Hi, Rubydune! Congrats on completing the challenge, I'll be reviewing your submission.
Line quality -
Throughout the challenge, crisp & confident lines. Your lineweight is also good, nice to see that it's pretty subtle. Hatching is also fairly neat. Overall, great job on your linework!
Box construction -
Convergences have improved quite a bit. In the beginning your lines were mainly parallel to each other, but now I see that you've managed to fix that. I recommend for you to experiment with boxes that have shallow and dramatic foreshortening, to further develop your spatial perspective. Here is a resource to further develop your skills. (https://i.imgur.com/8PqQLE0.png) This image mainly focuses on the relationships between all the angles, and how you should utilize them in constructing your boxes.
Overall, you made good improvements. You've grasped the concept of convergence well, at the beginning you were mainly creating parallel lines. After you've recovered from this box overload you should continue to make boxes in your warmup! I'll mark this as complete, and if you haven't already, feel free to start lesson 2.
Next Steps:
Lesson 2!
Now that I've marked your lesson complete, feel free to critique other lesson 1 and 250 box challenge submissions. (It will be greatly appreciated!)
If you are unsure how to critique, check out this link. (https://pastebin.com/u/elodab) It features DaB lesson 1, 2 and 250 challenge critique guides :^)
Thank you so much for your critique Brianna. It is extremely useful and appreciated. I will definitely take your advice and practice different degrees of foreshortening, from shallow to dramatic, when practicing boxes during warmup routines.
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
