hello, i'll be critiquing your homework

superimposed lines look slightly wobbly at first as your brain tried to steer your pen back on track, but wobbly lines don't seem to appear much later so it's fine, just be sure keep that in mind to keep your lines straight and confident

your ghosted lines look pretty good, there is a clear confidence boost of the lines here, i can see a bit of the other exercises poking through the page below, it's not as bad here, but be sure to take pictures of your homework on a blank backdrop as it could get confusing

the ghosted planes are pretty good, no major problems with the lines and ellipses look solid and confident aswell as you prioritized confidence over accuracy, which is good, one thing i do want to point out is that the vast majority of your planes are rectangular or square, you should have tried out some crazier quadrilaterals for your planes, not a mistake but something recommended in the example homework https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/15/example, and something you should try to do in your warm-ups from now on

tables of ellipses are solid, the ellipses are confident, snugly arranged, you've got a variety of different degrees and you've drawn through all them 2 full times, similar for the funnels

plotted perspective is done carefully, you understood how each line goes to it's vanishing point, there are some vertical lines that are a bit slanted in the back, but those are an accumulation of all the small millimeter errors you make with the ruler, so it's fine, just keep it in mind as you move on, one thing i want to add on is that if you're going to do the hatching lines, treat each line as a you would every other line: prepare, ghost and execute confidently, dont just rush them

the rough perspective is pretty good, confident lines, rectangular front and back faces, extending the lines correctly and they fall pretty close to the vp. one thing i want to point out it that i see you got comfortable with the 6 boxes layout near the end, while not a mistake, you definitely should vary them up, making some closer, some further away, bigger, smaller etc. this is crucial as you move onto the 250 boxes challenge as you cant just draw 250 of the same box

the rotated box challenge is decent, you drew every box even the extreme corners, some of the extreme angles aren't rotating though https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/rotatedboxes/notrotating

as for the organic perspective, the boxes have shallow convergence, which makes them feel like they belong to the same scene, some of the sets of parallel lines diverge as they move away from the viewer but dont worry, proper convergence is something that comes with mileage as you continue doing these exercises in your warm-ups and move onto the 250 boxes challenge

overall, this is a solid submission and i think you understand the concepts well enough to continue, good work and good luck on the 250 box challenge, it'll help you with perspective immensely

Next Steps:

  • add these exercises to your warm-up routine

  • move onto the 250 box challenge

Thanks for the feedback. I will try my best to improve.

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.

The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
