I think you could still try out adding some lineweight to the to the outer lines of a box, but that is just a minor detail. You extended the lines correctly, as you have done before and tried out more dramatic and noticeable perspectives and different grades of foreshortening, well done!

Overall I would comfortably mark your lesson as complete.

Good luck on lesson 2 and don't forget to draw boxes and do other exercises as a warmup before starting a lesson.

Hi there!

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on having completed the 250 box challenge, that is no small feat. Getting the mileage in is important and you have just done a lot of that.

I would like to start out by mentioning what you have been doing very well! You seem to be applying the ghosting method excellently. Your lines are not wobbly, don't fray and overall show to have been drawn in one confident motion. Also have you extended every one of the lines in the correct direction. Well done!

It seems you have trouble drawing the inner, or last, corner of a box, as can be seen on the boxes 22-28 and sporadically appearing throughout the 250 boxes afterwards. For this, I would recommend checking out this different approach on how a box can be drawn: https://imgur.com/a/DHlA3Jh

Almost all of the boxes appear to have a similar orientation and foreshortening, you can definitely try out more drastic perspectives on them, as you have done on box 145. If you find yourself struggling with this, here is an additional note from the website: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/10/foreshortening

A few times you drew divergent lines, but that doesn't seem to be a big issues of yours. In case you would like to take a look at it yourself, here is an example: https://imgur.com/mWLlnYl

Unrelated to perspective, you had not employed any use of lineweight, which in combination with the points you made on where the lines should connect, make the box appear flat and harder to make out its orientation. The hatched lines arch a lot and could be spaced more evenly.

A small improvement you can make very easily is the usage of different colours, even just one that you use for the extensions of the lines will make a big difference in making your work cleaner and it should give you a more recognizable system of what you can improve and where your lines are vanishing towards; How accurate your drawn lines are.

Overall, your penmanship seems to be good and I am sure you can quickly improve on the small issues I mentioned. I won't mark your lesson as complete as of now, and would ask you do draw 30 more boxes with dramatic foreshortening. You can simply reply to this comment with a link of your work.

Best of luck!

Hi again!

Thank you for the critique.

I found it very helpful to envision the vanishing point as a circle to hit, as in the provided example, rather than a point that needs utter accuracy. I tried focusing on running the lines as a parallel set, not as two separate ones, but found that very hard and most of the time the "circle" I aimed for was more of an ellipse, such as box 261 and 271.
