Great work your line work has improved significantly a minor critique is that your hatching doesn’t fully go from one side to the other every-time. However that’s a very minor issue compared to the entirety of work here. You have a clear sense direction for each box. I like that you did the optional hatching and on a few you of the boxes you added line weight as well both to show that your willing to put that extra work and you did a good job on both. Your line extension also converge for 75% of the boxes you definitely improved at this, as the exercise went on. You understood the exercise well and improved even more from the lesson prior in all regards.

What to practice as warmups or just overall.

  • You used a lot of cube shaped boxes they look good however it would be a good idea to use skinnier boxes to ensure proficiency in all aspects. I’m sure you’ll do good with these two though

  • Experiment more with foreshortening like shown here. Specifically having the boxes have a even more rapid convergence. https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/1/foreshortening

All and all you did really good I’m sure this was alotta work and if you actually did that in one day like the dates suggest. That’s pretty maddening. You should try some 50% rule while you wait for a second person to review the content here. I’ll say it one more time good work. ????.

Next Steps:

Practice the 50% rule, then proceed to the second lesson.

i actually was working in a vacuum for 2 months but i have the feeling i am going to hit a plateau soon. to avoid this the best thing is to get my work critiqued and doing some critiques on my own i guess.

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
