If the printer paper you have isn't bigger then there's nothing much to do, I recommend grabbing a pack of A4 sheets for the rest of drawabox if you can afford it, they're pretty cheap. But for the moment go with what you have. If the paper is smaller try to do less boxes per page, like 2 or 3 or something like that
did you want another page?
Oh sorry, I missed the link on your reply.
You're now applying the line extensions correctly, good job!
First of all make sure you are extending the lines all the way through like I mentioned on the first critique. Example.
Second thing is that you are still having divergences. Like I said lines of boxes in 3p perspective can only converge, they can only get away from the viewer. To fix this follow this step by step: https://imgur.com/3zoQA65.
Then apply it to all of your new boxes.
As a last thing, careful with your linework, you are starting to get a bit scratchy. When drawing a line always start with its starting and ending dots, then ghost the line, and then you can add lineweight to the line if you want, but just once. Never repeat a line no matter how off it is, it will just make the drawing messier.
So before moving on I want you to do another 2 pages. Do 3 boxes per page filling the page as much as you can, and apply what you saw on the tutorial I posted on all of those. When extending your lines make sure they go all the way through, it doesn't matter if they collide with other boxes.
Next Steps:
2 more pages with 3 boxes each.
i regret to inform i got rather frustrated near the end. the scratchyness is also a resul of the shrapie's tendancy to bleed out sometimes, as well as being tired. possibly not the best mindset to do any excorsises at all either but the drive to get it done got to me
also when i was doing boxes before i wasnt considering the vantage point very much and its probably why i had trouble here, as my angling was my biggest worry. just as well, i think ill have to practice boxes every day regardless on top of other excorsises. also not helped by things taking so long on many factors. one of the last ones had a few lines done with a ruler moreso to get an idea on angling but i stopped midway. the very last one with the 4 might be the only good one. in general it takes a fair amount of repitition to get something right or to understand something in my case. weee learning disabillities.
anyway, apologies for the novel, and the grumpyness? heres some pages.
for some i didnt do the vantage points due to dislike of them, others youll see are done in the direction they were drawn in.
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
