Hi Epaindedrick, Congratulations on finishing the 250 box challenge. I'll be giving you feedback, pointing out mistakes you've made as well as thing you did good.

  • Your linework looks good. Strokes are confident and smooth. Extra lines for added lineweight overlap or stick closely to the original line. Your hatching however looks a bit rushed. These lines often are a bit curved and undershoot their bounds. Take your time even when doing the hatching and use the ghosting method.

  • Most of your boxes have a similar orientation where the viewer looks straight on the front corner. There are some boxes that deviate from this but it would be good practice to experiment even further with this. Look at this diagram of different possible orientations.

  • Another tip, the horizontal parts of the y-line will always converge to vanishing points that can be connected to each other by a line perpendicular to the vertical part of the y-line. Boxes 214, 227, 231, 234 and 246 among others don't follow this principle and look a little skewed as a result. If you look at this diagram, the center vertical line of the box will always be perpendicular to the local horizon line of the box.

Overall very nice work. Good luck with lesson 2

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
