FINALLY!! After almost 3 years I finished this challenge! :D I didn't use hatching for the first some because it was optional, but later I decided to use them. Pleeeease tell me I don't have to redo it again. The progress is insane, I think. :)
Thank you!!
Hello!
That's awesome that it's been 3 years about this. And the truth is that you can see a lot of progress.
Above all, I can always mention a few things to highlight:
Lines:
Your lines look stable and without distinguishable errors in them.
Regarding line weight and shading, both well drawn and applied in place.
I like that neither looks rushed drawn.
Box construction:
It's quite helpful if you've drawn your boxes in various orientations, so you won't be surprised when you're asked to draw them in various positions in later lessons.
I see you practiced boxes with deep and shallow foreshortening.
While both are useful in future boxes you will want to stick more to shallow foreshortening.
This is because shallow foreshortening represents objects of common scale and not very close to the viewport, which we will draw in the next few lessons.
As in this image:
This is a mistake to avoid.
It usually helps to think of the relationship of each line as a set to its vanishing point.

As you will see, the inner pair of lines will have a somewhat similar orientation, while the outer pair will vary more depending on the position of the vanishing point.
If the vanishing point is far away, the lines will be more parallel; and if it is close, the lines will converge faster due to their foreshortening.
Conclusion:
I'll leave you a minimum of homework to rectify just that odd convergence in pairs.
And take the opportunity to draw the boxes with shallow foreshortening.
Next Steps:
Keep in mind what is mentioned in the critique.
Hi!
Thank you for your critique!
Here is the homework, the plus 15 boxes with shallow foreshortening and hopefully better convergence.
I have to say, shallow foreshortening is hard. :) Nevertheless, I tried my best, even in box 11, where I got confused with all the things I wanted to correct.
Thank you again, hope I can step forward in the lessons. :)
I'm so glad you were able to complete the assignment!
And, you're right. The shallow foreshortening is difficult at first.
But you will be able to notice an improvement in the solidity of your boxes.
Regarding convergence, the pair issue is still there but it is diminishing,
By being aware of it and correcting it when you can, you'll be fine...
I will mark your task as complete. Good luck in what's ahead!
Thank you!!
This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. 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.
I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
