My "Re-post" for official critique, following the critique and recommendations from NIHLEX. I did an extra 50 boxes taking as much time as necessary for each box 10-12 minutes and have seen greater improvement as compared to my first 250 boxes that i rushed through.
Thank you for taking your time to review and critique my work!
Yo, TA qzhans here!
It's not every day that I get a 300 box submission! Seems like you handled it pretty well however. From what I can tell, you’ve painstakingly drawn through all your boxes and extended every single last line out to check your errors, and your boxes have been better for it.
In terms of linework, I don't have a lot of complaints. I also like how you've used line weight to reinforce the silhouettes of your boxes and help them pop out. You do have quite a lot of double lines as a result, but I'm actually fine with those; as long as you're executing each line with confidence and ghosting properly, over time the accuracy will catch up.
In terms of convergences, your accuracy is pretty laser cut. I could nitpick on a slight angle here and there, but I don't think that'd be very helpful.
One issue I'd like to bring up is how the length of your error lines gradually began to shorten out throughout the set, to the point where it was hard to tell if there was divergence or not. Make sure to extend it out 2-3 times the original line length, crashing it into other boxes if need be.
In the future, you could experiment with doing extra large boxes, as your boxes here are quite small. That'll be a good exercise for both your linework and convergence.
Overall, it's not really a surprise that this is a strong submission, given that you've done quite a bit extra. Good luck on Lesson 2!
Next Steps:
Lesson 2
Thank you TA qzhans for the feedback, much appreciated!
will begin with lesson 2 right away.
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
