I had some problems adding line weight to the boxes (especially in the first four pages). From box 24 and on I slowly realized that I wasn't applying enough weight on my hand so the pen was quite free to deviate or wobbles while adding line weight; by pushing slightly harder (just enough to make the hand fore firm on the paper) I was able to make more precise strokes, yet a bit less fluid, that improved the thicker line work quality.

Thanks in advance for reviewing my work! :)

Hi, I’ll be critiquing your 250 box challenge

Lines

As you said at the beginning the line-work wasn't really good, but it got better as you gone on; remember also to avoid trying to correct strokes by adding other lines.

You are using hatching correctly, the line quality looks ok, but it could be of better quality, take your time when hatching and don't rush it.

Box Construction

You have applied the line extension method correctly and all of your sets of lines converge, but make sure to have the extension line and the original edge of the box well aligned, in some of the it isn't.

There is a good variety in boxes angle, sizes and vanishing point distance, it's a nice thing that you've experimented with them.

I can see some problems with converging in pairs and diverging lines, but these errors got less and less frequent as you gone on, so I think you are on the right track for fixing them, or at least you're well able to see them.

Aside from these issues I think you've done a good job and I belive you will continue to improve with practice.

Next Steps:

I think you're ready to move on to lesson 2, good luck!

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.
