Three boxes for rapid convergence
Set close up and few
Seven for shallow convergence
Vanishing far from view
Nine for failed lines doomed never to collide
One for the dark lord
On his dark throne
In the land of drawabox
Where the boxes lie.
One box to rule them all
One box to find them
One box to bring them all
And in the darkness grind them
In the land of drawabox
Where the boxes lie.
I'm finally free
I know this may be a "empty compliment", but that was truely poetic! (I read the poem in Spawn's voice). But anyway, onto the real critique:
Congrats on completing what i call the 'White Whale' of Drawabox! Fewer people get to this point, so be proud of yourself. You've maintained confident lines, extending lines the right direction (AWAY from the viewer), applied the correct lineweight, hatched in the right manner and a decent mix between shallow and dramatic forshortening.
I do notice that many of the boxes seem too big, and that's fine, but with too much it causes overlapping in extending lines and can sometimes be confusing. it can be useful to start putting Just my suggestion.
Your convergences are inconsistent at the beginning
And on some cases it affects the corner line negatively. This is due to your lack of placing vanishing points. The upside is that i do notice that towards the end your convergences do improve.
My recommendation is to add a vanishing point, inside of the page, or if i it's outside of the page using a separate page at the side of your main page so that you can 'ghost' towards them and get your convergences more accurately. For a bonus, here's a guide on making your convengences better. https://imgur.com/3zoQA65
Overall a great submission, with some minor mistakes. You can add to your warm up pool the additional exercises!
Next Steps:
Lesson 2. Go!
Thank you for the critique! :D
Marshall Vandruff is a ubiquitous name in art instruction - not just through his work on the Draftsmen podcast and his other collaborations with Proko, but in his own right. He's been teaching anatomy, gesture, and perspective for decades, and a number of my own friends have taken his classes at the Laguna College of Art and Design (back around 2010), and had only good things to say about him. Not just as an instructor, but as a wonderful person as well.
Many of you will be familiar with his extremely cheap 1994 Perspective Drawing lectures, but here he kicks it up to a whole new level.
