LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
Watch Daniel draw boxes improvisationally without relying on preliminary scaffolding. You will see how to use mental ellipses to guide the flaps and angles of open boxes. Daniel demonstrates the importance of drawing through the form to find hidden corners. You will also learn why confident line work is crucial for hard surface objects. Hesitant and scratchy lines make your drawing look messy. Committing to your lines makes the boxes look solid and believable even if they are not perfectly accurate. Daniel also adds simple hatching to give the boxes volume and create an interesting composition.

Drawing boxes freehand becomes much easier once you internalize the mechanics of perspective and ellipses.
You can move past stiff scaffolding by visualizing the hidden corners and committing to your lines with confidence. Even if a mark is slightly off, a bold stroke looks better than a shaky one when you are constructing hard surfaces.
Just following along while being mindful about the carried horizon. And then also relying heavily on ellipses.
I feel those added squares from before more clutters upp everything. While going straight for the ellipses makes for far more direct and simple guides that can be looked at and felt when working/failing, and then being adjusted accordingly. (provided one knows about the minor and major axis and their relations to rotational/center axis).
It's going to be really good also getting to that part in this course as has been hinted at, really exploring and working on the ellipses and putting them to use 🙂.
Decided to take a coffee break and fill a page from imagination 💭 Tried best to imagine horizon and VPs and ended up lightly putting down marks to keep track of everything. This series has been informative!
been working at these box flaps all week so happy I finally feel like I’m turning the corner. I gave up on the proportion though. Not ready for the ellipses
How is it possible that just a few boxes with flaps can make want to draw more?
Its either the clear achievable goal, or you REALLY like boxes! The Cult of the Cube has many devotees, you just might be one of them.
