Wew what an adventure that was.

Fairly happy with how it went, I feel like I am at the point where I can consistently make boxes that look ok, with lines converging roughly in the same area.

Still struggling with 'flat' and 'skinny' boxes where the sides are of dramatically different length, plus the whole process still feels quite mechanical, in terms of marking the vanishing point with a dot each time. (Not using a ruler or anything though)

I would hope that somehow some perspective wisdom has filtered through to my subconscious, but I still wouldn't feel comfortable freehanding a box from eye.

Should I be able to draw a box line by line without marking points by now is that not the point of the lesson?

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.

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.
