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.

Framed Ink

Framed Ink

I'd been drawing as a hobby for a solid 10 years at least before I finally had the concept of composition explained to me by a friend.

Unlike the spatial reasoning we delve into here, where it's all about understanding the relationships between things in three dimensions, composition is all about understanding what you're drawing as it exists in two dimensions. It's about the silhouettes that are used to represent objects, without concern for what those objects are. It's all just shapes, how those shapes balance against one another, and how their arrangement encourages the viewer's eye to follow a specific path. When it comes to illustration, composition is extremely important, and coming to understand it fundamentally changed how I approached my own work.

Marcos Mateu-Mestre's Framed Ink is among the best books out there on explaining composition, and how to think through the way in which you lay out your work.

Illustration is, at its core, storytelling, and understanding composition will arm you with the tools you'll need to tell stories that occur across a span of time, within the confines of a single frame.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
