Sorry about the comments written on some of them! I wasn’t originally planning on submitting anything, so I was just writing to myself. Also just an FYI, my hands are always very shaky.

Thank you so much!

Hello there I call myself *QUAT **** but you can call me **Quat* and I am going to critique your submission, which by the way thanks for submitting :)

First of all:

**Lines

I see that your lines are somewhat wobbly, it is okay as it is only the beginning and with more practice your lines will get better :) also at the superimposed lines exercise you have some fraying on both sides of some lines but you are okay to go since they are not common.

**Ellipses

You drew through all your Ellipses and in the funnels exercise you aligned the Ellipses with the minor axis really well most of the time which is good job:) I see that in the table of Ellipses exercise your Ellipses are quite messy and they are going outside of their panels and into other Ellipses I think that it is because you drew them without a concrete goal https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/12/nogoal and you should focus on drawing them in a way were they are not in one another and not far from one another

**boxes

Your boxes are well done and as far as I can see you did everything correctly congratulations :)

Next Steps:

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hi Quat!

Thank you so much for your critique. It’s really helpful and I appreciate it a lot!

It was definitely a great idea to retry the table of ellipses! There’s still lots of room for improvement, but I think I did a lot better this time around. I’m glad I tried it again!

Great job I will mark your submission as complete and I hope to critique your future submissions :)

Next Steps:

Next you should start with the 250 boxes challenge, don't forget the 50:50 rule as it is very easy to get burnt-out

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
