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!!!

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
