Hi Abhijitdebnath,

Congratulations on finishing the first lesson, i know it requires a lot of effort and patience to go through the exercise, you did a great job.

Overall impression and action points:

line: You have a very nice confident line, it is smooth and already show a sense of depth, less pressure for lines further away

ellipses: they are smooth, the main improvement i see here is for the bigger ellipses.

  • the bigger ellipses are sometimes floating

  • try to draw more from the shoulder or move your page to draw from a more comfortable position

  • try to limit maybe to 2 times drawing through the ellipse otherwise it gets a bit messy

boxes: line work on boxes are good, be aware when you sense that you are rushing

  • main improvement is to review your ghosted dots before committing to the plane, to make sure lines that need to be perpendicular to the horizon are correct.

  • review the boxes that are further away from the vanishing point and compare them to the one that are closer.

  • review the box from the bottom, there is a tendency to draw a triangle at the bottom.

Overall excellent job and keep up the good work in the next challenge!

Below you can find my notes, hopefully you find this critique useful.

Notes:

  • funnels

    • nicely drawn through ellipses, maybe limit to twice as it otherwise gets a bit messy.

    • nicely touching the top, bottom and side

    • with more practice they will get more packed

    • on some of the funnels the last ellipse falls short (try to ghost a bit bigger)

    • also in the middle funnel there is some floating ellipses

Table of ellipses

- the bigger the circles get the more floating there appears to be.

- (not sure) maybe try to draw more from the shoulder

- (or) rotate or move the page in order to have a more comfortable position to work from

Plotted perspective

- i like your line work, the lines further back have a lesser weight which gives a nice 3d feel. Watch out not to make the Y in the middle to thick and only emphasize the outer lines of the box.

- some of your lines are not perpendicular to the horizon, maybe you could have reviewed your dots before committing to the line.

Rough perspective

- the farther away from the vanishing point, i see similar convergence used as the boxes closer to the vanishing point.

- try to review your dots, ghost your dot and put another dot if you feel you need to refine your accuracy.

- line work is good, confident lines

- most of the time you keep the horizontal lines in line with the horizon.

line - ghosting

- very smooth confident lines

Organic perspective

- line work is confident, however i also sense some lines are more rushed than in your previous exercises

- i noticed when you draw a box from the bottom you tend to go for almost a triangle, where you are giving one of the two angles to much convergence.

- for the boxes that are off, review similar boxes on your plotted perspective, in the exercise extend your lines on the box to see where you went wrong.

Rotated boxes

- great job, again line work looks appealing nice confident, not much overshooting, also shadow gives a nice effect.

- You have a nice rotation on the first boxes, afterwards however moving up / down you draw maybe to close in the same vanishing point. left right, the movement of the rotation is good, however if the width of the plane is smaller the rotation would come out better.

Again great job!

Next Steps:

thanks for you critic i learn lot from it...

so, should i move to the 250 box challenge now?

Yes you can start with the 250 box challenge.

keeping in mind the pointers given above.

Good luck!

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.
