It looks like your round-on-round intersections are coming along decently, but when intersecting cylinders and cones with boxes, you do still run into some issues as I've marked out here. Drawing the wrong side of the intersection appears to come up a few times.

There are also a few instructions from the exercise that you seem to have missed:

While I don't think these specifically resulted in the issues I marked onto your page, but it does show that you may not have as thoroughly revisited those instructions as you should have prior to doing the page. All in all you're making your way there, but I am going to assign you a few more pages of form intersections to do. Continue to take your time, review the instructions, and always look at which side of the form is facing the viewer, in order to better understand which side of the intersection should be drawn.

Next Steps:

Please submit 3 additional pages of form intersections.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Alright Sensai I have returned once again. I think i'm getting better, but jeez are these mind bending.

These are indeed moving in the right direction. I think there's a lot of room for growth, but that'll simply be a matter of practice. I think what's best here is for me to mark the lesson as complete, and to recommend that you periodically go back to the draw-overs and feedback I did previously to kind of reinforce the points I was making there. It's already sinking in fairly well, but when it comes to things like how specifically you design the S curves for round-on-round intersections can still be improved, but giving yourself a little more space to process the information and then coming back to it should be a little more effective rather than just hammering away at it.

So! With that, you've completed the Drawabox course. Congratulations!

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
