Sorry, the pictures are not in order.

This took a lot of time. I'm happy it's over. Honestly don't know if it's any good or if i learned the right things but this is what i have to show.

If anything I have finally learned how to draw straight lines.

Congrats on finishing the challenge! I think you've improved a lot!

In the future please try to upload your work in chronological order, it makes it easier to critique. Thanks!

Good job drawing boxes with a variety of angles and shapes. You could draw your boxes a little bigger.

This ordering can help you improve your inner corner: https://imgur.com/FGdtVwm and this diagram https://i.imgur.com/8PqQLE0.png It looks like you are starting to get the hang of it anyway.

Make sure you aren't drawing any parallel lines. Also, if the VP is very far away make sure that none of the lines converge too quickly. Take into consideration all the lines you've placed and the VP they're approaching before you place another one down.

Lastly, you're hatching lines look great! Keep it up

Next Steps:

Lesson 2 next! Good luck!

This exercise can now be a part of your regular warmups.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to reply!

I took a break from drawabox over the summer but i'm starting to get into it again.

I think this might just give me the push I need.

Thank you!

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.
