Sorry for the weird orientation
Hi there Wizard_Hatt! Congratulations on finishing this challenge! I'm Gady, I'll be reviewing your work, and I can already tell you: that's some fine progress you made there! But let's get to it.
I can tell you had some problems at the beginning with extending lines in the wrong direction, but it seems like you started to notice and corrected it.
Until box #80 or so you dealt almost with parallel and divergent lines. This issue improved from then on, although I noticed you still find it hard to have all sets converge. Have a look at this diagram to get a feel of what the angles of lines should be with respect to the others: https://i.imgur.com/8PqQLE0.png Also this method can help you to nail the problematic inner corner https://imgur.com/a/DHlA3Jh
Good for you hatching visible faces in almost all pages! One thing: don't rush it, take each line with proper care. This will add up to your mileage without flattening your 3D Boxes.
You certainly took care of lineweight. This has led to some line repetition and wobbliness here and there, so I suggest you practice doing this more subtly in the future.
You did quite a lot of varying orientation, scale and rotation, that's very good. However, there's still a lot of different boxes you could draw. Here's a diagram: https://imgur.com/Kqg6uMX
Next Steps:
All in all, it's obvious you made a lot of progress, and I think you are ready to move on with Lesson 2. Good luck!
Thanks for the critique. I had previously looked at that diagram for converging lines previously but didn't know what to think of it before I did the boxes but after I was getting into the later boxes, I realized that all the lines share of relationship and that I started to understand that diagram a bit later. The inner corner trick is very insightful, I'll be sure to try it out. I'll also be sure to be more patient on the hatching in the future and I'll be sure to practice superimposed lines a bit more.
Thanks for the critique once again.
I'm glad you found it useful! Yeah, you'll have time to improve those things as you continue, don't worry.
This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
