Helloooo! Congratulations on completing the 250 box challenge! Give yourself a pat on the back :) It’s a lot of work after all! That aside, I’ll be taking a look at your submission.

Things you did well:

  • Line confidence was definitely a major strength all throughout; including both superimposed and hatching lines. Hatched lines are mostly evenly spaced. Even if there's wobble introduced here and there, it should be refined over time.

  • You experimented with both rapid, and shallow foreshortening quite a bit. This is good! Experimenting with these concepts allow us to grasp them better. Additionally, your convergences in general were quite well done. There are minor issues present, which I'll expand upon in the next section. Overall, you show clear understanding of the concepts that were laid out.

Things you can work on:

  • You should experiment more with rotations during future warmups. A lot of the boxes here have the same rotation. Here's a useful diagram that illustrates the various ways a box can rotate. All boxes should be drawn from imagination, so really only use it to get an idea of the rotations rather than relying on it.

  • While you did a good job on convergences overall, there were some cases where lines converged in pairs. Here's an example. Making mistakes occasionally is inevitable, but here's a useful diagram we can use to try and mitigate it. As you can see, the inner lines are generally similar in terms of orientation. The outer lines are the ones most manipulated by the rates of foreshortening. While there are special cases, such as when a box is long, generally these two rules are pretty consistent.

All that aside, I'd like to congratulate you once again for completing the challenge. I'm fully confident that you understood the concepts the challenge laid out, and that you're prepared for lesson 2! Well done.

Next Steps:

Lesson 2.

Marco Bucci's Getting Started with Digital Painting

Marco Bucci's Getting Started with Digital Painting

Marco Bucci's got a ton of great courses available on proko.com, including some of the best videos you can find on using colour and light. Since a lot of our students want to break into working with digital painting however, I thought this course in particular would be a great start to get into the weeds with how to navigate the confusing world of layers, brushes, and more.

This course highlights programs across the full spectrum of options, ranging from the current industry standard Adobe Photoshop, to the Free-and-Open-Source darling Krita, as well as the mobile favourite, Procreate.
