I'm going to be reviewing your 250 Box challenge just as I have reviewed your Lesson 1.

Right off the bat I've noticed your boxes are very cluttered. I see that you have even managed to cram 13 boxes into a single page! I think that it would've helped to do less boxes per page. The exercise recommends 6 per page, but I personally prefer 4. This should make it easier on you to see what you are drawing.

Not all of your extending lines for your boxes extend away from the viewer. This is evident in boxes 10, 11, 13, 28, 30, 39, and 50 to name some. Overall it was difficult for me to decipher due to the before-mentioned messiness and the lack of an outside border (which is optional, but helps). It seems that you made that correction yourself towards the end, but it looks way overdone giving an overall cartoony appearance. I would recommend reviewing this section on that.

It's hard to tell, but it looks like a lot of your lines are coming out parallel to each other. Since we are working in 3-Point Perspective for each of these boxes (hence the 3 sets of lines), each of those sets should be gradually getting closer to each other as they extend. Here is an example.

I've noticed some extra wobbliness in your boxes that were not present in your Lesson 1. It seems to me that you were rushing the boxes a bit. Slow done and make confident strokes.

Overall, I feel that your boxes could use a bit more improvements. I will unfortunately have to ask for some revisions before I can mark this as complete. Please make these revisions before moving on in the course. Something that I forgot to mention in your Lesson 1 review is that you need 2 agrees from people in the community before you can have your lesson marked as complete. The critique channel in the Drawabox Discord channel can also help with this.

Next Steps:

10 more boxes so that I can check your progress, followed by 50 more boxes after I have checked the previous 10.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

These are looking really good! Go right ahead to the other 50. Feel free to change the orientation a bit for each one, I noticed that the boxes had a very similar orientation on this round.

Next Steps:

50 More Boxes

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.
This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
