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!

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.

The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
