Looks good! The correction lines are all going in the correct direction, too- well done! Try to make the boxes a little bigger next time, though. Don’t worry if there’s enough space for your correction lines- there is.

Next Steps:

So, next, I’d like to see the same thing, but with shallow foreshortening. Mind you, in not saying no foreshortening. The lines should still be converging, even at a glance, just to a lesser extent. If you think back to the image I posted, you’re now drawing a box similar to the one on the right.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

I added the shallow foreshortening page here. Thanks for taking all this time to guide me

Looks good! Though, again, be careful with the extension lines. They’re going away from the viewer, meaning into the page. A good way to check if they’re correct is to see if they form a Y shape. The ones in box 1, 2, and 5 do. The ones in box 3, and 4 do not. Go through that link I posted again, if you’re still confused about it.

Next Steps:

Now that your boxes are correct, I’d like to see 25 more of them, of random foreshortening. Take your time with each one, and don’t forget to reinforce the silhouette and hatch one of the front faces.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hi! I just finished the 25 boxes you asked for. I'm kinda proud of theses ones, definitely feels the improvements. Some of them still have extend lines trouble, but at least I realized it. What do you think?

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
