I have no critique as i haven't gotten to lesson 2 yet but you need to do the 250 box challenge first before lesson 2 as it helps with line confidence and understanding the 3d space. If you have done that you need to post it as it may help people critiquing your work what you still need help with. Also as the other person said don't goof around too much as it won't help you learn any concrete skills and wont help you develop that confidence you need for your future lessons (50 percent rule.)

I know you've taken this to learn how to draw but if your not serious about it you won't be able to take in the info that will be needed in future lessons that could use things that you've learned from past lessons. I would also say to redo it and make sure to do the 250 box challenge after you finish lesson 1 again. Learn well, Stay serious, Stay Committed. Good Luck!!

Next Steps:

Read lesson 0 again and reread and redo lesson 1. Also don't forget about the 250 box challenge after.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

What is this 50% rule people are so religioous about? I put time and effort into the hard and fun parts. and the boring parts in the beginning i might have interpreted my way. Boobs are one form of blob. and ive done what i was instructed to do.

I need to have some fun in the meanwhile. I know my arrows are shit. i was a bit tired from last lesson. But im decently happy with textures and forwards.

It's alright to have fun when drawing but try not to sketch on your homework. The 50 percent rule isn't something that we just worship and praise its something we do so we can still have fun drawing what we want but also do the lessons without any extra doodles or sketches so we can stay focused. I'm not very good at explaining it so go back and read what it's about. https://drawabox.com/lesson/0/2/50percent and also try to re read the rest of lesson 0 as well. The stuff in their can really help us understand what drawabox is about.

oh. hehe.

I see what the fuzz is about then. I have not drawn much at all. I have quite severe problems with motivation so ive been focusing on doing the lessons. Which can often take over a month to complete.

I have not had a single tought off drawing anything else and what motivation i do get is to finish another task and see some improvement. I rarely do things for the sake of endogenous motivation and want.

I have many hours of drawing jack shit infront of me if im to catch up with that rule.

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.

The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
