Hi WhiteofNottheSea, I've checked your submission.

So, good job on completing the challenge, I can see a lot of progression through your work, your boxes got more confident and you start hitting more convergences. Though there is still room for improvement.

First off, I'm seeing that you are haveng trouble with the back corner, so try this method of construction next time you are warming up with some boxes.

On big thing that you are not consistently doing during the challenge is applying line weight on the silhouette of your boxes. Now, line weight is tool we have to clarify how our forms sit and relate to each other in 3d space, in this case, by highlighting the silhouette of our boxes we are showing to the viewer how that box is facing them. Here it is explained on the challenge page.

I'm noticing that in a lot of cases you are repeating lines to correct them, try to fight this urge- One on side, it just makes everything more messy, and also, you should learn to stick to your mistakes.

Lastly, one thing that you can do to guess more accurately the convergence of the lines you are putting down is taking into account the relationships between all the lines on a set of parallels. By seeing how other lines converge in relation to each other, you are guessing more accurately than just comparing it with one, check this diagram and don't worry if it doesn't make sense, it's a little confusing but it will click eventually.

Overall, you did a very good job on this challenge, so I'm gonna go ahead and mark it as completed! Keep it up.

Next Steps:

Feel free to move on to lesson 2.

Hello, thank you for the time for writing my critique!

I would like to ask however, how would line weight be able play a role in drawing my back corner better? Most of the time, I've been following that tip in the Discord being "draw the back corner earlier".

Also, if I can ask again, will more on line weight be covered in the later lessons?

Again, thank you for your help and your response in advance!

Hi, I'm glad you found my critique useful!

Regarding line weight, yes, i will be covered in later lessons, especially on Uncomfy's videos where he tends to go on tangents on different topics, and one of them is usually line weight.

Also, line weight has no correlation with drawing the back corner better, that has to do more with how you construct your forms, while line weight has to do with how do you clarify those forms you've constructed.

I hope you find this answers useful!

PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
