I wasn't sure of posting, so its a little later now. I'm currently at box 51 in the 250 box challange, and I thought why not post it for feedback. So here I am.

Alright After looking at your Lesson Submission. Your Superimposed lines have no problems , but your ghosted lines have problems of overshooting again this isn't a problem as a beginner since accuracy will build over time.

Elipses in planes have problems I noticed that you are having trouble with fitting them snuggly in the planes and it also looks that whenever you're drawing over them a second time they steer off trajectory and you stop drawing them. The solution to this would be to draw through them even if you lost track of your trajectory. Also the requirement was two pages not three Please try to keep to the recommended number of exercises and don't grind.

Tables of Elipses nothing wrong there you are doing okay.

Elipses in funnels are okay except the part where you drew a straight line without arcing lines and the line in the middle. Please try to follow the instructions exactly as they are written. Moving on to RoughPerspective everything is okay there is nothing to comment about that there.

You are clearly struggling with rotated boxes by keeping them neatly aligned to each other , you're clearly not using the neighbouring forms that help us keep everything snuggly rotated. Try to think more about perspective how the vertical line runs perpendicular to the horizon and how the horizontal runs parallel. The second Page is better than the first , but this exercise only recommended 1 pages of rotated boxes. This exercise is meant to come out horribly the first time you do this so don't worry if It's not perfect.

In organic perspective you're using dramatic and shallow foreshortening in the wrong places try to read more about perspective in the adittional notes https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/7.

Overall This Lesson Is complete But i recommend you to only do the number of homework that is required.

Next Steps:

Do the 250 box challenge for spatial awareness.

Thank you very much for that detailed Review!

I will encorporate all that feedback for my next steps.

And for the next lesson I will stick to the exact specifications of homework.

Again thank you very much for taking the time :).

Cheers

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.

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.
