Hi there, I'll be handling your box challenge critique.

Congratulations on completing the box challenge, it's definitely a lot more work than most people expect. Not only does it help deepen your understanding of important concepts but it shows your desire to learn as well. Be proud of what you've accomplished and that desire you've shown. That being said I'll try to keep this critique fairly brief so you can get working on the next steps as soon as possible.

Things you did well:

• You're doing a great job of experimenting with orientations, proportions and rates of foreshortening. Experimenting is an important habit to build when learning any new skill, it helps form a more well rounded understanding. I hope you'll continue to display and nurture this habit in the future.

Things you can work on:

• There's a tiny bit of hestitation in your lines still which is causing some tiny amounts of wobbling to occur. You're close to drawing confidently you likely just to push yourself the tiny bit further to stop stressing about accuracy so much.

• It's not a requirement of the challenge but I recommend practicing applying hatching more in your future work. It's a useful tool to learn and the only way to improve is to practice.

• There are times when your lines converge in pairs or you attempt to keep your lines a bit too parallel which results in them diverging. This is an example of lines converging in pairs, and this shows the relation between each line in a set and their respective vanishing point. The inner pair of lines will be quite similar unless the box gets quite long and the outer pair can vary a lot depending on the location of the vanishing point. Move it further away and the lines become closer to parallel while moving it closer increases the rate of foreshortening.

The key things we want to remember from this exercise are that our lines should always converge as a set not in pairs, never diverge from the vanishing point and due to perspective they won't be completely parallel.

While I've noted a few things you can work on in the critique above, you've completed quite the daunting challenge. While it may seem like your critique was more negative than positive your boxes are looking quite solid. You just need to get over that tiny bit of remaining hesitation holding your lines back (you may be asked for revisisons in the future if it continues to be a problem). Hatching is optional but a good thing to practice (it's also free lines practice). As for lines being overly parallel or converging in pairs, pretty much everyone suffers from this to an extent so it's not overly concerning, just keep it in mind when you practice in the future.

That being said I'll be marking your submission as complete and move you on to lesson 2.

Keep practicing previous exercises and boxes as warm ups, and good luck.
