Phew, i am honestly glad it's over XD

I know my flaws, i know the lines that should converge and by how much, i know my line quality isn't the ideal.

I can say excuses here and there for very... bad boxes of mine, but that's the point of this whole thing after all!

In short

Glad it's over! XD

Thank you for the review

I think you've shown a good deal of improvement over the course of the challenge. There are still common mistakes I'm seeing (like the blue lines on this box on the second last page are diverging as they move farther back). Also, I noticed that your line extensions aren't always lining up properly with the lines you've drawn - like in that linked box, your green ones visibly seem to follow a different path. Remember that these line extensions are meant to help you analyze what you've drawn. In order to achieve they, they need to properly represent an extension of the lines you've drawn.

Also worth mentioning, your last box there seems to try to make your lines run parallel to one another in 2D space (rather than having some far, far off vanishing point). Always think about there being a vanishing point somewhere, and keep in mind that your lines are converging towards it.

Next Steps:

Move onto lesson 2.

I agree! I am currently focusing on my basics more, thanks for the advice :)

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
