Congratulations on getting through this!

First of all, you have good variation on size and shape of your boxes, clean lines, and pretty hatching. However, there are some notable struggles you have.

  1. Sometimes your convergence lines are pointed in the wrong direction. Here is how to get them right, every time: https://imgur.com/a/3YXACR6

  2. Sometimes your boxes do diverge, even in the late stage. (Example with corrections: https://imgur.com/a/JxX5CcQ ) Here is one way of drawing boxes that helped me understand it better: https://imgur.com/a/CP1JmaBA

Next Steps:

So, I imagine the last thing you want to hear right now is "draw more boxes." However, since the convergence lines are often backwards, even by the end, this is my advice: Draw 20 more, and really focus on getting the convergence correct like so: https://imgur.com/a/3YXACR6

I highly recommend getting on the DAB discord if you can, and uploading your work as you go to the section marked as whatever lesson or challenge you're on. It will save you from doing a whole ton of stuff, only to find out that there was something that needed to change about your approach. I've had people catch my fundamental errors early on in a lesson, which helped avoid redos. Also, they have a critique exchange, where you can do 5 critiques and be put on a spreadsheet to have your work critiqued faster!

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Fabulous, that's what I was looking for!

Next Steps:

On to lesson 2, and remember to do the 50% work!

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.

Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
