Superimposed lines: The lines waver a bit, specially for the curved lines; sometimes the lines fray at the start.

Ghosted lines: The lines are straight and accturate

Ghosted planes: Lines are clean; you filled the whole page neatly.

Ellipses in planes: Ellipses fit well; sometimes they turn into ovals; you drew through them.

Table of ellipses: Clean ellipses; they fill the table well.

Funnels: Ellipses touch the sides and are alligned;

Plotted perspective: Nothing to complain.

Rough perspective: You followed the guidelines.

Rotated boxes: Very well done.

Organic perspective: varied box sizes, spread all throughout the frame, well done.

Next Steps:

You can now move on to Lesson 2!

Thank you for your feedback!

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.
This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.

Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
