Started Drawabox a long time ago,Did Lesson1,250 box challenge and midway through lesson 2 burned out.

After taking a brake of about 3-4 months I have begun drawabox again from the very beginning.

Please Review my work and mark it as complete so that I may proceed.

Your suggestion can be forthright.I will not mind.

Thank you.

Hi Sophistamaan, congrats for finishing lesson 1 (again!). I'll give you some of my critique.

Firstly on your lines. Overall, i see that all your lines are quite smooth and confident, as well as being pretty accurate, good job on that! I guess it's because you've already gone through Lesson 1 and the 250 box challenge. Though there's some fraying on both ends in some lines on your superimposed lines, especially on the longest lines. Do remember to place your pen with a bit of thought.

Next, on your ellipses, they're overall quite well done! Your ellipses are all drawn through, fit in quite snuggly within bounds. Really there's not much i can say.

Finally, on your boxes. As like above, they're pretty great! All your lines are straight and confident, as well as being accurate. Your experience with the 250 box challenge still carries over here imo.

Overall, as a revision of lesson 1, i think you did really great! You've definitly still remember to make smooth and confident lines, and you've understood the objective of the assignments well.

Next Steps:

Feel free to move on to the 250 box challenge :)

And tbh, with the prior experience you've got, i think you might don't need to do the whole challenge again, maybe ~50 boxes to get a grip again in drawing boxes.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
