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.

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.
This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

Clip Studio Paint

Clip Studio Paint

I've used a ton of different drawing and painting software over the course of my career, so I can say with confidence that what CSP offers is impressive.

The software is designed around drawing and painting, and it really shows. The brush engine is extremely dynamic, capturing a wide variety of stroke types and effects, making it easy to emulate traditional media if that's what you're after, while still being able to create very polished digital-style graphics.

It also provides a variety of features to make your life easier on a wide variety of projects - from speech bubble and framing tools for comics, to perspective and ellipse guides, to bringing in 3D assets to streamline the production process, to multi-page files, and more. At every turn, it puts the control in your hands, so you can focus on what it is you want to create.

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.
