Hi Stengon,
I've checked your submission,
I was looking to review someone's lesson 3 and I stumble with your work, though I've noticed that no one had reviewed your 250 box challenge, so today I'm gonna go over it and in the next couple days I'm gonna review your work on lesson 3. Now on to the actual review:
It looks like you understood what is this challenge all about, I can see how your boxes get better as you progress through the challenge, they get bigger, you start hitting more vanishing points and overall look more confident. However, there are some things I wanted ti give you advice on.
I've noticed tht you've applied little to none Line weight during the challenge. This is not an aesthetic choice of this course, it's on of many tools we use to communicate things to the viewer, in this case we use it to mark in a subtle way the overall contours of the box so it's easier to understand which faces are facing where.
Now, don't be afraid to apply because there is a chance you ruin your already good and solid box, remember that if we are afraid of making mistakes, we will not make anything, and if you don't do anything, not even mistakes, then you can't see where you need to improve on.
I've also seen that the part where you most miss are the back corners, check out this method of construction whenever you are gonna warm up with some boxes!
One last thing I wanted to talk about is not really this challenge related, but more of a whole course related. I strongly advice you start critiquing other people's work, beyond the reasons that you get priority on your submissions if you regularly critique and that you are helping the community a ton, you will start solidifying all the concepts from previous lessons. This will make your learning experience much better because you will have a very good and solid understanding of the fundamentals, so you can apply them to tougher exercises.
You don't need to start by reviewing work from lesson 2, start by lesson 1 and start moving slowly but surely on to the other challenges and lessons.
I'm gonna mark this challenge as completed! Keep it up.
Next Steps:
Lesson 2
Hey, thanks you a lot for your time, i really appreciate it, i'll keep all the criticism in mind, i kinda forgot about line weight, this lesson took quite some time to get rewieved so i just assumed that for challenges people were not actually giving critique haha.
I had made a couple of critiques myself, but i was not sure if i were qualified at all seeing how some of the people i was critiquing made a better job at the lesson than me (and also because English ain't my main language), but now that i see how important is i'll make the extra effort and go trough some lesson 1 submissions to help the community, again thanks you a lot for taking the time to cheek some 3+ months old work, it means a lot
I'm glad you found it useful!
Starting out, you are gonna feel weird by giving other people feedback on what they did wrong, but this will change when they start responding positively and thanking you for your advice, remember that that's what they are signing on when starting this course.
Also, English is also not my main language (it's spanish) and at first you may find it difficult finding the words, but as you get more comfortable with the more technical words it get's way easier.
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
