Your lines look confident and accurrate, no wobbling, arching or fraying on both ends. One small thing, you haven't done any curves in the superimposed lines exercise.

Your ellipses are drawn confidently and drawn through. You have a tiny bit of overlapping here and there on the ellipse tables. On the funnels the minor axis seems a little bit off on the top right funnel.

Your boxes are drawn through where they need to. Overall I don't see any mistakes on the boxes section

(I wrote this critique based on Elodin's guide for Lesson 1)

I think you can move on to Lesson 2

Hello, thank you for taking the time to write this critique. You are correct about one of my funnels, I hadn't measured when I was creating the guidelines and my line was not centered between the curves. Again, thank you for the critique

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.

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.

Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.

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.
