Hi Hackacentipede, I Just viewed your work and would like to give you feedback:

First of all nice work, Im seeing confident lines. Another thing I see is you consistently improve on the second page of any exercise (Ghosted lines/planes,elipses, rough perspective, organic perspective), that shows how much you learn from the page you just completed, well done.

The rest of this feedback is presented in bullet point style:

-the superimposed lines are consistently started where they ought to, nice! It fans out but that's no biggie.

-Ghosted lines are looking good. Nice confident lines throughout this exercise and the planes as wel, you seem to have noted where you went of a bit. Don't be too hard on yourself, but I think it's good you are noting possible improvements.

-funnel elipses can contract more toward the center.

  • your rotated boxes can rotate a bit more when I look at the back of them, but this is a difficult exercise and what you have done is perfectly acceptable.

So in conclusion, you have obviously read the exercises well before completing them, and you are consistently improving on your work. So I'm going to mark this as complete.

Next Steps:

The next step is to go to the 250 box challenge, good luck!

Thank you so much for taking the time to crit my work! I absolutely felt that I was improving on page 2 of these, so it's awesome to have that confirmed. Most of my dramatically critical notes were more lighthearted in my head than me being mean to myself, but I will def try to continue being nice to myself in the future~

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.

Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.
