If you have a google account, you can upload your video to youtube. Just make sure you set it to "unlisted" in the upload settings and then drop the link as a reply.

Alternatively, you can use google drive or dropbox. Just make sure you send a "shareable" link and not a download link.

Leave it as a reply to this comment and I will go over your revisions then.

Also, in case you have not seen it yet. I recommend that you watch this video where I explain and demonstrate how I draw boxes.

If after watching that video your understanding of how to draw boxes somehow changes, you can redo your revisions and submit them as well.

Here is the Video:

After watching your video I change the way I was doing things a bit, I was originally free handing the original y vector and after I started plotting them.

These are the final 10 boxes....hopefully.

Thank You so much for critiquing my work though, just letting you know that I really appreciate what you have to say.

It looks like you have a better understanding of how to draw your boxes now. I can see that your sets of lines are starting to converge towards their shared vanishing points. The accuracy of your convergences will improve over time given practice.

Box 3 is a good example of what you should be aiming for. You can see with your red and green corrections that even though the sets of lines may appear perfectly parallel at first, in your corrections they still converge slightly towards their shared vanishing points. This is a good improvement.

From watching your video I noticed a couple things that you will want to consider in your future warm ups. The first being how you rotate your page as you are constructing your box. You are doing a good job of placing your points where you think your next line should go but I think you should try to spend a bit of time looking at that point you place on the page and consider how that line will affect your other sets of lines.

You can see at this stage of my construction in the video I sent, I haven't actually made any lines yet. I have instead, plotted all three sets of lines that make up the box and examined those convergences from all directions.

Then when I believe I have planned to the best of my ability I begin to execute my marks. Which leads to my second point.

When you were constructing the back corner of your box you did not appear to be abiding by the ghosting method. Remember that when you are working through this course you should employ the ghosting method for every mark you make. You can see in the video that for most of my lines (I still forget to ghost once in a while like any human) I do multiple passes using the ghosting method before putting my pen to the page. This step like every other should not be skipped.

All that being said, it appears that you have a better understanding of how to construct your boxes and you can now continue to lesson 2!

Thank you very much for taking the time to film yourself drawing for me.

Next Steps:

Continue to lesson 2!

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

Thank You so much for taking the time to critique my work.

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 I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
