Hello, I will review your lesson. (Preface: I myself am new to critiquing so I will be helping out to be of my ability)

  1. Superimposed Lines

There's little wobling in your lines and there's little to no fraying on the starting point of your lines, which is good.

  1. Ghosted Lines

You kept most of your lines for this exercise straight. Which is what was asked of you in this lesson, good work

  1. Ghosted Planes

Once again you have good straight lines and the lines are mostly properly aligned so great work.

  1. Table of Ellipses

Your ellipses fit snuggly inside the borders and are even. On top of that, I can see evidence of ghosting and of you drawing the ellipse two full times. Good Job

  1. Ellipses in Planes

I can see that you have repeated the same good habits from the tables of ellipses, running the ellipse twice, attempting to fit it snuggly with the 4 edges and they are evenly shaped.

  1. Funnels

While you fitted the ellipses snuggly and drew through them twice, I noticed that you were struggling with aligning the outer ellipses of the funnels with the central minor axis line. However, since I see evidence that you indeed understand this rule of the funnels homework, I will consider this part done. I will recommend personally that before you do the 250 Boxes to do this homework at least one more as practice, again not neccesscary just a personal recommendation. Other than that, great job on this part

  1. Plotted Perspective

I can see that you fully grasp what was asked of this piece of homework. The verticle lines are perpandicular to the horizon line and the horizontal lines are angled towards the VP's.

  1. Rough Perspective

Once again I think you fully grasped what was asked in this piece of homework. Your front and back faces are rectangular, you are working with one VP, you apply the Line Extensions correctly and I see the start and end points of the lines meaning that you used the ghosting method which is what was asked.

  1. Rotated Boxes

You folled the core steps of the exercise, you got the gaps to be tight and consistent, your boxes are actually rotating which is good, you drew through the boxes and you did draw all the boxes that was asked. I did notice however that you struggled a bit with the final corner boxes, which is normal for beginners. Other than that, I'd say this piece is done

  1. Organic Perspecitve

You used the ghosting method and you leaned particularly into more dramatic foreshortening, which is good. The only thing I will point out is that some of your boxes appear to diverge instead of converging. Remember that boxes in 3-point-perspective will always converge to a VP. Other than that I think you grasped what was asked

Overall, I'd say you understood what was asked of you and you applied that to your work. Great job, take a break, chip away at the 50% rule, and get ready for the 250 boxes because I think you're good enough to proceed

Thank you so much for the critique and corrections. The 50% rule is my main problem to be honest, but I'll try my best to follow through. I really appreciate the time you put into looking into what I drew and correcting me on my errors. Thank you for also encouraging me. I will do my absolute best to finish up Drawabox.

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.
