Thank you for the feedback, Feldspar! I really appreciate it!
Here's the Rough Perspective page redone https://imgur.com/a/FD0eFwL
Also, I have a question. I know the Negotiating corners method was explained after the Rough perspective homework, but can I still use it in the future for this type warm-up? When working on this I often caught the mistakes early, but I tried to commit to the marks I already made.
Firstly thanks for taking time and completing this exercise!
About your Rough Perspective: Its getting better! You are on the right track. Just remember that your front and back faces of boxes need to be rectangular(composed of horizontals that are parallel to the horizon line, and verticals that are perpendicular to it) and everything should come in place with warmups.
About your question: You already using it, kinda :p. Look, in Rough Perspective exercise your choices ends after you place first of the back corner. Then, comes two rules: first that your box is converging towards your vanishing point, meaning edges that connect front and back faces will go towards vanishing point and second that front and back faces of the boxes need to be rectangular. With those two rules in mind you start to apply ghosting method to find where your remaining corners will go based on the information present on the page so there is no arbitrary guesswork (https://imgur.com/a/eLREsaW). Only after you make sure that two of this rules you think are applied you start to connect corners and make marks. In Organic Perspective exercise, on the other hand, we don't have that much information - we only have three edges of y and besides that we have no only one but three vanishing points. So here comes the negotiating corner when we need to find a compromise of the two pairs of edges in one face of the box to make sure that they converge to corresponding vanishing points. And besides that we have plenty room for our choices: make box with dramatic or shallow convergence. So in Rough Perspective exercise you use a simpler version of ghosting method then in Organic Perspective. Don't worry you will have a lot of time to experiment with those methods in 250 box challenge.
As about the 250 Box Challenge:
Next Steps:
I give greenlight to 250 Boxes Challenge.
Add these exercises to your warmup pool and don't forget about your %50 rule (I will advise if you haven't followed it, you should go ahead and pay your 50% play debt before the challenge)
Have fun!!!
Ooh, I get it now. Thank you for your time!
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
