Hi There,

Thanks for pushing me, I appreciate it. All valid points you made in your comments.

I have drawn an additional 14 boxes as some were abandoned. I allowed mistakes, focused on ghosting every single line, tried less dramatic perspective & checked accuracy from centre of Y- axis.

I have pased the link to the jpegs saved on imgur here.

Thanks again for your time reviewing my drawings.

Awesome! Excellent work here. I would still do the line extensions on the boxes you abandoned, but I'm pretty happy with these additional boxes.

It seems like you may have struggled more with the second page than the first.

First off, I see that the second page has some interesting boxes that are more 2 point perspective than 3 point perspective. Do you see how only two sides of boxes 10 and 11 are visible? This is a more difficult angle to check, and you may want to extend your green lines in the opposite direction on those two boxes. This happens when one of the inner angles in the initial Y shape is greater than 180 degrees (on both box 10 and 11, that's the angle formed by the top two lines). Not a problem, just an interesting conundrum.

Second, you have a lot of problems with diverging lines on at least one of your three sets of lines. One way to fix this is to check that your dot is placed appropriately and, if it's not in the right spot, to move it! I have had up to 4 dots before I make one that's satisfying. To check that a dot placed will lead your lines towards convergence-place the dot, then ghost from a pre-existing corner as far as you can go. If you're starting with the Y shape, you'll have the matching Y line to check it against. If you notice that the line diverges from the Y line, then make a new dot that is closer to that Y line.

These guidelines are to help assist you into the future! Next step: lesson 2~

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
