Oh no... that's a shame! One thing that helped me was to start shading one side (or shading it with pencil) of the box before doing the intersection. That way, at least one of the boxes was (sort of) holding still as I drew the next box.

It was super helpful for me! Did it help you as well?

Omg thank you so much for that! As kind as Uncomfortable's words were re: just doing it to the best of my ability at this point in time, I still didn't know what to do, since there's also the rule that we should hand in complete assignments only, and I literally could not even draw the first intersecting line because the boxes kept moving around so much in my brain.

I'll try this out and hopefully my brain will be more cooperative now :)

Hey I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you didn't follow the instructions of the 250 Box Challenge correctly... You didn't extend the lines to see if they meet at some point. I'm not sure if it would make sense to try and do that step now, in retrospective, since seeing how well you did after around 5 boxes is supposed to help you improve when doing the next few boxes.

I'm afraid you might have to start over, which I know is probably very frustrating since I am sure you've invested a lot of time and energy into this.

I personally have to use one of those gloves because my hands are so sticky I sometimes wonder if I'm Spider-woman ????

Thank you so much for the feedback! It's really helpful :)

Hi this is my first time giving feedback - I'm just gonna use the feedback guide and hopefully be able to point out something useful for you based on that.

Lines section:

I think you did pretty well on the lines exercises. There's only fraying on one side, and I do not spot a lot of wobbling so I think that's the most important thing about these exercises.

Elipses section:

I think these also look pretty good but I noticed you mostly drew the elipses 3 times instead of only 2 times. The guide/lessons say that's OK but that 2 times is preferrable. I personally think that due to you drawing them 3 times they look a bit messier than they might have otherwise.

Boxes Section:

Organic Perspective:

I see some wobbly lines on the 1st page and more confident lines on the 2nd page you posted. Assuming they're posted in the order in which you drew them, that seems to indicate some progress, right? :)

Plotted Perspective:

Obviously, it looks very neat.

Rotated Boxes:

So my first impression is that you did really well on this because the perspective looks great (way better than my own attempt ????)!

When looking a bit more closely, I spotted a few wobbly lines though so I guess keep an eye on that

Rough Perspective:

Again, I noticed some wobbly lines but I guess that's normal at this stage.

All in all it seems like you just need to do the same confident strokes you did in the first basic exercises even when doing a more complicated task.

OK so that was my first ever feedback ????

I hope I pointed out something that helps you and that I didn't come accross too harsh. I also just handed in my first homework assignment (feel free to give me feedback too if you want).

By the way, I know what you mean about the paper quality! I had a similar issue. In my case, the paper didn't lie flat because it was a bit torn on one side and it really made me mess up a few times because my sleeve got caught on the edge or the paper shifted while I was drawing...
