I thought it would take much more time, but i got bored in the lockdown and finished it in a couple of weeks! I've even got new fineliners in the meantime. I will appreciate any critique! Have a nice day everyone, take care in the quarantine!

Hi!

You have done and excellent job on these and it is clear to me that you have a firm understanding of perspective and how you are visualizing the boxes in space is very accurate. There are several instances where you have estimated your vanishing point dead on which I'm sure was a satisfying feeling. Very nice work!

There are 2 critiques I have for you:

  1. There are a few spots where you have tried to give a line more weight and you went too heavy and thick. I'm sure these are just the errors you made as you practice, just like playing incorrect notes as you learn scales on an instrument. Mistakes are great learning experiences and I've seen a few places where they have happened so just be aware of this.

  2. There were a few times you made errors in your line placement and tried to redraw it. I've gotten critiqued for doing this myself by other students so my suggestion to you is to just leave the line as it is when you do make an error and learn from it when you extend out your lines when you realize how far off you were.

Next Steps:

Good job on sticking with it and completing the assignment. I know it is not easy becuase I am still working on it myself. I think you are ready to move on to the next class, but I would recommend drawing maybe 5 to 10 boxes as a warm up exercise before starting a drawing assignment just to keep your skill you learned from this exercise fresh. You will lose some of your skills if you don't keep practicing consistently, so keep up the good work and keep drawing! I

Thank you very much for that critique, it's very helpful! I will follow your advice and keep practising drawing boxes as a warm up.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

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.
