Hi, i will be reviewing your submission.

Seeing the accuracy on the lines and also on the ellipses exercises, it make me think that maybe you lost a bit of patience in doing the boxes exercises, which are less accurate and hurried. Don't know if it's worth it to redo them since you'll be drawing 250 of them. So i'll mark this lesson as complete.

Next Steps:

250 Boxes challenge with the advice to think them through without rushing. So you can understand the planes better and to make it become easier for to draw them correctly in a shorter amount of time as you go.

This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete. In order for the student to receive their completion badge, this critique will need 2 agreements from other members of the community.

I'm marking agreement that you should move on to the next lesson, but I want to note that I agree with the not rushing part, make sure you're ghosting each line/ellipse and trying to draw each with confidence and less hesitation so they don't wobble as much =) It's definitely more noticeable from rough perspective onwards, the earlier ones like ghosted lines specifically were pretty clean. That stuff will come with time and practice too, but it's good to be aware of it! Also quick side note, I don't remember what the instructions were for hatching boxes in the first few lessons, but it's a good idea to try to draw those lines like you do the others, with ghosting and clean lines, instead of squiggling them =)

Edit: Oops I think I should have replied to OP not to you Narquelion, that's my bad haha

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.
