Hi Pluto!
I've seen your excercise and it's difficult to see clearly the boxes in some pages due to the lines of correction. Despite all of that, I realized that many of your boxes have something in common that might be causing you problems. That is in the three angles which form the corner that are the closest to the viewer. Each one of this angles are always going to be greater than 90º. I'm telling you this because I am following a rule which is explained here https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/step2 . Starting a box with this simple "Y" rule, and then adding the next steps, will make it easier for you.
I I've also had trouble with the enclosing of the boxes, it is completely normal, what i did was trying to find out with the ghosting method, putting a point and then adjust it by putting another one if i wasn't happy with the first one.
I hope I've helped.
Congratulations and keep on drawing!
Next Steps:
If I were you I would give a try at this simple excercise using the "Y" method and see how it goes.
Hi! Thanks for taking your time analysing my work. But the method of "Y" is being utilized!, if you check, i have completed all lesson 1 and the organic perspective is included. Shall i make it again o the challenge in itself?
Hi! What I really meant was that you should pay attention to the angles when you start drawing a box. I think that your work is fine, and I see that you are making progress and gaining confidence in your lines.
Maybe a better suggestion than making the organic perspective is to just practice drawing some boxes from time to time.
Good luck!
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.
