Hi,

I've attached the 15 more boxes, it took me a lot longer than I would have liked because I was so burned out on drawing just boxes I needed to do *anything* else. I still feel like it's not perfect, but I think I'm getting better, but I'll let you be the judge. Anyways, here's the link.

Hey, these are looking better, and I'm glad you took a break when you feel you needed it.

I think an issue you keep running into is how you tend to try to make one set of lines in each box parallel to each other. Usually, especially for boxes where a corner points towards us more directly, all lines will be converging to some shared vanishing point.

Additionally, there's a bit of a trend in this one where you tried to do a lot of boxes in 2 point perspective (boxes where you can only see two faces). These are easy to tackle once you really get 3 point perspective boxes down, so I wouldn't worry about throwing too many of these into the mix. #9 is a good example of a box that is showing 3 faces (this allows you to apply the steps I talked about in the original critique).

Although, now that I look at it, #9 has an issue where you've drawn the error lines in the incorrect direction (green set). This calls back to the issue of trying to make at least one set of lines parallel in any given box. Like I said before, if you find yourself struggling with divergences, it can help to go back to more obviously converging ones.

Overall, I think with this set of feedback you'll be able to tackle this slowly on your own. I think it'd be best for you to move on while continuing to do these on the side diligently. For feedback, feel free to use the community discord or the forums on this site.

Good luck on Lesson 2!

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
