Hey FPMAZIERO!

Thank you for your feedback! You're right, I made a big mistake using ruler at this exercise, it was a lack of attention the instructions, maybe I hurried too much.

About the other point, the same thing, I need to take my time, as you said. At least the beginning of the line must be more accurate. So, I did these steps that you appointed! on the link below

You're welcome! Mistakes happen, and we're all here to learn right?

So, I took a look at your revisions:

  • Superimposed Lines look really good, you did a great job!

  • On the rough perspective first page, your boxes were "falling" a bit to the left, the lines that should be parallel with the horizon are not parallel. But on the second page you got it better!

I'm marking it as complete now! Good luck moving forward!

Next Steps:

Proceed to the 250 box challenge, as it will help you deal with perspective issues. Remember to keep doing the lesson 1 exercises as quick warmups (5-15min) before drawing.

Also, taking your time to review other peoples homework will help you get a better understanding of the concepts you learn. And it will help the community too!

Just wanted to comment that Julio's rotated boxes look really good. While the overall shape/ evenness of the piece isn't perfect (probably due to not adding the guide boxes before hand, as you mentioned) it looks, to me, like they otherwise nailed the point of this exercise - the boxes are packed tight, aligned well, and the "invisible" lines show the underlying construction and perspective really well - plus the lines are all generally smooth and confident.

Oh, also the hatching is nice. Even though it's optional, I find the hatching is helpful with orienting myself in this VERY difficult exercise. The way it is used here does not at all hide the "invisible" lines or mask any errors (few as there are). Nicely done

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.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. 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.
