It may look a little dodgy in some places, and that is partially because some of my lines don't always go where I want them to go which messes up my perspective. not to say it's only because of line quality.

Congratulations on making it through!

You would greatly benefit from drawing bigger boxes and from doing it slowly. BIgger because it allows to check easier for the correct perspective and also, any error in the direction of a line gets magnified the smaller the box is. Is harder to make long straight lines, true. But it is a good skill to develop.

And the slowly part , I am saying it because it feels like you are rushing it. All your lines overshoot their ends by a mile, and the shadowed side of the box has the lines also overshoot its side!

BTW, your papers seem destroyed. You seem to be using way to much strength/preassure into your lines. But maybe is only when you are checking with the ruler after drawing the box.

Newby here. So take my advice with a grain of salt.

One of the reasons why I chose to make the boxes small was so there would be enough room for the perspective lines. drawing through is the hardest part for me because I now have to deal with all three planes when trying to draw through which is even harder when your lines dont all lead to the same VP like they should. Other than that, they are kinda crumpled because the paper is old and was moved around constantly in the month or two I was chipping away at it. Thanks for responding.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
