I'm getting fineliners this weekend thats why I had to use a thicker ink pen (plus a regular pen for the organic perspective), also I'm left handed thats why some pages are messy with the ink as I have to get used to draw from right to left.
Congrats ICALVS on completing the exericises. Here's feedback
LINES
Superimposed a bit wobbly. Need practice
Ghosted lines are ok. You'll get better with practice
ELLIPSES
A bit on the loose side. Try to pass on the mark you laid the first loop more consistently and aim for accuracy as secondary goal.
The funnels are a bit worse. Put ellipses in your warmups often
BOXES
Try to plan better your plotted perspective. I'd suggest a panel of those once in a while
The backside of rough perspective needs to be oriented the same way as the front side. The lines need to be either horizontal or vertical. The only skewed lines need to be the ones aiming for the VP
Rotated boxes: you tried to rotate too much. As a result, you ended with not being able to draw some boxes (the ones in the corner) I'd attempt the exercise some more times during warmups, in sessions of five minutes, along with the other exercises.
Take your time with the hatching, don't scribble over the areas to darken. You are supposed to do a bunch of parallel lines. You can alternate the way they go on different faces to highlight the edges
Avoid correcting lines on organic perspective. Boxes a bit wonky, but you'll get the practice you need during the boxes challenge
Next Steps:
Next step is 250 boxes challenge
Remember the warmup described in the faq under this one https://drawabox.com/faq/grinding
Remember to ghost and draw lines from the shoulder
Also the site needs more reviews. If you have the time, please consider joining in the reviewers by doing something like the in depth reviews on my profile or at least following the guide https://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ
Lastly when you complete a review, it shows some already done reviews that need agreeing. With 2 agrees, you allow the lesson to be marked as complete. You can also go to the submission page and give some agrees on there
Doing reviews is important because the emptier the queue in general, the faster everyone gets their reviews (yourself included). People in the later lessons don't have to waste time giving lesson1 critiques, so the more advanced lessons get reviewed quicker.
Thanks if you consider it
Thanks a lot! This was very useful, specially the feedback on elipses. I will sure do all of them as warmups Thank you again.
Quick point to make about the linework on the Organic Perspective exercise - you shouldn't repeat or "correct" lines. Do them in a single quick and clean stroke, and then move on to the next line even if it wasn't exactly on point. I made the same mistake when I did the Rotated Boxes exercise, it's really tempting to do, especially when using a thin pen. Other than that, great work!
Thank you for critiquing homeworks.
I'll just drop this here: https://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ
It's important that the first reply on a submission is an actual critique, otherwise the lesson gets taken out of the queue without the chance of being reviewed.
Thank you again. Sorry to bother ^^
Sorry about that, I'll be sure to only post full critique in future. Thanks for the guide and heads up!
You can ask question and stuff when they recieved the ciritique (maybe if you critique first :3 ). Just not very fair for the person to do all that work to see it taken out of queue immediately
Thanks a lot for the reply, friend!
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
