Heyo, plz ignore the post made to the sketchbook as it was a total accident, I forgot to switch it to homework, sorry. Anyways, hope you're having a wonderful day and any feedback and critiques would be greatly appreciated! Also if the link doesn't connect to the whole album then here are the links that you can use. Have a nice day! Btw, does anyone know how to delete a post on here? I don't want it to seem as if I am making two of the same posts on purpose.

Take some time to get the album submission/image organization worked out before the 250 boxes as it's going to be a real pain if you do those one image at a time. I also recommend getting these in order for future submissions as it'll make it easier to provide feedback in the future to let you progress.

For the organic perspective you shouldn't feel bad about drawing through the shapes, and it looks like the vanishing points are going towards the viewer rather than away, make sure to pay attention to the orientation and direction of the vanishing point as you move into the 250 box exercise.

Your linework otherwise looks good and patient, keep up the clean look moving forward.

Next Steps:

Proceed to the 250 box challenge and pay special attention to the direction of the vanishing points when going through the instruction for guideline placement. There is some supplemental materials on the discord as well after you've had a chance to do a few for yourself.

This is proably gonna sound dumb, but how do I get an entire album submission to work properly? Because I drag and drop all images and instead of giving me the link for the album it just gives me the link for one image and I just have no idea what to do.

When you drag and drop multiple images into the uploader function, I believe it gives you an imgur.com/a/ link in the browser that you can then share around. I always have to fiddle with it to give me what I want :)

I see, thanks! I've been having this problem for the first couple of exercises because I didn't know how to make it work.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
