Hello.




Don't forget to look at the funny and… interesting comic by Uncomfy one more time.


Strengths

• Perspective: In order to bring the focus of the analysis closer to sets of convergent lines, the Y Method provides a more structured approach, and the line extensions themselves reinforced the matter of convergence. The corner that is closest to the viewer is represented by the central point of the Y, which is where all the arms link, in the conventional way that we build our boxes using the Y Method.

• Construction Lines: This requires you to spend the greater part of your time in the stages of preparation and planning, and then confidently and unhesitatingly completing each mark.


Weaknesses

• Line Extensions: Your extensions are really short. They're supposed to extend far enough to where you can see all four points converge as one. The purpose of these tools is to assist us in analyzing the behavior of those lines as they become farther away, including whether they converge or diverge.

• Convergence: Most of the edges you drew look parallel to each other. Make sure the lines converge as precisely and as continuously as possible by concentrating on the sets of lines. Pay attention to the way your marks overlap, and whenever you are deciding how to reorient a specific line, always consider all four edges of that set - the ones you have already drawn, the one you are drawing right now, and the ones you haven't drawn yet. As mentioned here, "Do not draw your boxes with lines that are actually parallel on the page."

• Experimentation of Boxes: Most of them look pretty similar to each other. You should explore varying the size, orientation, and foreshortening of the boxes. Maintaining this behavior gives us advantages and advances our spatial reasoning. Engage with the lengths and angles of the Y's arms to change its orientation and proportions. Additionally, you altered the foreshortening rates for this set, going from dramatic (with rapid convergence) to shallow (with moderate convergence).

• Hatching: Sometimes you put your hatching lines on one of the back faces of your boxes (#145-150). Hatching represents the face of the box that's towards the viewer.

• Improvement: You didn't seem to learn or improve as you went along…


Summary

I'd like to request some revisions.


I want you to draw 5 or 6 more boxes. Prove to me that you can understand…

  • Making your line extensions long enough until they reach a vanishing point (or off of the page)

  • Converging all four (4) edges properly

  • A balance of both dramatic foreshortening & shallow foreshortening

Show me that you have a good enough grasp of the material to continue working beyond this challenge.




Hang in there for me. Good luck!
