Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you for the critique!
Thanks for the critique!
Regarding leaves - for some reason I find twisting leaves harder than arrows. I will try to keep your tips in mind when moving forward.
Hello,
overall your work looks good, though in organic boxes you forgot to draw through your forms - this helps to understand 3D space better.
good luck in 250 boxes challenge, it gets boring after a while so do remember the 50% drawing is fun part from Lesson 0
Next Steps:
250 Boxes Challenge
Hello,
good job completing the lesson! most exercises are done well, here's critique:
for Arrows I see a lot of chicken scratching (confidence >> accuracy in drawabox ), also there's not much of them you could have done more - I suggest doing some confident arrows
organic ellipses/curves - I see some lacking line confidence in some of them once again, also your sausage hardly rotate in 3d space - most ellipses/curves have same degree which while possible hardly happens in real life (look up some slinky photos), I suggest to try contours exercise with varying ellipses degrees
Good luck in your art journey!
Next Steps:
focus more on exercises I mentioned in your warmups and move on to Lesson 3
Thank you so much for such a comprehensive critique! I will keep your advice in mind while continueing my drawabox journey.
I think the best ones are these (just keep in mind to prioritize smooth lines over accuracy):
Ellipses in planes - you get to practice straight lines and ellipses, though lines are short
Ghosting long lines
Ghosting curves (place 3 points randomly, then try connecting them with a smooth curve in single motion)
Hello,
here's the critique:
Arrows: edges look a bit sketchy, make sure you use ghosting & confident lines when adding extra lineweight
Contour ellipses: you prioritize hitting edges instead of confident lines - getting confident ellipse in is more important (as accuracy will improve with practice)
Contour curves: mostly OK, just ends of some of them are sketchy
Textures: OK
Dissections: OK
Intersection: OK
Organic Intersection: mostly OK, though contours once again do not look confident
I think you can move on to next lesson, though in your warm ups do keep in minds to focus on line confidence
Good luck in your art journey!
Next Steps:
Lesson 3
Hello, sure more critiques are always welcome :)
I do plan on continuing the course just taking a break from drawabox for a while (250 boxes and textures were quite tiring)
Hello,
good job completing Lesson 2, all exercises look great though not much to say, the only mistake I see is in shading on intersections - when you shade round forms like sphere and cylinder with hatching lines that kinda flattens the form (i.e. spheres look cut off) - instead try hatching like exercise suggests.
Good luck in your art journey!
Next Steps:
Lesson 3
There are a lot of options for illustration software out there, but mine has always been Adobe Photoshop. I've been using it for nearly 20 years now, ever since I started fooling around with digital art, and it has served me well into my career, both in freelancing and in studio positions. One of the biggest advantages, in my opinion, for those jumping into digital art with Photoshop now is its accessibility. Where when I was younger, it'd cost hundreds, even over a thousand dollars for a software license, younger students can now get their feet wet with industry standard software for just $10/month with their Photography Plan.
