I currently work as a 3D artist and am using drawabox to help strengthen my more traditional skills. It's taken me a bit to get through all of lesson 1, as I only have a small amount of time each day, but I can definitly tell that I've improved over time. There are some homework exercises (like organic perspective!) where I definitely started with a misunderstanding of the technique, but eventually corrected. Let me know what you think!

Looks good to me! I think your ghosting and line quality improved over time. There were some wobbles that might be due to drawing from a different joint than your shoulder. Also some of your corner boxes on the rotated exercise don't converge, though I think you corrected this in the organic perspective portion

Next Steps:

250 box challenge! (I think, I'm in the same cohort as you)

Thank you! I definitely see those critiques. I'm hoping to improve even more in the 250 box challenge.

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
