hello there,

welcome to drawabox.

it seems you had to wait quite a while to get your work critiqued, i'll be viewing your work , lets see what we have here.

lines : woah! you did a fantastic job. The lines look confident. I see alot of fraying in second page of your superimposed lines , but its okay . With time i'm very sure that you will master it. You nailed the ghosted lines and planes . Though in ghosted lines, some lines have come short, since its very minimal i can overlook it . Very great with lines!

Ellipses : Nothing less from here too. You've drawn your ellipses confidently and that is the primary focus in drawabox . Dont worry about not being able to snuggly fit your ellipses in the table or plane , with time and consistent practise , i'm very sure that you can make it. You've followed the guidelines very well . Confident lines, drawing through circle 2 or 3 times, clear intent of trying to snuggly fit in your ellipses, drawing from shoulder and ghosting before making mark, minor axis symmetrically cutting your ellipses in halves, though not perfect but very close and thats a good point kudos !

Boxes : Very good with Plotted perspective. you've done well in rough perspective as well . dont sweat about not getting some perspective correct, you'll experiment with them more in 250 box challenge. Your rotated box is fine as well, Boxes are rotating and the lines are good which is the focus of the lesson. Very well with organic perspectives as well, i can feel the depth in it. Though i'll mention you about line weight, it helps you to exacuate depth and makes it easy to convey the information about which line lies closer to the viewer. It helps to solidify our forms as well . https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/1/lineweight

Well, I can see that you've very much understood the gist of this lesson, so yeah feel free to elevate to 250 box challenge. Best of luck with it. This is all i can say , if you have any questions or doubts , feel free to ask them. Also dont forget to do a warmup exercise of a page consisting of these exercises periodically. It helps tremendously in a long run.

Sincerely,

-TryingtoDrawaBox

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.

If you'd like to advertise here, you can do so through comicad.net

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.

Sketching: The Basics

A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.

Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
