Alright, I survived. Took me about a month to finish this challenge. Had a small burnout around no. 90 til 130 because the amount of real life responsibilities started to skyrocket suddenly lol. Forgot to number the first 15 boxes.

As with all my Draw A Box homeworks, I'm working digitally even though I know it's very much recommended that I do all this traditionally. I'm emulating the traditional environment as much as possible though.

I myself noticed that my lines definitely got straighter and more accurate, and my convergences generally became more accurate as well, but there's definitely room for improvement.

I hope to receive some new insights from a completetly fresh pair of eyes =]

Hello, im Natt. and here is my feedback for you.

First thing, i think you have already know it - that you have made this homework digitaly.

Because of drawing digitaly, everthing you draw seems to be almost perfect. That can be a big disadvantage for you though.

Because your boxes look very perfect plus you didn't organize them in order from low number to go up, it can make me (or maybe even you) harder to figure it out how much you improvement is.

About mistakes, i don't see many mistake from your homework though, acording to the box challenge feedback guide. Or maybe just because of my lack of critique experience. But DO see that you are worth it to pass this challenge.

I would like you to recomment you to practice more in a traditional way and practice more advanced exercise like to cut boxes apart, twist them, try to learn how to manipulate them in forms that you like them to be. You will start to learn stuffs like that from now on, start with the next lesson.

I appriciate your hard working to do this exercise and to give feed back to others too. I really am.

keep working, thank you

Next Steps:

the next destination is lesson 2.

have a good time with drawing!

Thank you for your feedback Natt! I have my reasons for sticking with digital even though I know going traditional is recommended for this course haha :)

I'll definitely practice cutting & twisting boxes, thanks for the recommendation!

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
