congrats on finishing drawabox lesson one, now on to the critique

Lines

Your superimpossed lines look good, the third page is where there seems to be fraying on both sides , overall your lines are confident . Your ghosted lines are nice and confident so are the lines of your ghosted planes. Your lines look nice and ghosted. Well planned lines. Overall nice linework , no wobbles. They follow the lesson well.

Ellipses

Your ellipses look nice and confidently drawn, I do see some overlapping a bit ot overlapping the bounds but this will get better with time. It looks like you also ghost your ellipses well. Your funnels are also really good, I see one funnel that has a gap with it and another one , they should all be touching, im nitpicking here but you should improve over time anyway. Keep ghosting and executing those ellipses with confidence.

Boxes

Plotted perspective is good but some of your boxes are distorted, sort of like the lines glicth in the third panel. Maybe you scanned this and there was a fold in the paper. Thats my deduction. The rough perspective looks good, keep in midn that the vertical lines of the rough perspective are perpendicular to the horizon and the horizontal lines are paralell to the horizon. This will help you plot your lines better.

For rotated boxes , the boxes are nice and they are tight knit and they rotate, the top is good , but I see you had a problem with the bottom. From what I can see the gaps at the bottom are not as tight as te ones at the top resulting in the distorted boxes you see there.

Use surrounding boxes as referece fr the placement of future boxes.

work one box at a time using the boxes around as referece and you will ge there

you did good for the most part in the top half. keep them tight knit, as equal a space as you can make and when in doubt the lessons are here for you to review.plot , ghost and execute lines with confidence

The organic perspective looks good and well plotted.

I willsay you can head on to the 250 box challenge remember to use these lesson one exercises as warmups

good luck :) on to the 250 box challenge and beyond

Next Steps:

You can go do the 250 box challenge.

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.

The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
