Hello Mrchungus, I hope you're doing well.
I will be dividing the critique in 3 sections, lines, ellipses, and boxes.
Starting with your lines.
Most of them are coming out pretty well. However, it does get wobbly at times. Make sure to prioritize getting confident and straight lines instead of accurate ones, as accuracy will improve over time.
There's minimal fraying on both sides on your superimposed line exercise, and overall, your lines aren't arching very much. Great job.
Moving on to your ellipses.
I see that most of them are drawn confidently and are kept within bounds pretty well. On your funnels exercise, the ellipses are aligned very well. Good job on those.
Lastly, your boxes.
On your rough perspective exercise, you did a pretty good job making your boxes and extending them out to the vanishing point.
For your rotated boxes exercise, you did a good job of keeping the gaps between your boxes narrow and consistent. However, you should try rotating the boxes a bit further as you did run into the beginner mistake of just moving the boxes back in perspective. (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/notrotating)
For your organic perspective, there are a few convergence errors here and there, but as you move on to the 250 boxes challenge, you'll get to work more on those.
Overall, you did a great job and should move on to the 250 boxes challenge.
Next Steps:
You're free to move onto the 250 boxes challenge.
I agree with you, the box section was very challenging for me, I found it difficult to keep the boxes rotation in an organic way, but its something that I am going to practice and improve in the way.
Thank you very much for your critique sir!
Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.
Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.
