    Sorry for the late reply, i was focusing on my lesson and boxes. So from what you wrote i can totally say that you know how the one point perspective works.

    An advice i can give is to put points before doing the lines, because your horizontal lines are not parallel and the vertical ones are not perpendicular to the horizontal ones. This takes away the illusion of 3d and makes it look like you didn't understand the perspective.

    Also make sure you turn the paper to a position that feels good to do parallel lines, ghost the line you made already and then make the parallel one.

    Putting points helped me a lot in the 250 boxes, hope it can help you too. Don't give up and keep going! You will get acquainted with the perspective.

    I'm marking these as complete.

    Good luck!

    Hi there, i will be reviewing your submission.

    Lines: you did pretty well on these. I wanted to point out that i can see a tendency of your straight line to curve (i believe in only one direction). Just so you can be mindful of that.

    Ellipses: i feel the second page gets better so all is fine here too.

    Boxes: seeing the Rough Perspective, i'm not totally sure you understood the one point perspective. If that's the case i would say you return to that and redo that exercise. Sorry, i usually am of the opinion to not fossilize, but in this case it's completely off. Try to follow the direction of your lines. Besides the vertical ones, they all need to converge to the VP.

    Overall, good job!

    Next Steps:

    I suggest to redo the rough perspective exercise, at least one page.

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    Hi there, i will be reviewing your submission.

    i think you did pretty well in everything, there's no point in fossilizing in these exercises. You can incorporate them in your daily warm-up before you start drawing.

    For this reason i will be marking it as complete! good luck on the 250 boxes!

    Hi, i will be reviewing your submission.

    Seeing the accuracy on the lines and also on the ellipses exercises, it make me think that maybe you lost a bit of patience in doing the boxes exercises, which are less accurate and hurried. Don't know if it's worth it to redo them since you'll be drawing 250 of them. So i'll mark this lesson as complete.

    Next Steps:

    250 Boxes challenge with the advice to think them through without rushing. So you can understand the planes better and to make it become easier for to draw them correctly in a shorter amount of time as you go.

Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
