Thanks! I'm glad you think the lines are straight, I was really struggling with that! hah
To answer your questions:
-
No, not at all, rulers aren't allowed for the challenge for the creation of boxes! Everything is freehand, mostly ghosting, though I admit I would forget myself sometimes and that's when lines are really wobbly.
-
Nope! This is my third try to do Drawabox course in a last few years and the second time I reached the 250 box challenge. At the time I tried doing the lessons and it didn't work well for me at all! I recommend definitely finishing this challenge first! Your understanding of how elements work in 3D space will increase greatly and lesson 2 builds up on that a lot! So yeah, 250 box challenge on it's own. Then lesson 2 :)

Oof, yeah that definitely is a big one, cause quite a few things will fall under this. I had some doubts if I'm doing it correctly quite a few times along the way, most notably around boxes 100-150, I still struggle with finding that perfect spot for the third (hidden) point of the box, finding motivation to continue was a bit of a challenge at one point as well, but I kept at it and I'm really glad! I definitely feel that I improved and from 200 onward drawing the boxes wasn't even a chore anymore, cause I started to really enjoy it! One more thing was that I was getting impatient as well to finish the challenge and that's when I would get sloppy.
I wanted to do 4 pages of 6 boxes in a day for the whole challenge; managed that maybe for 3 days and then it became exhausting. My advice is not to rush it and just make sure you do 1-2 pages a day and you'll feel better about it and see improvements more imo.
That got long sorry hah! Thanks again :)
