Firstly: Please do not use lined paper for drawabox!!!!!

Lines:

For superimposed lines, your lines do fray a bit more on both ends than I would expect, but otherwise things look good here.

Your lines are very straight, with little wobbling.

It does look like you went over some lines more than once, which is not something you're supposed to do in drawabox.

Ellipses:

Looks good overall.

Sometimes you miss one side of the container you're trying to draw the ellipse in, but you're good about hitting the other three. Your ellipses are very smooth.

Your ellipses should be touching in funnels, and they are not. I think it's also helpful and fun to increase the degree of your ellipses as they move away from the center. This was optional in the homework, so I'm not going to say you needed to do this.

Boxes:

The lines you traced back in rough perspective go WAY further than they need to. Stop plotting them when you get to the horizon, and the image becomes so much more readable. Looks like you did better on this on the second page.

Your rotated boxes are quite good, although there are no guides on the outside of the spokes and your boxes are a bit far away from each other (the gaps should be narrower). It's also important to the exercise to use the sides of neighboring boxes as guides, and place the vertices of your new box close to the vertices of the old box. This would help with how some boxes (like that one in the top left) look out of place.

In organic perspective, your boxes themselves look good, but you're redoing lines like CRAZY. That's no good for this course. You could also stand to vary your scale more from the start of your liune to the finish.

Overall good, but the lined paper is a real problem that needs to go before you do more stuff. Keep ghosting lines, and don't repeat them.

Next Steps:

-Get different paper

-Optionally, one more sheet of organic perspective without redrawing lines (and on different paper!)

-250 box challenge

Thank you for your feedback.

1.I have done the organic perspective homework one more time and that does help me a lot. my line is much smoother and despite the urge to fix the line like last time, I overcome it, except my mistake.

  1. Oh boy, I'm glad that you told me to change the paper. The print paper is much easier to draw and I have so much room to draw, the old one definitely messes me up.

    Here is one more sheet of organic perspective. https://imgur.com/a/zgidbin.

Glad to hear that helped! I'd definitely still like to see more variation in the size between your boxes (start smaller, end bigger) but the change in paper is really nice! Your lines look much cleaner now. Best of luck with the 250 box challenge!

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
