Hi Teitoklein! Glad to know you're enjoying the course so far. The homework was pretty well done, though I've pointed out some mistakes below.

Lines

Super imposed lines: On the top right of the page as well as some of the longer lines, the lines are frayed at both ends. Try to ensure that you start at the exact same point everytime you make a mark. The longer lines also have slight arches; this might be because you're drawing from your elbow, not your shoulder-try to be conscious and make sure your elbow isn't resting on the table.

Ghosted Lines: The ghosted lines are pretty good! There's slight wobbles in some longer lines but are overall steady and confident which is what the lesson is aiming for.

Ghosted Planes: Some of the planes' bisecting lines miss the centre of the plane. In the 1st page, the 2nd plane to from the left is missing 2 of the bisecting lines.

Ellipses

Tables of Ellipses: Some of the ellipses are a bit deformed and overlapping each other and spilling into other parts of the table.

Funnels Exercise: Some of the ellipses are slanted and don't fit snugly within the arches. Some of the ellipses also don't pass properly through the minor axis (line through the middle of the ellipses).

Boxes

Plotted Perspectives: Well done!

Rough Perspectives: On the 1st page, 1st frame on the leftmost box, one of the lines was redrawn multiple times. In the future, try not to redo your lines.

Rotated Boxes: Pretty decent!

Organic Perspective: On both pages, frames 2 and 3, I would suggest having the swoopy line (the part closest to the viewer) touch the edge of the frame to further promote the illusion of perspective. On pg1 frame 2 and pg2 frame 2, both the first and last box are almost the same size, which breaks the illusion of perspective.

Overall, nice work! I hope you continue to improve and enjoy this course :)

Hello there congrats for finishing lesson one

Lines

Superimposed lines look confident, The first page looks better, the lines are more confident with no wobbles.

Ghosted lines overall look confident, I will say speed up your strokes by a bit to improve. Plot , ghos the motion until confident with it then swiftly draw in the line. Ghost until confident.

The lines of the ghosted planes are okay but here too, ghost till confident. Keep at it.

Ellipses

Ellipses look confident overall. In the table of ellipses are a few places where ellipses are not in contact with the table walls/bounds.

Draw through all ellipses, I see some that are not drawn through or its my eyes.

Boxes

Plotted perspective looks solid, consider adding line weight where boxes overlap.

Rough perspective looks okay, keep in mind that the vertical lines are perpendicular to the horizon and the horizontal lines are paralell to the horizon. This will help you plot line.

For rotated boxes look at the video lesson again and see how you approach drawing each box, also I will ask for revision here as boxes are missing and it looks rushed.

Here too plot your points, ghost lines until confident then commit to the motion and execute the line.

With the center and center left boxes there is no rotation there.

Organic perspective looks okay, add lineweight where boxes overlap.

Revision

1 page rotated boxes ( look at video lesson , rotate all boxes) plot all lines and draw all boxes. use only one line, don't repeat lines.

Good luck :)

Hello Pxan02 here are my thoughts on your submission,

-Too much wobblying even by the end of it. This suggest you are not drawing from your shoulder. Remember that you should be ghosting your lines multiple times in order to perform a smooth, confident stroke. You should prioritize smoothness over accuracy.

-You are not utilizing line weight in any significant manner and your hatching is not planned out, it is instead scribbled and sometimes added to the side that's facing away from the viewer. Compare this with yours

Remember to use line weight strategically to help clarify the silhouette of the box and to use hatching to clarify which side is facing the viewer. You should plan out your hatching, by starting on one side of the face and performing a smooth confident stroke to the other.

-Convergences: to me it seems that you are not really thinking about how the lines converge towards a VP, but are instead attempting to make them all parallel. There is also no clear attempt at dramatic foreshortening. Many times you'll extend your lines towards the viewer when it should be away from them. You've also only checked two convergence points as opposed to the three in "3 point perspective."

Conclusion: It seems to me that you did not really pay attention to the material, I suggest that you re-read the entire section of the 250 Box Challenge and watch the video again. After having done that do 250 more boxes that follow the guidelines outlined in the material. I suggest that you join the Drawabox discord server in case you need further guidance.

Best of luck moving forward,

-Slyx

It looks like you're getting the hang of it. There are a few lines that seem a little squiggly, but I'm sure you did your best. I would suggest using a red gel pen to do the line tracing to the vanishing point. Marker is a little hard to see when the lines start converging/overlapping.

Hello, Alma! It's been a while. Hope you're doing well. So, let's start with the critique:

Lines:

• Jesus, I have to say, your linework is fantastic. They almost look like they are made with a ruler! I like how complete the boxes look, and honestly the hatching is good. Maybe the outer lines could use a biit of lineweight, but other than that, great.

Convergence:

• Okay, here is the difficult bit. Lots of the boxes have good convergence, but there is a lot of them that are parallel lines or diverge slightly. Both of those things are mistakes, since in three point perspective, the line should always converge, even if its slightly. I also think that the pages had too many boxes, so that kinda impeded the lines to be seen to their full potential.

• Also, in one box, you made the lines go towards the viewer, so be careful about that. They should always go away from the viewer.

Personally, I think the boxes look fantastic, but the convergence worries me a bit.
