I feel more confident in my revisions, but there's definitely a lot of room to improve for sure. Also I appreciate the motivational words. I suppose I could be a little less hard on myself. The ellipses certainly bring out the worst in me, not gonna lie. Still not quite happy with it but more comfortable doing it now. Thanks for the effort you put into your critique. Found it incredibly helpful.

(Also, sorry my pen seemed to be dying out in the ellipses exercise)

Wow, these look really good. Really amped up on the confidence! Keep at it. If you lose confidence again, step back, and regain it.

Yeah, the ellipses are a pain to ghost sometimes. So it's understandable that it brings out the worst in you. (To be honest, I got irritated on ellipses too.) But it looks like you let loose and smooth on these ellipses, so great improvement!

Glad I was able to help out!

Next Steps:

Rough Perspective (at least 2 frame)

Rotated Boxes (or at least half of it)

The more I realized it, I should have requested revisions on these too. So, just to be sure you've got a decent idea on boxes (before moving onto the 250 Box Challenge), I'd like you to do at least a revision on each.

If you feel rushed to complete these, that's okay. Just slow down a bit when you do catch yourself rushing. Although we're aiming to be efficient at drawing, we need to take learning very delicately. So if you have the time, do take as much as needed to tackle these spatial challenges. Good luck!

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Finally did it. I think I did better on the rotated boxes this time, but I still hate it xD

Pen really made a big difference in comfort (got it when I did the rotated box revision)

Wowie, ok.

Really good improvement on both of these.

For Rough Perspective, your lines are still a bit curved. But don't sweat it, you got better with it compared to last time. I'm sure if you keep at it your lines will get straighter. Nice work.

For Rotated Boxes, really nice job! It's clear you put more effort putting your boxes closer (and in turn it became easier to put the lines down). Lines are way straighter this time around. Nice effort!

Next Steps:

There's nothing much else I could recommend, so I'd say you can move onto the 250 Box Challenge.

Keep in mind though that it's a lot trickier to determine where the Vanishing Points (for each individual box) are in this challenge than it is in any of these exercises.

Do expect to have some blunders, especially the first, 50? boxes. You'll get better as you observe your mistakes.

If anything, doing the box exercises as warm-ups might as help as well. Do your best!

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
