Quat

Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your exercises for lesson 2.

First of all The Thinking in 3d section of lesson 2: You did well in the organic arrows exercise , even though some of the arrows are constructed weirdly but you seem to have followed the instructions very well for the most part.

In the organic forms exercise a lot of the forms have there contours Flouting arbitrarily and I am not just talking about The Ellipses but also the curves.

Next the texture section of lesson 2: In the Texture analysis I can see a problem with the Density of the textures. I am referring to the fact that you transitioned from dark to light quite fast and you left too much empty space behind. I recommend that you start from the light side and gradually get darker and darker as it might be easier for you to control how dense you need your drawing to be.

As for the dissections: I can see that You drew a lot of your forms instead of drawing the shadow around them, and you are also not transitioning from dark to light in a lot of the textures in this exercise.

Lastly the construction section of lesson 2: You did a good job following the instructions for both exercises and I don't have much to say.

Well done I am going to mark your lesson as complete. Your next step is the 250 boxes challenge, don't forget about the 50:50 rule

Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your submission for th day .

and You did a good job with this submission, I seriously can't find any mistakes in your submission, good job

Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your lesson 3 today. I have to point out that all of your plants are textured Even though it is specified that half should be just confirming as stated Here. Not worth redoing any plants though I am merely pointing it out as it's something common across the next lessons .

There is nothing else to point out, you did an excellent job with the exercises that you did and I can't see any mistakes with your submission.

Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to critique your lesson 1 today.

First of all the line section of lesson one: you seem to have Followed The steps really well and although you have a lot of wobbly lines in the ghosted lines exercise, you have Improved it in the ghosted planes exercise.

Secondly Ellipses : once Again you followed the instructions really well and there is nothing to point out .

finally The boxes Section Of lesson 1: although you did good in the plotted perspective exercise your rough perspective exercise is full of Wobbly lines and Your organic perspective exercise has a lot of distortion and even some wobbly lines. You will have enough time to work on the problems with the organic perspective exercise in the 250 boxes challenge but I might have to make you redo the rough perspective exercise.

You did a great job with the exercises I gave you

Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your exercises for this lesson

First of all in the branches exercise : your drawing looks flat and I assume that is a result of the composition of the picture that you took, in other words you should have pictures of them one by one and uploaded them to imgur. There is also the problem of drawing the whole edge with one stroke for some branches that you drew, but seeing how you did better on the plants that you did I won't make you redo the exercise.

I also want to point out that your organic arrows exercise is not wrong but I would have preferred if you did more arrows since you had the space to do so.

Other than that I would have preferred if your plant drawings used more of the paper, and I mean that you drew your plants a bit smaller than necessary, which isn't particularly a mistake but it is better to make the drawing bigger when possible.

No need to be sorry, I actually completely forgot about this submission and I redid lesson 4 https://drawabox.com/community/submission/DA0RW1O in October of last year, I can't really tell if you want a revision or if you forgot to mark my submission as complete, I had put the link to the redone submission in the case of the former

Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your exercises for lesson 1

First of all the Superimposed lines exercise: on the second page a lot of your lines tend to be wobbly you are supposed to ghost your lines and apply them in one quick stroke, which you seem to have done correctly in the first page. I am not going to make you redo the exercise but it's worth remembering for when you do it as a warm up.

the ghosted lines exercise: some of your lines are wobbly and much like the Superimposed lines exercise it is not worth redoing but it's worth remembering.

the ghosted panels exercise was done correctly. Same goes for all the exercises until the rough perspective exercise (the exercises from Ex 3 to Ex 6 are done correctly and I don't have any critique to give for them)

As for the rough perspective exercise even though the steps are followed correctly but your lines are very wobbly and I will need to ask you to repeat the exercise.

As for the rotated boxes exercise although the page is a mess, it is expected from this exercise, you have also drawn the left hand side boxes in an incorrect way seeing how they seem to converge to the same vanishing point which means that I will probably have to ask you to do it again.

Lastly the organic perspective exercise this exercise is done well and doesn't need to be revised.

Hello there I call myself Quat and I will be critiquing your homework today

First of all Organic arrows exercise :

your arrows are well drawn and you seem to follow the steps correctly, although I should point out that some of your lines are wobbly and even though it isn't enough to redo the entire thing it is worth pointing out. Also you seem to shade the wrong parts of the arrow for a lot of arrows. However it isn't important for drawabox so I won't be talking about it a lot just remember that the side that you should shade is the side that doesn't get much light.

Secondly Organic forms with counter lines exercise :

You did a good job with this experience, and there is not much to talk about.

Thirdly texture :

For the texture analysis exercise you seem to have a problem when it comes to transitioning from dense to sparse in the third panels of all the textures, Your first texture, which I assume is crumbled paper, doesn't have gradual transitioning, basically it started very dense and then immediately went to medium density and and staying at the same density until near the end where it immediately became low density, I recommend that you try starting with the point with the least density and move to higher density areas. And the other textures seem to suffer the same problem but you also seem to add a lot of details to them, the inclusion of the small details isn't bad by itself but you have used them a little too much for the exercise.

For the dissections exercise your textures seem to be explicit rather than implicit making your textures a mess to look at and it seems that you drew the forms of a lot of your textures, such as the corn, the pineapple, the octopus tentacles, the scales,ect to fix this you should focus on drawing the shadow that your object leaves rather than the actual object as demonstrated here, if you find it difficult to understand how the cast shadow would be on a particular object don't hesitate to ask for help in the drawabox discord server. Also there is also the problem of not breaking the silhouette which makes your drawing feel flat.

Fourthly the form intersections exercise :

At first glance I noticed that you didn't do a page containing boxes only, which was stated in the homework. Anyways there is not much to talk about, although the page seems a bit messy with the amount of objects but you did a good job with the exercise. (by the way I won't ask you to do a page that only consists of boxes but I wanted to remind you to pay attention when the homework requires a spesific thing to be drawn since this will happen in later lessons too).

Lastly the organic intersections exercise :

Some of your forms are simply just flouting in the first page and the shadows seem to be stuck to the form for some forms and in some cases appear out of nowhere. The second page suffers the same problem with the shadow but it is also constructed like a jenga tower which is not necessarily a mistake but it seems like you could have drew more forms interaction horizontally.
