Looks to me like you nailed every lesson. Great job! The only think i can really comment on is I had trouble with the rotated boxes as well. I think yours turned out better than mine but the advice I got I can pass on to you.

I was told that the first boxes a bit too far which caused you to not have a lot of room left for rotation when you got to the boxes along the outer edge. A lot the small sized of the boxes can make this exercise more difficult.

Hope that makes sense or helps.

Great job!

When giving people feedback, be sure to use the "mark as complete" or "request revisions" tools so they can be given some kind of next steps - without that, the student has no way of actually getting their completion badge for the lesson. It actually doesn't count as a critique in the system either, and so their submission will still appear in the list as not having received feedback.

Also, in general you should try not to compare the person's work with your own - I understand that people often do that out of a general sense of anxiety and a lack of confidence. One thing that can help with doing so is following Elodin's critique guides for Lesson 1 and the 250 Box Challenge. For these early lessons, you can look at them a little like a checklist, and quickly go through the exercises to identify anywhere the student may have misunderstood something.

Sorry for not marking it complete, and thank you for directing me to Elodin's critique guides for Lesson 1 and the 250 Box Challenge. I read the guide and will review it again before I make any other reviews.

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply :). Seems like I did better than I expected ^^´´. Yea those smaller ranges of rotation made the exercise very difficutl, but thanks for the tip :).

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.
