Thank you very much for your thoughtful feed back, i will do as you say now before starting the cylinder challenge. just a question do i need to re-upload the box challenge again?
I think if you re-uploaded your boxes with the proper extension lines that would be helpful! Feel free to link your new album here and I can review it along with your new boxes :) no need to make a new post imo
Hello. Tha k you very much for the reply and assistance. I did as you said and i learned even so much more about what tend to me my mistakes. I did as you suggested here https://imgur.com/a/WtWjjxi is the link where i have reuploaded everything please let me know what you think if you still can, i appreciate you taking the time to reply to me before and telling me what to do to become better. :) i hope that i may be able to help you as well if posible.
Thanks for working so diligently on these! I can see you put a lot of time in and your skills have improved quite nicely.
One thing to note, there's a mistake present in many of your boxes, which is lines extended the wrong direction. This issue is talked about here and in my experience the best way to avoid this problem is to imagine where the lines are moving in space, if they're moving off the page and towards you the viewer, than they're the wrong way.
This being said, you can see that if you extend your lines properly there's a specific type of incorrect box that shows up somewhat regularly in your boxes, even your new ones.
On this page the #3 box has this issue.
I made a quick overdraw here to show what I mean.
Another tip that I think will be quite helpful to you is to think more about the relation of the parallel lines to each other, rather than just the relation to the vp (explained in this
Next Steps:
Go on ahead to the next lesson (although I see you already have finished lesson 2 lol) I recommend you continue to practice boxes in your warmups.
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
