Heyho,

first: congratulations on drawing the 250 boxes

All in all your lines seems pretty confident, although there are some mistakes here and there. In most cases its just some overshooting, what isn’t such a problem. But I also saw some wobbly lines and some that bend. Keep that in mind when you go forward and concentrate on doing straight confident lines, while using your shoulder.

I see a proper improvement of your line convergence after box 85+, that continues until the end.

What is a bit sad is, that you barely draw boxes with strong foreshortening (https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/1/foreshortening) and very different scale (e.g. two very long and one very short axis, or two very shot axes and one very long). In my opinion such boxes help to get a better understanding of the line convergence and how lines interact. I would recommend drawing one, maybe 2 of such boxes as a warm up when you go forward with lesson 2.

All in all seems pretty decent. So have fun with the next lesson :D

Next Steps:

Hit lesson 2 :D

Maybe add some very different boxes with strong foreshortening to your warm up when go forward.

This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete. In order for the student to receive their completion badge, this critique will need 2 agreements from other members of the community.

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.
