Hi~ So, the box section is the only one I’ve yet to critique, so I’ll look at that real quick.

Advice #1: don’t grind. The requirement is 1 page of the rotated boxes exercise, not 2. (Disregard this if someone on Discord told you to redo it- they shouldn’t have though; it’s fine.) Advice #2: don’t redo lines. If a line is wrong, it’s wrong. Rather than putting more ink in that area, just leave it as-is, and spend more time ghosting the next one.

Other than that this looks good. I will also recommend being more patient with your hatching, though. Either properly ghost each line, or don’t hatch. Sloppy hatching has the opposite effect- rather than making it easier to tell what’s what, it makes a mess of things,

Anyway, congrats on finishing, and GL on the challenge!

Yeah I've notice that I really need more patient not only with hatching but also spend more time on ghosting xD

Thanks for the advice! :D

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
