Hi there, Filurfelix!

I ask you to do 50 more boxes and try to improve in areas I mention below.

I needed to see 3 things in your work

  • Drawing through your forms

  • Checking our convergences

  • Line weight

You did draw through all of your forms. That's good!

But other 2 are the problem here.

My main concern with your work is convergence. There are quite a few boxes where you didn't extend your checking lines in right direction. Examples are 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 66, 67. Though I didn't try to find all of incorrect ones. Your last (200-250 for sure) boxes do not have such a problem.

Other problem is line weight. Things like too much line weight, weight in internal lines, excessive corrections/drawing over incorrect line. Examples: 16, 19, 20, 25, 235, 239, 247, 250.

And minor suggestion don't lean so much on dramatic foreshortening . In actual drawings you'll need shallow more often (by it's definition).

Please check orginal challenge notes that I pinned above.

Next Steps:

50 boxes with correct line extension and lineweight use

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Great critique btw, keep it up!

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
