250 Box Challenge
5:38 PM, Friday August 28th 2020
I can't believe I finished it!! Around box 125 I started to feel like it would never end. I really appreciate any feedback, thank you.
First off, congrats on making 250 boxes! You can be proud for the rest of your life. The boxes look correct, but few things stand out to me:
Allow yourself to make mistakes! Sometimes (not often) when your line misses, you erase that and do another one. I even saw that you crossed out a few of boxes. Please don't do that in next lessons, confident skill is made upon foundation of confident faliure.
Sometimes the x-ray point on the box (the one that you don't see without x-ray vision) misses the perspective and ends up looking a little bit wonky. Nothing to worry about, no box is perfect box, but pick your spot for an edge dot carefully in regards to overall perspective of the box.
Overall amazing job, I love the hatching, I see you put a lot of effort into that. :)
Next Steps:
Congratulations on finishing lesson the box challenge! Your next step is lesson 2
As I marked this as complete, you are now qualified to critique lesson 1 and box challenge submissions.
-Doing critiques is a way of learning and solidifying concepts. I can atest to that after having done hundreds of critiques. There are a lot of concepts that I did not understand, and thanks to critiquing I started understanding them. Which made me learn a lot more through the course.
-Another thing is that as the number of current submissions is super high and if you do some critiques, those would be less submissions I'd have to critique before reaching your next submissions, so you'd get your critiques faster. Uncomfortable also implemented a system that makes your submissions appear higher in the queue if you do critiques, so that would improve your chances even more.
It's totally optional of course, I won't force anyone to give critiques. But me and the other people who are critiquing would be super grateful if you gave it a shot.
Good luck on lesson 2, and keep up the good work!
NOTE: here's a quick guide on critiquing lesson 1 submissions.
and here's another on critiquing box challenge submissions.
There are a few people that feel hesitant to critique because they feel they aren't ready to, so hopefully it'll help you in case you are one of those people.
Thank you for your response and critique! I will try to do some more critiques myself. I only recently got feedback for lesson 1 and I was hesitant to do critiques before I was officially "passed" on the lesson. Now I'll try to do some for lesson 1 and the boxes.
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
