I applied some level of detail to all the plant constructions, but a few are less detailed than others.

Hello, I'll be critiquing your lesson 3 submission today.

organic arrows- I feel like these are a little messy, and many of them do not seem to be changing perspective. however, your lines are neat and solid

leaves- solid, with good constructional lines.

branches- some lines overshoot the ellipse mark, making it look janky; this is a common beginner error. otherwise, solid

construction- overall, you did a good job with your constructions. the constructional shapes are clear, and most of the textures are good. however, I felt that the texture on the 6 drawing (the cactus) looked a bit rushed and in parts didn't wrap around the shape. however, the main focus is construction, and you did well in that department.

an additional note- according to the instructions, less than half of the constructional drawings should be done from the demos, meaning at most 3 out of 5 drawings done with the demo. however, 4 out of 8 drawings are done with the demo for your lesson 3 submission. Remember to read the instructions more carefully in the future.

Overall, not bad, but I feel that your organic arrows are rushed and you need one more constructional drawing to finish the requirements of the homework (less than half the drawings from the demo.)

Next Steps:

  • 1 page organic arrows. remember to add perspective. refer to the lesson 2 page if you're confused

  • 1 additional constructional drawing of a plant of your choosing.

If you do these I think you're good.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hi, thank you for the critique. I've completed both revisions: the organic arrows and constructional drawing. I focused more on the construction of the latter, rather than the details. Kindly let me know what you think.

Yes, the organic arrows look much better. Your construction n the second image is also very clear and strong.

Next Steps:

Move on to Lesson 4. Good Luck!

Proko's Drawing Basics

Drawabox isn't the be-all, end-all of drawing fundamental education. Our approach prioritizes certain concepts over others, and while we believe it do so for good reasons, ultimately it doesn't appeal to everyone. If Drawabox simply doesn't work for you, give Proko's Drawing Basics course a try - at the very least, you'll probably find it to be a hell of a lot more fun.

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.
