Your lines are quite good, no fraying on both ends, the only issues I see are some arching lines in the ghosted planes excersise, and a bit of wobbling in the rough perspective and the first page of the organic perspective, make sure you draw from the shoulder and aim for confidence over accuracy.

In the tables of ellipses excersise you haven't drawn through your ellipses, and they are a bit woobly but you seem to have figured it out as they look fine on the rest of the ellipses homework.

You boxes are good overall, however you have forgotten to add lineweight wherever boxes overlap in the organic perspective excersise.

Next Steps:

If you want to I don't think it would be a bad idea to draw through you ellipses in the tables of ellipses excersise. I would also recommend you add the ghosted lines excersise in your warm-up routine to improve your line cofidence. Overall though I think you are good to go.

You can move on to the 250 boxes challenge.

Thank you so much for taking the time and reviewing my homework!

I will work on the parts you suggested, and include ghosted lines in my warm-up.

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.
