You've made a lot of good improvement here. You are extending your lines correctly and your boxes are bigger and more confidently drawn too. I read your comment about being unable to get more appropriate paper. Just do your best not to draw tiny on the paper going forward so that you can get the most out of the lessons.

So one thing you appear to still be doing is making your sets of lines parallel with each other instead of converging towards their shared vanishing points. If you look at this image from the lesson you can see that the sets of lines that make up Uncomfortable's box are all converging towards their shared vanishing points, they are not staying parallel on the page. I have a video here where you can see how I drew my own boxes for the 250 Box Challenge. You can also watch this video by Uncomfortable to help you as well.

I am going to assign you ten more boxes before you move on. You're close, but we need to make sure we sort this out before you continue. Be sure to take your time and think through all of your marks.

Next Steps:

Ten additional boxes.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

This looks good! I think you are getting it now. Your sets of lines are starting to converge more consistently towards their shared vanishing points.

I will pass you onto lesson 2.

Good luck!

Next Steps:

Continue to lesson 2!

Thank you!

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.

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff is a ubiquitous name in art instruction - not just through his work on the Draftsmen podcast and his other collaborations with Proko, but in his own right. He's been teaching anatomy, gesture, and perspective for decades, and a number of my own friends have taken his classes at the Laguna College of Art and Design (back around 2010), and had only good things to say about him. Not just as an instructor, but as a wonderful person as well.

Many of you will be familiar with his extremely cheap 1994 Perspective Drawing lectures, but here he kicks it up to a whole new level.
