I messed up counting somewhere but it got corrected as soon as I noticed it. Should still be 250 boxes. It's been a wild ride. Happy to see the improvement even if it's not as much as I would have liked!

Hello Tobbe!

I have taken a look at your work.

First off, congrats on finishing the 250 boxes! It is definitely a challenge you have to feel prouf of! So give yourself a nice pat on the back. ;)

Here are my two cents:

FIRST PAGES: (1-100)

  1. Extending lines in wrong direction.

  2. Lines not converging towards VP.

  3. Lines converging towards different points.

LAST PAGES: (100-250)

  1. Some planes converging to diferent VP: Focus on the form overall rather than lines or planes separately.

Overall, I noticed you pointed out your own mistakes as the challenge was going on. Like circling a wrong line or direction, so that's great! You are able to effectively notice your mistakes. So I don't have much critique to offer.

Final thoughts:

  1. Practice more foreshortening

  2. Your line extension improved!

I have just recently posted my own 250 boxes, so if you have time, would appreciate any critique!

Have a great day

Next Steps:

More forshortening! Keep being aware of your mistakes! and onto Lesson 2!

Thank you!

Was a really difficult challenge to go through, did around 6 boxes (somedays more) a day and it got a bit straining. However I am glad I got through.

I should have really focused a lot more on forshortening. I somewhat forgot about it after a while and I should have gone through the challenge page a few times more throughout. I will keep that in mind while doing this excercise as warmup.

Hope you have a great day too! I gave you critique too. Hope you will find that helpful.

Heya! No problem! It is my pleasure :)

There's always things we can improve on, I'm confident you'll grow to be an amazing artist if you keep it up like this!

Thanks for critique!!!

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.
