This took so long to finish, but it was 110% worth it! Thank you, Irshad!
(Plus, I was able to listen to music whilst doing it :P)
Hey there! Nicely done on the challenge!
Going through the gallery, I can see that you improved immensely. One thing that was noticeably better was your confidence in your strokes. There was less wavering as the challenge went on. Keep up the great work on that.
Another thing I noticed was that you have a decent amount of dramatic foreshortening in your beginning boxes. Sometimes, it was to the point that the box looked less like a box. But, near the end, you did more shallow foreshortening, which is great. It's good to practice both, but the latter will definitely be more helpful in later lessons.
One thing I was looking for was more line weight with your boxes. I could see it on some, but I had a hard time appreciating it on others. While it is not completely necessary, it does help solidify the box form. And you probably added line weight, but it is very subtle. I would add just a tiny more line weight to solidify the forms.
Finally, on some boxes, you used correction fluid. While the instances you used it were minor (e.g., hatching lines, line extensions), please keep in mind that you should not use that. Uncomfortable wants us to live with the mistakes we make, even if they are minor and a tad unsightly. Using correction fluid or trying to scratch out sometime can lead to an unconfident mentality. Just keep that in mind for future lessons and challenges.
Overall, solid work! I think you are ready to move forward with the next lesson.
Next Steps:
Proceed to lesson 2.
Oh, wow! Thank you very much, Lupursian! Quite frankly, I didn't expect to get a review of any of my work on drawabox at all! Wow, this was very constructive! Thank you :D
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
