Hello everyone! Here is my drawabox lesson one homework. As you can see I butchered the rotated boxes exercise but rather than fixate I've decided to just move onto the 250 challenge (I blame ballpoint pen, my fineliner died lol). ANY advice would be highly appreciated and I fully intend to do the same for others on the site. Thank you!
Hi Jekettex, as you know I just posted Lesson 1 for review so don't know if my advices would plenty help you, anyway, there what i though on your work:
LINES:
As far as i can see i think you did a good job there, on superimposed lines pretty much all start from similar points, letting know that you take you're time to prepare each line, on the ghosted lines and planes i just see one or two wobbly lines, i think as a start it's a good job, the only thing i would critic is the accurate of some lines, but, i think that would come with experience, so, well done.
Ellipses:
Not much to say here, your ellipses seems fare enough confident. I can tell you had some struggles making them reaching their boundaries but, again, it's a fare enough good for starting. On Funnels you could change more the degree by making little axis bigger on the last ellipses, but since that was an optional task I won't say that you should repeat it
Boxes
The plotted perspective is well done, nothing to say, but, the rough perspective have some issues on how the perspective change the lines, i can see that you draw some 90° degrees angles and that make some boxes seem out of perspective compared to other that you done great. Try to ghost the lines of your boxes all the way to the vanishing point, that did it for me.
On rotated boxes and organic perspective you did a great job rotating each box, but you imposed some lines (specially on organic perspective) so try to do only one line, even if it gets wrong, that would help you with accuracy and smoothness.
Hoping to be helpful,

Hi Pakas,
This is all really helpful advice! I definitely have a habit of imposing on lines a little too much where it isn't necessarily needed. I think i'm trying to iron out imperfections, i'm not too sure. I've noted what you touched on with the funnels exercise as well and will incorporate that when I do it again. I look foreward to sharing critiques with you again soon!
All the best,
Jekettex
Hello! Hopefully, my advice is clear and helpful!
Lines
Overall good job. I will say they are some lines fraying on both ends on the super-imposed. Also, they are a couple that are slightly wobbly on the ghosted lines. Ensure you ghost enough that you can confidently draw the line.
Ellipses
Good job as well. Though, the most noticeable mistake is on the table of ellipses. Some of them are not within bounds or overlapping, as well as not touching each other. Maybe ghost a little more for those.
Boxes
Good job again! For a first time on the rotated boxes, it's not too bad. It's great that you ensure corners of each box are close to each other for consistent gap space. Additionally, you kept them rotated so that's good.
As for the rough perspective, some of your width lines are not parallel to the horizon and some of your depth lines are not perpendicular to it. Those mistakes may have come from "wrong" perspective, but it's definitely difficult to pull off so refrain from beating yourself up on it.
Honestly, solid effort and keep it up!
Next Steps:
250 box challenge!!!
Hi El,
Thank you so much for the critique, it's very much appreciated. I'll be working on making sure I ghost properly from here on out!
All the best,

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.
