Hello qriousk! Overall you've had a lot of progress and your boxes look way better!
By the end of the challenge most of the boxes outer liens converge and you are doing a good job drawing the lines confidently and without repeating them.
There are a few boxes whose lines get a bit too close to parallel or start diverging a little bit though! So try to be mindful of that, like the box 240. But in general I think you got the gist of it.
The main issue that reminds is that the inner corner still gives you trouble, which is pretty much the accumulation of all your previous mistakes.
Something that can help with the inner corner is starting to think about the relationship of all the lines in a set like shown here .
Another thing that might help you think differently when drawing boxes is changing the order of drawing a box, so try it out to see if it helps you to get the relationships between lines better, like shown here.
So like I said you've done a good job! So i'll mark this as complete, feel free to move to lesson 2, make sure you ask any questions you don't understand and good luck on lesson 2.
Next Steps:
Lesson 2
Thank you for the critique Elodin! The links and recommendations were very helpful. I do have one question about the "lines in a set" diagram. What does the last tip mean, where it says "lines will never diverge toward the VP"? Does that mean that they will always converge towards that point?
In perspective, things closer to us seem bigger and things farther away seem smaller, which means that parallel lines that go away from the viewer ALWAYS converge in a point named vanishing point, that's the most important thing in perspective so it's important you understand it fully.
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
