Hello hrt7! Here's the critique https://youtu.be/61igA2UqOLE, any questions you have feel free to ask me on discord! Here I might take some more time to answer.

Like I said on the video I want you to:

-Get an ellipse guide if you can, I mentioned where you can get one on the video (aliexpress or whatever) they are very cheap

-Step 1, draw one more simple vehicle with no detail like the first 4 you did. 

-Draw first a box on the wheel cylinder so the and then draw the cylinder so it's easier to draw, just like the cylinder in box exercise.

-Make sure you draw the minor and major axis for the wheels

-Make sure you draw through all the forms even if you can't see them in the picture

-Make sure you don't draw clear divergences on the main boxes, remember, the vehicle is just a normal box like the ones in the box challenge.

-Step 2, go back to some of the cars I mentioned on the video and draw the wheels that are missing and finish drawing the forms of the wheels, you don't have to draw texture but draw the forms.

-Step 3, draw another car from scratch

-Make sure you don't draw detail or texture, or any kind of filling of shadows

-Make sure you draw the minor and major axis for the wheels

-Make sure you draw through all the forms even if you can't see them in the picture

-Don't use krita guidelines

Great job so far and good luck! You got this, any questions like I said feel free to ask

Next Steps:

Hi!

I can't buy a template because I mainly ask my parents to buy me one (Im not old enough to get a job) and I'm mainly doing digital drawing now using the tablet they bought me. I don't want to ask them to buy me one more thing even though they've bought me a tablet and so many other things. I hope you understand :)

Which specific cars do I have to draw the wheels on and what "forms" do I have to draw? I understood you said some of the cars but I just want to be sure and don't want to miss any cars or form.

I knew the major axis and minor make a 90 degree angle but Idk why I failed to implement that. I remember being confused on the major axis even tho I knew It should make a 90 degree angle. Sorry for that

I was definately too focused on making my drawings look pretty that I forgot about the core values of drawabox lol. I like to make them pretty because then my parents and friend compliment me, Will remember this!

I'm sure you probably answered all of these questions in the video but english isn't my first language so I have trouble identifying words when someone speaks you know?

Thanks for the really detailed critique, I'll try to get back to you with the revisions within a week or so!

Yeah don't worry about asking the questions, I did mention some cars on the video to draw the wheels on, basically all the cars that have more or less correct wheels, there are some that the wheel ellipses are pretty off so you don't have to draw on top of those.

And don't apologize, making mistakes is normal , thats why you are here ^^ if you didn't make mistakes you wouldn't need to submit your drawings here for critique, you could just do the course on your own. That's why I mentioned draw the minor and major axises for the next ones, to make sure you can't ignore it.

And yeah english isn't my first language neither haha, if there are some parts you don't understand you can ask me and I can rewrite them or retake them ^^

Thanks!

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.
This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.
If you'd like to advertise here, you can do so through comicad.net
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Printer Paper

Printer Paper

Where the rest of my recommendations tend to be for specific products, this one is a little more general. It's about printer paper.

As discussed in Lesson 0, printer paper (A4 or 8.5"x11") is what we recommend. It's well suited to the kind of tools we're using, and the nature of the work we're doing (in terms of size). But a lot of students still feel driven to sketchbooks, either by a desire to feel more like an artist, or to be able to compile their work as they go through the course.

Neither is a good enough reason to use something that is going to more expensive, more complex in terms of finding the right kind for the tools we're using, more stress-inducing (in terms of not wanting to "ruin" a sketchbook - we make a lot of mistakes throughout the work in this course), and more likely to keep you from developing the habits we try to instill in our students (like rotating the page to find a comfortable angle of approach).

Whether you grab the ream of printer paper linked here, a different brand, or pick one up from a store near you - do yourself a favour and don't make things even more difficult for you. And if you want to compile your work, you can always keep it in a folder, and even have it bound into a book when you're done.

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.
