Good day and congrats for completing the crucible, zat3am! I'm Giuldzap aka Fervent Heroes and i'll be handling the critique for this submission today.

You've done a good job in following instructions! Your lines are very confident, correct line weight applied, decent convergences but not perfect (which is good enough) you extended lines correctly with a few cases where you whiffed it like box 55. It looks like you deliberately read the material and followed it to a T.

One down side is that i do observe most boxes being shallow forshortening and very few cases of dramatic, which, the challenge would've helped you out more by having an equal balance between these two.

Overall a fantastic submission with minor errors. You can now try to elevate your box skills by practicing the additional exercises as warmups for the next lesson, which is...

Next Steps:

Lesson 2!

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.

I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
