hello, I'll be critiquing your 250 box challenge today

first of all, congratulations! you have crossed drawabox's first major hurdle, and succeeded where many have failed.

now, onto the critique:

1)you have shown tremendous improvement in you boxes

2) I see that one of the main things you seemed to struggle with was making lines subtly converge. until 195 boxes in, most of the converging lines were basically parallel

3) in the beginning you made a few errors-- you drew some boxes in one point/ two point perspective, and didn't converge some of the lines in the right direction (or was confused because of not drawing some boxes in three point perspective.) obviously, you fixed this problem, but it may have slightly hindered your progress in the beginning

4) I like how you experimented with boxes of different sizes. in the future when you're doing warm-ups, however, I'd like to challenge you to experiment a little bit more with the width of your boxes- like drawing boxes that are very thin.

overall, I think you did I good job. I'd also recommend going over the new 250 box challenge rules to get some pointers

Next Steps:

Take a break. when you're ready, move on to Lesson 2.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
