Finally complete the Lesson 1 all exercise. Its feels great. I started the DRAW A BOX at 21/5/2021 but i was doing it all day as habit so Lesson 1 completed after 18 days because I left someday as holiday and occasions. My Goal is to draw all days. And I see lots of progression after this 1st lesson. THANK YOU to DRAW BOX COMMUNITY for make this happens.

Congrats on completing the lesson!

Your first two sections are fine, lines are confident and smooth, with little to no fraying while you drew through your ellipses and got them snugly fit within the rows.

One piece of advice, avoid drawing ellipses inside of ellipses. it doesn't have much meaning when it comes to learning.

The most problematic section by far is the last, so we are talking about your boxes here.

First major flaw: convergence you are not aware of those vanishing points that's why in the last exercise some of the boxes look broken.

Second major flaw: size this is for the rotated boxes exercise.

WORKING SMALL IS VERY UNHELPFUL HERE, it would have been easier for you to work though this exercise with bigger boxes since your lines would have had more breathing space instead of overlapping each other messily.

Third flaw: checking this is something that you should be aware of for the 250 boxes challenge too.

Use a pencil of a different colour to check your convergence, it's visually confusing to use the same pen to do the check up.

Next Steps:

Overall you did a pretty good job, you will have plenty of opportunities to work on your boxes through the 250 boxes challenge!

Thank You for Feedback and Suggestions.

Its very helpful to me for find and see the mistakes in perspective. Now In 250 Box challenge I will look for convergent of perspective and also Check it with Different color pencil So, Don't get confuse.

After That I Tackle to rotating box with Bigger size of Box and also avoid to draw elipses inside elipses.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
