While giving detailed critiques on request would undermine that which keeps Drawabox viable as a business, I do understand that having to wait a month and longer to get feedback can be difficult. Remember that there are other options - the discord chat server, for instance.

Also, you're welcome to post your work again if you haven't received a response in a while. Critiquing other students helps bump your submission's position by basically keeping it higher on the list for longer - the number of critiques you do works against the post's age, so if your post is a month old, it's going to require a lot more critiques to get it back up. If however you just post it again (which again, is totally fine if it's been around for a couple weeks), it should stay higher on the list for longer and increase your chances at getting feedback.

Anyway, since you have done loads of critiques of other students, I figure I might as well let you know that you should have no issues moving onto Lesson 2. Your boxes here are extremely well done, and you're clearly thinking quite a bit about how each line aligns to converge with its parallel counterparts, and your use of line weight helps imbue your boxes with a strong sense of solidity. You're doing very well, so you should absolutely feel free to move onto lesson 2.

Hello Sir,

Sorry to disturb you again. But I'm her to say Thank You for giving your precious time for my issue. I do understand and respect the rules or terms of the Drawabox, I surely don't have any objections on that. I just asked for help as I didn't know the other ways of gaining attention of the community members on the submission. But now I'll definitely try the options suggested by you as Discord server and Reposting the Submission for 250 Box Challenge.

And it's my great pleasure to have my submission seen by you, thanks again for this. Having your few lines of feedback on my work is really a great and inspiring thing for me.

Because of this, I can move on to the next Lesson instead of waiting so long for the detailed critique for 250 Box Challenge from the community. It's really gonna help me a lot.

Thank you so much.

PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
