Condition to move to next lesson when I want official critic

12:58 AM, Tuesday April 27th 2021

Hello,

I am submitting for official critic just when I finish the whole lesson?

Or I have to submit every homework inside the lesson separately?

When I want to get an official critic, do I need to complete the 250 boxes before moving to lesson 2?

Or I can do the 250 boxes while I am doing lesson 2?

Thanks in advance!

These are the official rules. You can read more here. I can let you know from experience that the official path is strictly adhered to in terms of sequence and waiting periods. You will receive instructions on whether you have passed and if so what to do next.

For those of you who are interested in receiving feedback from myself and my teaching assistants (who work under my supervision), that is an option we offer through our Patreon (starting at $5/month), but these "official critiques" are subject to a number of strict requirements.

Our students are required to start receiving their official feedback from Lesson 1, and are only allowed to move onto the next set of work once they've had the previous lesson's work marked "officially" as complete. No jumping in mid-course, and getting completion via un-official, "community" critique unfortunately does not count towards this.

All the recommendations made in the lessons (prerequisites, tools, etc.) are now hard requirements for those submitting for official critique.

All submissions for official critique must include all assigned homework for a given lesson. Some lessons have multiple sections (like Lesson 1 has Lines, Ellipses and Boxes) - all the sections must be included in the submission.

There is a 2 week waiting period between homework submissions in order to ensure that students are not being encouraged to rush through their work.

You submit all the homework for the lesson in one post. If it's recommended you do the challenge then do it before lesson 2.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer :)

Just noticed that I got an answer, sorry for the delayed response.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
