Can I use a paper of size 17.3 x 23.8 for official critique?

5:44 AM, Saturday September 21st 2024

I have a ringed notebook with 17.3 x 23.8 sized printer paper which is smaller than a A4 size and bigger than A5 size papers. I'm planning to start the drawabox courses again with official critique.

Can I use this notebook for the homework session? And is this acceptable for official critique?

While it isn't disallowed, the bigger question is why you might be considering going against the specific recommendations that are laid out here in Lesson 0.

I didn't have any specific reason. I got couple of these notebook laying around and thought of using it, that's it.

I probably wouldn't disregard specific recommendations on that basis then.

Thank you for replying, I will stick with the recommendations for the homework session. And will use those notebook for 50% rule.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
