Hello! I'll take over the critique as I told you on the discord.

First important thing here is that you are repeating lines and that your lines are a bit wobbly. I want to make sure first of all that you can approach them confidently and without repeating them, so I'll ask you to draw one box. Make it pretty big on the page so you have space to think.

Remember, no repeating lines and focusing on confidence. Good luck!

Next Steps:

1 big box no repeating lines and drawing them confidently

Okay it may have taken over six hours but here it is. I still am not 100 percent sure this is going to work but after spending an hour trying to get this right, this is what I have: https://imgur.com/a/C0zZMzl

Don't worry about the time. Most important thing is that you do your best on every line, if it takes 2 weeks to finish an assignment or whatever, then it takes 2 weeks. No problem.

Now into your exercises you're making good progress, good job! Lines are also converging even if at pairs at least, so that's another good thing.

Next thing I wanted to talk about is that most of your boxes on the last revisions you did were extreme perspective. So I want you to do one page of boxes of extreme perspective (with vanishing points on the page or almost on the page, and one page of boxes on shallow perspective, with the vps far away from the page, like you did on the last box.

Make sure you focus on drawing the lines cleanly like you did just now and good luck!

Next Steps:

-1 page of boxes with shallow foreshortening

-1 page of boxes with extreme foreshortening

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

After over an hour and after 23 attempts for the first one and five for the second one, I'm pretty shot and hurting with my brain. I really hope the converging lines shows: https://imgur.com/a/D0wDQtn

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.
