Thanks. Tomorrow I'm going to do one rotated boxes exercise at least, what exercise should I also add to this daily exercise, I doubt it will take more than 45 minutes doing 1 or 2 of those. And I feel like I understand how to make the box face the point. https://imgur.com/a/KtAQB5Y

You could also practice exercises from Lesson 1 that you feel like you're struggling with, if you're feeling up to it. These boxes have good linework, but there is a lot of guesswork here too It's important to note the orientation of your boxes will be restricted.

Give yourself a second to think about how you're plotting your line.

And of course, continue focusing on your line wobbling. The exercises you've shown here are done correctly.

Next Steps:

Redo two more pages of rough perspective, focusing on how your lines behave according to this lesson. Continue keeping up the good work on your line wobble.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Remember; horizontal lines must run parallel to the horizon line, and verticles must run perpendicular to it. Try rotating your page based on what's comfortable for your shoulders and back, see if that helps.

Next Steps:

You are getting close! Continue to review the Rough Perspective homework exercise. Pay close attention to how your boxes are rotating against the horizon line.

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.
