My family doesn't have paypal and credit card to apply for Patreon. So I hope to get reviews from here instead. Originally I wasn't going to post any of my homeworks but the people from Drawbox Discord server convinced me to.

Hello Minnori, I hope you're doing well.

I'll be dividing this critique into 3 sections. Lines, Ellipses, and Boxes.

I'll be starting with your lines.

Overall, I think that your lines came out very well. I see that you're prioritizing getting confident and straight lines instead of accurate ones, so great job.

I also see that your superimposed line exercise came out fairly well. There isn't much fraying at the start. They're nicely done.

Moving onto your ellipses.

Your ellipses came out very smooth and confident. They're also mostly well kept in bounds, and on your funnels exercise. they're well aligned to the minor axis. You did a good job on those.

Lastly, your boxes.

On your rough perspective exercise, you did a great job on forming the boxes with confident and straight lines.

Your rotated boxes exercise also turned out very nicely. Well done.

On your organic perspectives exercise, they're mostly well done, but I do see some convergence errors here and there. However, it's not a very significant thing to worry about as on the 250 boxes challenge, you'll get many chances to practice those.

Overall, fantastic job on all of your exercises. I'll be marking this lesson as complete and you're free to move onto the 250 boxes challenge. Good luck!

Next Steps:

You're free to move onto the 250 boxes challenge.

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.
