Here's my lesson for critique! I realized halfway through that I had been aligning the minor axis of my wheel's ellipses to the wrong vanishing point. Overall though, I'm happy with the last few vehicles ,and I got much faster at proportion measurements and overall construction by the last few drawings. Thank you in advance! https://imgur.com/a/MWOUhsb (oops. here's the link. my brain is fried from all these vehicles).

Sounds great, thanks so much. I did definitely notice that my initial boxes were off in the beginning, but seeing them through to the end despite the initial error was rewarding. Thanks again, and Ill have my lesson 7 up soon!

Thanks so much for your feedback. I noticed the sketchiness/ vagueness somewhat while I drew (and even more so the next day when I looked back on them), and the camels definitely felt like a turning point. My initial vagueness may have come from the fact that I have been starting to do digital painting lately (maybe a looser painting mentality is leaking into my line-drawing?), or because I've had less time to sketch and practice and am getting sloppy. I'm not sure, but I will definitely try and move away from that for future lessons. I'll be careful not to skip steps, and be more intentional and neat going forwards. Thanks again!

Ok, gotcha, thanks for the feedback! I realize now that I've been switching back and forth between the "container" approach and the "stacking" approach, without much thought as to why. Anyway, I'll continue stacking forms moving forwards, and hold off on the detail until my constructions are solidly established. Thanks again.

Hi! Thanks so much for your critique on the last lesson. Here's some creepy bugs for ya!

Thanks for your feedback! Ill keep all of this in mind as I start on lesson 4. Ill work with my contour lines at form intersections and leaf shape outlines. Also, its so true that my reference photos are getting stiff! I tend to get really caught up in details/ replicating instead of constructing when drawing from reference. Anyway, thanks again!

Hi there! Heres my work for lesson 3.

Thank you for the excellent feedback. Ive done pages of organic forms w/ contour curves and 2 pages of intersections. I wasnt fully grasping the alignment of curves/ ellipses before, and I definitely didnt quite get the organic intersections, especially the limited use of cast shadows and thickened lines. Also, apologies for attempting such complex organic forms, after you clearly said in the video DONT hahah (I missed this the first time). Hopefully Ive gotten the hang of things a little better now!

Hi again! I worked on my 250 box challenge in conjunction with this lesson, hope thats alright. https://imgur.com/a/YWvMK
My 250 box challenge is up as well. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks so much for all your feedback during these lessons, and for drawabox as a whole. I actually just ordered Scott Robertsons book as a reward for finishing lesson 8! Anyway, Ill keep your feedback about vanishing points in mind as I go forwards (they definitely feel like a crutch that adds stiffness to my work when I overuse them/ have them directly on the page). Also, I will definitely be back for the design-oriented lessons! Good luck moving forwards with the website rebuild, and again, thank you for these awesome lessons!!
