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.

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.

The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
