For the first 50, your lines are clean overall. However, I did see some wobbling throughout the set. Your convergences also show good accuracy, though I did see a few lines pair off and converge towards two vanishing points, like in box 7, box 22, and box 47.

For the next 50, your lines show improvement. While some wobbling is still present, most instances are notably less dramatic. Your convergences also show improvement in accuracy, though there are a few more instances of lines pairing off like in box 57, box 73, and box 94.

For the last 150, your lines continue to improve, with wobbling further reduced throughout the set. Since it was present throughout the challenge, I do recommend reviewing the information in this section. However, your improvement shows that your technique is coming along well.

Your convergences also continue to improve, though there are still instances of lines pairing off, like in box 110, box 173, and box 217. While they were less frequent towards the end, this diagram may be helpful to you. In these boxes, the inner lines (green and orange) diverge instead of converging at the vanishing point. Keeping in mind the angles of neighboring lines can help when planning the box's construction.

As an aside, boxes 51 and 53 have some lines extended in the wrong direction. It's not a major issue since it didn't happen often, but I want to point it out for future reference.

All said, you did very well. I'm going to mark this challenge as complete.

Next Steps:

Continue on to Lesson 2, and add rotated boxes with line extensions in the style of the last 150 to your warm-up exercise pool.

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

The boxes 51 and 53 were a blunder and at that point I was still wrapping my head around line convergences. As I was going through the challenge I was considering other lines more and more. At the start I would just draw the 3 faces and wasn't really considering the back vertex at all, which just made me kinda guess which lead to some funky convergences. I think at about the 150ish box I started to look at the whole picture which made the lines generally converge more consistently. The line work did feel like it was improving as the challenge went on (felt more confident doing the lines, which also made me try to do more dramatic foreshortening). Anyways thanks for the feedback!

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff is a ubiquitous name in art instruction - not just through his work on the Draftsmen podcast and his other collaborations with Proko, but in his own right. He's been teaching anatomy, gesture, and perspective for decades, and a number of my own friends have taken his classes at the Laguna College of Art and Design (back around 2010), and had only good things to say about him. Not just as an instructor, but as a wonderful person as well.

Many of you will be familiar with his extremely cheap 1994 Perspective Drawing lectures, but here he kicks it up to a whole new level.

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.
