Hi there! I've decided to consider some community feedback and critique on what to focus on before getting to the 250 box challenge.
I do want to note that part of the lines section (Superimposed Lines + Ghosted Lines + one half of Ghosted Planes W/ Ellipses) were done using a ballpoint pen before I switched over to a Sharpie Ultra Fine for the rest of the exercises.
Let me know what you think, thanks again for the critique!
Homework 1: It seems you messed up alot with the beginning with drawing the line with a few of these. You need to make sure that every time you start with the line its at the same exact position as the first line, after that you can focus on making the lines straighter at the end
Homework 2: you did well here alot of the mistakes here are very minimal
Homework 3/5: With the plains themselves again you did a good job, there are some over extensions but overall good work, The circles are also good but some are a bit off, make sure you do ghosting with them as much as you do with the lines so you have a good understanding of where the line needs to go
Homework 4: Good work overall but there are some minor overlapps which can be solved using ghosting.
Homework 6: You should make sure that the circus touch eachother when drawing them without overlapping and make sure they don't hit the boarders of the lines on top and bottom but overall good work
Homework 7: Good work you did exactly what the assigment told you to do.
Homework 8: The lines are a little wobbly but you did good, make sure that you always have straight lines so your angles aren't messed up.
Homework 9: This part is a little bit wonky, the boxes should be mirroring each side but the left side seems to go out alot more then the right, this can be solved by just practicing more by adding this to your warm ups.
Homework 10: The biggest flaw with this is that you're not pushing the perspective far enough it should go from extreme close ups to middles to farouts but it seems like you sorta had it slowly go out and in. Try rewatching the video on this to understand the homework a bit more
Next Steps:
You overall should add homeworks 9 10 1 as priority warmups along with the rest of the other homeworks. While you do your warmups move on to the 250 box challenge.
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.
