Hello and congrats on completing lesson one. I'll be looking at your submission today. Starting with your superimposed lines these are generally looking pretty good. You are keeping a clearly defined starting point on these with minimal wavering except on very long lines and curves which is perfectly normal. Your ghosted lines and planes turned out very. You are doing a great job using the ghosting method to achieve very smooth confident linework overall and while your accuracy isn't quite there yet that will get better with practice. Nice job.

Your table of ellipses is looking very good. You are doing a good job drawing through your ellipses and shooting for a smooth ellipse shape overall. This is carried over very nicely into your ellipses in planes. While your accuracy isn't quite there yet I like that you are really shooting for a smooth and consistent ellipse shapes and your accuracy will grow and grow with practice. You are having some slight issues with ellipses tilting off the minor axis with your ellipses in funnels. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/notaligned I'm not seeing this as a major problem but it's still something you probably should start thinking about more conciously now. Your ellipses are off to a very nice start so keep up your practice with them.

Plotted perspective looks great nothing to mention here. Your rough perspective boxes turned out very well. You did a great job extending the lines back on your boxes to check your work. As you can see some of your perspective estimations were a bit off but that will get better with practice. You did a very good job keeping up with using smooth confident linework here as this is something I typically see a lot of students struggle with on this exercise. There is one thing you can think about when drawing boxes in a one point perspective exercise like this is that all of your horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon line and all verticals should be straight up and down. I'm noticing some slanting on occassion and understanding that can really help with box constructions.

The rotated box exercise turned out pretty good! You did a great job drawing through your boxes and keeping your gaps narrow and consistent and your line quality here is excellent. You did however run into a pretty common issue here where you aren't actually rotating your boxes enough but are instead simply drawing them moving back into perspective. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/notrotating Finally, your organic perspective exercise turned out pretty well. It's great to see you are keeping up with the ghosting method and are really getting some nice confident linework overall. I'm seeing some issues here and there with your box constructions though and you will be getting a lot of practice witht his during the 250 box challenge.

This was an excellent submission. You did a great job understanding most of the concepts these lessons were trying to teach and really kept up with the ghosting method and had very solid linework throughout which is something a lot of students tend to struggle with. I'm going to mark this as a complete and good luck with the 250 box challenge. Keep up the good work!

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.

The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
