Hi,
You've gotten most of the critique for your earlier boxes on the discord server, so I'll be critiquing the latter ones only. Your convergences have gotten pretty good over the course of the entire set, and you converge consistently correctly, with your inner lines being almost co-linear most of the time, good work! There are slight issues with your linework. Your lines still seem somewhat wobbly, even towards the end. You have to ensure you ghost properly, and do it a few times, and then put down your line swiftly. Ensure you use your shoulder as well. I would recommend practicing ghosted planes and lines everyday whilst warming, with a focus on these things.
All-in-all, you've done pretty good work! Good job on finishing the challenge, feel free to move onto lesson 2. But practice your linework everyday.
Next Steps:
Good work!

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading
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.
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.
