turn into ovals at the middle cause they are getting narrower. These are hard for everyone though, honestly.

Boxes:

• In rough perspective, your boxes are very hard to see, luckily the red lines are there to help.

• Your rotated boxes look really good.

• Organic perspective, make sure to keep in mind that as the boxes get farther away, they get smaller.

Really great work overall. Hopefully in the future you can do work in fine liner, because for some exercises, it was just a bit hard to see.

I actually am a part of the server but somehow never noticed that channel?? Anyhow, I already found it, thanks for sending me there!

Hello and welcome to Drawabox. First of all, congratulations on completing lesson 1! I'll be critiquing your work today.

1: Lines

• Your lines are smooth overall, there is a bit of wobbliness but nothing serious

• Remember that you are looking for smoothness, and not accuracy

2: Ellipses

• Your ellipses look pretty good, although there is some wobbliness in your tables of ellipses exercise, but that is reasonable. Make sure to keep in mind that the ellipses should be filling in the space, meaning they should be touching, and for the ones at the edge they should be touching the edge(s) of the table

• Your ellipses in planes are good, though there is a bit of wobbliness in your ellipses but its not earth shattering

• Funnels are hard, no one can deny that. For this exercise what I would keep in mind is when your ellipses are going on the middle line not only are they getting smaller but they are also getting narrower the closer they are getting to the middle the more it turns into an oval. or at least that is how I looked at it.

3: Boxes

I do not really have anything to say for your boxes, other than they are really good, and you seem to have a fair grasp on the concept of perspective.

Really good job on lesson 1. I'll give you work that I think you should focus on and just reply to me with it so I can approve you to move onto the 250 box challenge.

Hi welcome to drawabox, I will be critiquing your work today. I'd like to start off by saying great job on completing lesson 1!

1: Lines

• Your lines look good, with the exception of some wobbliness on ghosted lines and ghosted planes

• Nothing crazy but remember you are focusing on confident not accurate lines

2: Ellipses

• Your table of ellipses exercise, some ellipses are not touching each other and I know that was a requirement.

• In your ellipses in planes exercise, your line quality has suffered a bit, it is important to use the information that you got from the lines section and apply it to the other exercises

• Your funnels look awesome! There is some overlap between the curved line and some ellipses but not earth shattering.

3: Boxes

• Your rotated boxes look decent, those are hard to get right but it seems like you knew what you were doing.

• Rough perspective, good thing you did not make the same mistake I did where I made the lines go all the way back, great work.

Overall, really good work. You understood what to do for all the assignments and have a really good grasp on the concept of perspective. I will give you some work to do and then you can be on your way to the 250 box challenge.
