Nice work! Your lines are confident and not wobbly, your boxes are clean, and you did not try to redraw any lines. The sillouettes and crosshatching are well executed and It helps communicate the orientation of the boxes to the viewer.

Your perspective is pretty good, too. A good amount of your boxes are almost spot on the vanishing points. I see that with some boxes, the back lines are very off though. That is okay, the back corner is one of the hardest parts to get right because of how the other mistakes you make all compound and effect the back corner.

In order to fix the back corner, you need to really consider the relationship between the four lines and how they converge. lines that are close to eachother will be almost parallel but converge very subtly, and ones that are far apart will converge much more. Here is a diagram that can help you understand this:

The other thing you could try to fix this mistake is changing the order of which you draw the lines in the boxes, as demonstrated in this diagram

This issue is not bad enough to where I would request that you do some extra boxes to fix it. But if you wanted, it would be beneficial to do 50 or so extra boxes where you really focus on fixing the back corner. It would be difficult, but if you consult the diagram regularly and really try to understand the relationship between the four lines, you will eventually get it down. This would also help you those non-back lines that sometimes still end up way off the vanishing point, too.

Next Steps:

I you want, you can try and do 50 extra boxes to really perfect your back lines and get those lines converging. But your boxes are already good enough to go ahead to lesson 2, so its optional.

Overall, very good work, and keep it up!

Thank you for the compliments and advice. I think what I'm gonna do is use the 50 extra boxes a warm up before I go into Lesson 2's work, maybe 2 or 3 boxes until I get the back lines and the converging down.

With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

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.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
