Hello! Here's the critique

Like I said in the video tell me if you have any questions or doubts!

You can do the optional challenges if you want after this, but this is the end of the main lessons, so congratulations on finishing drawabox!

Next Steps:

The end!

Hey, thanks for taking the time to look at my work! I will be honest, I was feeling a little exhausted toward the end of this lesson despite working on my 50% and maybe I should've taken some time off. Despite that though, I still feel that I've learned something so thank you for that! I do have one question though, you said I could DM you for critique. What does that mean exactly? Also, are you okay with that? I don't want to overwhelm you. There are a lot of people still waiting to be critiqued out there and lately it's been feeling like that number keeps on growing.

Yeah it's fine, and don't worry if you ask me for something if I got other stuff to do I'll just answer a bit later. Same for the queue, I clean it eventually, it basically goes on spurts.

I do it like this as well so the queue doesn't get cleared extremely fast and I don't compete with official critique lol. Also that way there are more chances for other people to take over the crits so I end up taking less work overall.

And about the critique I just meant for your personal art if you wanted

Honestly, I don't know what to say. Thank you! Do you normally critique people's personal art? I'm asking just out of curiosity.

Printer Paper

Printer Paper

Where the rest of my recommendations tend to be for specific products, this one is a little more general. It's about printer paper.

As discussed in Lesson 0, printer paper (A4 or 8.5"x11") is what we recommend. It's well suited to the kind of tools we're using, and the nature of the work we're doing (in terms of size). But a lot of students still feel driven to sketchbooks, either by a desire to feel more like an artist, or to be able to compile their work as they go through the course.

Neither is a good enough reason to use something that is going to more expensive, more complex in terms of finding the right kind for the tools we're using, more stress-inducing (in terms of not wanting to "ruin" a sketchbook - we make a lot of mistakes throughout the work in this course), and more likely to keep you from developing the habits we try to instill in our students (like rotating the page to find a comfortable angle of approach).

Whether you grab the ream of printer paper linked here, a different brand, or pick one up from a store near you - do yourself a favour and don't make things even more difficult for you. And if you want to compile your work, you can always keep it in a folder, and even have it bound into a book when you're done.
