Thank you so much for such a comprehensive critique! I will keep your advice in mind while continueing my drawabox journey.

I think the best ones are these (just keep in mind to prioritize smooth lines over accuracy):

• Ellipses in planes - you get to practice straight lines and ellipses, though lines are short

• Ghosting long lines

• Ghosting curves (place 3 points randomly, then try connecting them with a smooth curve in single motion)

Hello,

here's the critique:

• Arrows: edges look a bit sketchy, make sure you use ghosting & confident lines when adding extra lineweight

• Contour ellipses: you prioritize hitting edges instead of confident lines - getting confident ellipse in is more important (as accuracy will improve with practice)

• Contour curves: mostly OK, just ends of some of them are sketchy

• Textures: OK

• Dissections: OK

• Intersection: OK

• Organic Intersection: mostly OK, though contours once again do not look confident

I think you can move on to next lesson, though in your warm ups do keep in minds to focus on line confidence

Good luck in your art journey!

Hello, sure more critiques are always welcome :)

I do plan on continuing the course just taking a break from drawabox for a while (250 boxes and textures were quite tiring)

Hello,

good job completing Lesson 2, all exercises look great though not much to say, the only mistake I see is in shading on intersections - when you shade round forms like sphere and cylinder with hatching lines that kinda flattens the form (i.e. spheres look cut off) - instead try hatching like exercise suggests.

Good luck in your art journey!

Hello,

good job completing Lesson 2! Actually all exercises look well done so not much to say for critique, the only tip I can give is for arrows to add a bit of line weight on intersections (not only arrow sides as you did but also tapering line weight on arrow edge) - this would help them feel more 3D.

Good luck in your art journey!

Hello,

overall you did well, though you seem to have lost line confidence on arrows and contour ellipses exercises, so I suggest focusing on that more in your future warmups.

Good luck in your art journey!

Thanks for taking the time to review, I appreciate it.

Hello,

Not much to say, great work overall.

The only thing I can nitpick is that in dissections all textures are drawn explictly, you also need to practice wrapping around implict textures (graduation from white to detail) - implict textures are great for controlling viewers eye by contrast + you draw less so you can finish pieces faster.

Good luck in your art journey!

Hello,

here's critique:

• Arrows - some of them are too flat or with wrongly shaded sides, but most look fine - in future you can try to add line weight first then its easier to see arrow in 3d space and know which sides to shade

• Contour ellipsed - OK

• Contour curves - OK - though try not to redo failed lines and work with what you got

• Texture analysis - OK

• Dissections - most of them are explict (drawing everytinhg) try making some implict ones too (draw gradiation of dark to light), some of them do not break the form where they could (remember good silloutte is very important)

• Intersections - OK for now (main goal at lesson 2 is to draw similarly sized forms as if they belong to the same space, most intersections themselves are bad, but it's not expecting to do them well at this stage, so no worries)

• Organic intersections - I see you got the concept, though you seem to have forgotten shadows for most of these?

Overall I think you did well and can move on to the next lesson

Good luck in your art journey!
