Hi there!
I'm sorry you had to wait a while for a critique. I see that you're using ballpoint, but do keep in mind fineliner is required after the 250 box challenge. It's also recommended you use copy paper if you can. In the future, please try to keep your submissions in order and avoid drawing on top of your assignments. I also see that you often do extra pages for assignments - remember not to grind and only complete the recommended amount of pages.
Lines:
-
I'm assuming the last image is your superimposed lines. It's okay to have overlapping lines, but try to keep it clear enough that each line can be seen. I'm seeing some wobbling, and fraying on both ends of your lines; so try and draw confidently and take the time to align your pen to the start point of the line. And don't forget to do a couple of curved lines :)
-
Ghosted lines are straight, which is nice! Make sure not to correct lines, ie, draw another line over a line you draw because the first one was "bad"
-
Ghosted Planes are good; try to arrange them so that you can fit more planes on the page. Otherwise, all your lines are straight, and you did a good job plotting the points for the bisection lines.
Ellipses:
-
It looks like you might've missed some instructions for your Table of Ellipses, but your ellipses are smooth and you draw through them. Try and work on keeping them tight and touching boundaries when you do warm-ups in the future. Also, please don't add extra scribbles or drawings on top of exercises, it makes it a bit hard to see. Additionally, part of the exercise is to add extra boundaries, ie drawing a wave through the sections: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/11/step3
- Since you missed that, I'm going to ask you to redo a quick page, but don't worry, it's not because your ellipses are bad, we just want to fully complete the exercise
-
Ellipses in Planes is great! No problems there, just remember not to draw through ellipses more than three times.
-
Funnels are good as well.
Boxes:
-
Plotted Perspective is good, but make sure that lines meant to be perpendicular and parallel to the horizon line aren't tilted at a weird angle.
-
Good plotted perspective. Make sure not to correct lines, again.
-
Organic Perspective is good as well! Nothing that hasn't been said.
-
Good Rotated Boxes, you'll work on that more in the 250 box challenge.
Again, make sure not to grind, and to keep your pages clean. After you get a page of Table of Ellipses done, you can move on to the 250 box challenge :)
Next Steps:
1 page of Table of Ellipses
After that, you're all good to go for the 250 box challenge :)
