Hello!

First of all, thanks to everyone here! This is exactly what I need. :)

I have followed the instructions and everything has been done as many times as the instructions have said, 1 or 2 times.

i also do a 10-15 min warm up before I start

And I am a selftaught watercolor painter. So I had some experience with perspective already.

Anyhu, so here it is.

thanks again :)

Hello! I'll try my best to give you some valuable feedback.

Your lines are really really good, I don't see any problems with them at all.

Your ellipses are also pretty good, they stay within bounds and in the tables of ellipses they don't overlap with the other ones.

You seem to superimpose some of your lines while drawing boxes which you should try to do less. Your organic perspective homework has minor perspective problems.

I think you understand the lessons pretty well, but it looks like you never finished the rotated boxes homework, there should be 12 more boxes overall, 4 rotated boxes on each of the corners, like this https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/5f4fef59.jpg

Once you do that you should be good to go to the 250 box challenge.

Next Steps:

Rotated boxes

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

And it was also good that you made my aware if the superimpised lines. I think I didnt quite understand the difference but now that you pointed it out I am more aware and not doing my likes in a super imposed manner :)

thanks again :)

The revision for the rotated boxes look good, I can tell that you worked on the lines a bit and the boxes look cleaner as a result. I think you're good to move on to the boxes!

Next Steps:

250 boxes

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.
