Hi, IarinaM.

Overall they are good. As stated by The_Desert_Vixen, in some occasions it seems like you've rushed, but, in the end, you managed to keep them mostly clean, which is a good thing.

One thing I noticed is that even after your 200th box, you still struggled sometimes to select which plane to shade. For example (this is only for your 200+ boxes, but it still happened before these), your 205th, 206th, 230th and 236th boxes have the shading on the back planes. Check here what you did wrong and see if this helps. The front planes are the ones that are touching the edges of the front Y.

Also, that inner corner seems that is still a challenge for you. One thing that helped me was to place all the dots before drawing any line. It's not easy, because you'll have to find the the perspective before drawing a single line, but in the end, you can look at all dots and find if there's any major perspective issues. Then you can correct the dots and draw all the lines. Some people also prefer to draw the inner corner right after the initial Y. These are two methods that you can try and maybe they'll help you with it.

Because there are not severe issues with your boxes, feel free to move on to the second lesson.

Next Steps:

Lesson 2.

I like how you varied the sizes of the boxes, I think you understand the concept from what I can see. One thing I noticed though was that you were reinforcing the inside lines of some of the boxes vs. the outside edges if that makes sense. Some of the pages looked a little rushed, how long did you spend on the assignment?

The last page though looks a lot neater, though. good job!

Thank you for your review!

I spend about 10 days on the assignment, sometimes during my work time so probably that is why some are rushed. I was also struggling with patience but after 250 I have to say my patience increased.

The lines are reinforced inside sometimes because my hand would go crazy during ghosting :( I find this also a test of my desire to learn so I feel this is a good challenge. Can I go to lesson 2?

I don't know, I'm not an official critiquer, but you can tell the boxes were kind of fast. I think you are supposed to take your time and think quality over speed. I'm sure someone else will weigh in, though.

thank you!

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.

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.
