    Hi, ZSLYNE! Congrats on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    I really like how many boxes with shallow perspective you did, they are more complicated and more useful so good work!

    Your hatching is, well, bad. It’s not important for this challenge but it’s a necessary thing in future lessons to separate forms from each other, for example in Form Intersection exercise in Lesson 2 so I recommend to do it a lot during your warm ups. Hatching must be done the same way as any other mark in this course: planned, ghosted, intentional, confident.

    Your lines are wobbly even in the last boxes and confident stokes are very important for this course so I recommend trying to be more bold, more confident with lines even if it will end in over/under shooting, it’s okay, accuracy will go with time!

    But as you grasped the main concept behind the challenge, I think you are ready for the Lesson 2, so good luck with it!

    Next Steps:

    Continue with Lesson 2.

    Hi, JPEACE! Congrats on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    You free handed them??? WOW. I actually went on a hunt to find some wobbliness in your boxes to confirm you didn’t use rules for everything ^__^’’

    Your boxes look great, I can only recommend to practice more boxes in shallow perspective during your warm ups as them are the most useful ones for actual drawings.

    You didn't use hatching lines or lineweight which is acceptable for this challenge but I would recommend doing them in warm ups as it's both additional practice (more lines to draw!) and necessary thing in future lessons to separate forms from each other, for example in Form Intersection exercise in Lesson 2.

    So, I think you did very well and are ready for the Lesson 2, good luck!

    Continue with Lesson 2.

    Hi, AGITATREE! Congrats on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    I see some wobbliness even in the last boxes so I recommend trying to be more bold, more confident with lines even if it will end in over/under shooting, it’s okay, accuracy will come with time!

    Hi, PADFOOT! Congrats on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    You boxes look so neat! I love them!

    I see some struggles with edge converging even in the last boxes but it's okay, it will go away with time.

    Your hatching looks good, I can only recommend to ghost it more or to take more breaks as doing so many lines seems exhausting.

    I think you did very well and are ready for the Lesson 2, good luck!

    Continue with Lesson 2.

    Hi, MALCRESS! Congrats on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    I LOVE how you use line weight, it really makes boxes pop!

    And I don't evern know what else to say about them, they look great! I don't see parallel edges, all of them converg neatly, lines seem smooth and confident.

    Good luck with Lesson 2!

    Thank you for the feedback! I did texture analysis but forgot to add it to the post! Or maybe Imgur ate it >< I updated the post!

    Hi, Chamberi! Congrats on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    Your line work is pretty solid and I really line little arrows.

    Some of your lines are parallel even in later boxes and it must be avoided. It is possible for lines to converge very slightly, but they have to converge.

    I see you struggling with hatching, it must be done exact the same way we do all other lines in the course: with strong resolution and thought ghosting. You can put two dots on the opposite edges to be show there the line is supposed to be. And you can leave bigger gaps between hatching lines. We aren’t doing artistic hatching here, just some technical marks to make our intentions more clear.

    Also it looks like you went over some lines several times. I’m not sure was you trying to fix wobbly line (there is no need for it, just let it be) or you tried to use line weight (this is great actually as it will be needed in the Lesson 2 and probably more). Depending on the case I recommend you to accept wobbly lines and try to be more confident in your strokes or to do more ghosting lines and line weight in your warm ups.

    Otherwise I think you are ready for the lesson 2, good luck!

    Next Steps:

    Lesson 2.

    Hi, Cryx! Congrats on finishing 250 boxes challenge!

    You improved greatly! There is still a bit of wobbliness in some lines but it will go away with practice.

    Some of your lines are parallel even in later boxes and it must be avoided. It is possible for lines to converge very slightly, but they have to converge.

    You rarely did boxes in shallow perspective and these are the most common in construction so I would recommend you to do more of them in your warm-ups.

    You didn't use hatching lines or lineweight which is acceptable for this challenge but I would recommend doing them in warm ups as it's both additional practice (more lines to draw!) and necessary thing in future lessons to separate forms from each other, for example in Form Intersection exercise in Lesson 2.

    In the end I think you did very well and is ready for Lesson 2. Good luck!

    Next Steps:

    Continue with lesson 2.

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
