Okay, some of those are pretty good, you can move on now.
Next Steps:
Don't forget to still draw some boxes as a warmup before every session. Practice makes perfect
Under my previous message there should be the "Next Steps" thing. Do 50 more boxes, and reply to this message with them.
Pretty great! Your line accuracy isn't perfect, but it's decent, and only a minority of the lines a little wobbly. You also tried different forms and angles, that's nice. Your lines mostly converge as they should, good work here. I think it is okay to have fewer hatching lines to save some time, as hatching is not the point of this exercise, but that's up to you. There is still room for improvement, but I don't see any major flaws, so I think you are good enough to venture forth.
Next Steps:
You can start lesson 2 now. Don't forget to draw some boxes before each drawing session. Also the 250 box challenge now has some additional box exercises, try those as well.
Nice work! I'm only on lesson 3 now, so take my critique with a grain of salt. Your boxes are still far from perfect, but you improved a lot over the course of this challenge. I like your line quality, your lines are precise and have appropriate line weight. The hatching looks great too. Maybe too great, actually, as it is not the focus of this challenge. I think it would be beneficial to reduce the amount of lines in the hatching to spend more time on actual construction, but that's up to you. I see you are trying different forms of the boxes, and different degrees of foreshortening, that is great. However, most of your boxes have their planes at the same angle to the viewer, I suggest you also practice some different angles, you can find some examples in the lesson itself. Your lines still don't converge properly sometimes, especially with very thin boxes, which is quite normal. You can actually cheat a little by drawing the back corner before the third of the farther side corners, but I'm not sure if this method is more beneficial for learning. I will not make you draw another 250, but I suggest you do a page of boxes before each drawing session, there is still some room for improvement here. Or you can just gring them more, whatever you wish.
Next Steps:
Do at least 50 more boxes, trying different angles, and I'll mark this as complete.
Thanks a lot for your kind words and critique! I tried some more ellipses, focusing on doing it with the shoulder, and I guess they are a little better than previous ones, but I think I'll do at least another sheet of ellipses just in case.
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.
