    thank you so much.. you've been a big help ..

    Thank you thank you thank you...you are a saviour..this is such a detailed criticism..exactly what i was looking for..thank you for taking out your valuable time to write in such detail..

    I did the redrawing of the organic intersections .. https://imgur.com/a/TTAvilc

    this time it got more visibly confusing ..hope i did better..will i be needing another correction ?

    no you can practice whatever you like..can be outside from this course as well..

    my suggestion would be to first get lesson 2 aproved then only move forward..

    Hello TRYINGTODRAWABOX.. i'll be looking over your submission..First of all i'd like to congratulate you for finishing the most tedious 250-box challenge.. not everyone is able to complete it as it takes a lot of time and patience ...

    So starting off, you've done a great job with experimenting different sizes, orientations and rotations of boxes.

    The main problem is that you have cramped more than 8-9 boxes in a page which looks visually very confusing.. So i would suggest you to draw another 30 boxes , 5 per page and dont extend the lines all the way through ...extension just enough to visualize where it might coincide would be enough.

    Hatching lines

    Hatching lines seem haphazard. it looks as if you are rushing through the exercises which is never a good sign while being a beginner.Just like in lesson 1 ghosted lines, place carefully the pen at the start of each line (in the line of the box) so it can only fray in one end in the worst case.

    a box in 3 point perspective will ALWAYS have their lines converge. They can never diverge, or be parallel.

    Line weight

    Just like in lesson 1, lineweight should only be added to the silhouette of the boxes, and with a superimposed line, one is enough, as it's important to keep it subtle.

    When doing this superimposed line, it should be done ghosting and drawing it confidently.

    Just look through this submission and try to make it as similar as possible.. or even better ! You can do it..

    Next Steps:

    Draw 30 more boxes, 5 on each page and keep in mind the afore mentioned points.. After that only i will be able to mark your exercise complete.

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    This is absolutely a very brilliant submission. I cant seem to find any mistakes on it. You seem to know exactly what you are doing.

    Great job and all the best for upcoming exercises and further !

    Hello SETYOBAGUS01.. i'll be looking over your submission..First of all i'd like to congratulate you for finishing the most tedious 250-box challenge.. not everyone is able to complete it as it takes a lot of time and patience ...

    So starting off, you've done a great job with experimenting different sizes, orientations and rotations of boxes it's also great that you kept your pages with a maximum of 5-6 boxes per page.

    a box in 3 point perspective will ALWAYS have their lines converge. They can never diverge, or be parallel.

    It is possible for them to converge very slightly, but they have to converge, even if it's really hard to notice it the convergence has to be there.

    lineweight should be added with a superimposed line, one is enough, as it's important to keep it subtle.

    When doing this superimposed line, it should be done ghosting and drawing it confidently, having it lose accuracy is acceptable, but having wobble is not. As always, confidence > accuracy.

    this shown right here is convergence by pairs which is a common mistake .. although there's no definite solution as it still does take a lot of mileage before lessening the convergence by pairs issue, it would help to change your perspective a bit,

    This image here shows how each line is actually related to one another, when you move the vanishing point further, your lines will be close to parallel but not completely parallel(it wouldn't be completely parallel because it'll become isometric perspective, and isometric perspective is not real in real life.), when you move your vanishing point closer, the rate of foreshortening also would be dramatic, but you can never make it diverge or split onto multiple points.

    Overall this is a pretty solid submission. Don't forget to put this challenge in your pool of warmups as well as the points that i've raised, with that being said i'll be marking this submission as complete.

    Also, don't try to converge it equally on both sides as it makes the boxes look distorted which is something you dont see in real life..so try to conciously make an effort not to make both vanishing point very close.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
