Hi, I think everything looks really good, however I noticed that some of the boxes on your organic perspective pages look really distorted. This can happen when the vanishing points are too close together. I suggest revisiting that part of the lesson. One thing that helped me was ploting out the points first to make sure they look right by placing a dot, then using the ghosting method to draw the line. If you watch the video by ScyllaStew at the bottom of that page I believe she demonstrates that method. It worked well for me (you don't have to watch the whole 3 hour video though ;) ).
I'd really like to see you do another page of organic perspective before moving on to 250 boxes and lesson 2 before I mark the lesson as complete.
Next Steps:
Please do 1 more page of organic perspective.
Hello, first I'd like to thank you for the critique! I definitely felt like the organic perspective gave me a lot of trouble. I didn't get a chance to see your advice before starting the 250 box challenge but I was barely a 1/4 of the way through before going back to the organic perspective exercise and I think it actually helped me grasp the concept much easier. I took your advice and used the dots method for drawing the box and think I improved a lot.
Let me know what you think and thank you again!
Hey, no problem I think I did the same thing when I finished lesson 1. I didn't check back for a while haha. No worries! These look good I'll mark it as complete!
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
