hello, I'll be critiquing your 250 box challenge today

first of all, congratulations! you have crossed drawabox's first major hurdle, and succeeded where many have failed.

now, onto the critique:

1)you have shown tremendous improvement in you boxes

2) I see that one of the main things you seemed to struggle with was making lines subtly converge. until 195 boxes in, most of the converging lines were basically parallel

3) in the beginning you made a few errors-- you drew some boxes in one point/ two point perspective, and didn't converge some of the lines in the right direction (or was confused because of not drawing some boxes in three point perspective.) obviously, you fixed this problem, but it may have slightly hindered your progress in the beginning

4) I like how you experimented with boxes of different sizes. in the future when you're doing warm-ups, however, I'd like to challenge you to experiment a little bit more with the width of your boxes- like drawing boxes that are very thin.

overall, I think you did I good job. I'd also recommend going over the new 250 box challenge rules to get some pointers

Next Steps:

Take a break. when you're ready, move on to Lesson 2.

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.

The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
