Thank you for taking your time to look and critique my work!

I was pessimistic and about to gave up in box 100th, but some good people in Discord motivated me and I kept going. I'm really glad I did!

Again, thank you for critiquing my work. May our drawing journey be the best for us!

Good day!

Overall you've done a really good job. While there is still some irregular convergences here and there, you've grown a lot since your first box - line quality, hatching and lineweight are excellent. It's also great that you have gone through the whole challenge, quite a few people find it difficult to go through it so congrats. Remember that a little every day is better than something big just once, consistency will let you go through more strugglesome parts. Don't forget the 50/50 rule and take breaks when needed.

One thing I've noticed is that most of your boxes have more dramatic foreshortening and it would be important to also practice more subtle foreshortening so that you get to practice less dramatic views. Just include more of those boxes in your warmups.

Good luck!

Next Steps:

Continue to lesson 2 and add boxes with less dramatic foreshortening to your warmups.

Thank you for taking your time to check onto my work! Yes, it seems that I make more dramatic ones. I'll note them down and make shallow ones for warm ups then. Once again, thank you!

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
