Are these 30 boxes to be posted somewhere, and are you suggesting in general that you should vary your foreshortening and orientations, or that I specifically have failed to do this and should focus on this in my 30 additional boxes? In that case, am I recommended to use the Y shape randomizer to get new orientations?
Furthermore, are convergences to be plotted to a VP mentally or ghosted back? My lines do not converge accurately to a VP because I am only visualizing their destination, and I am already aware of the diagram you have posted, but the accuracy of this has come down to my premature visualization ability and also my mark making which I had made sure to always ghost, despite the results. It also confuses me to focus on only one set of lines, as one set of lines will also determine the convergence toward a second VP in 3PP, due to their varying lengths. This means that when focusing on and drawing one set of lines, you also create the other set of lines and therefore their convergence, so you are forced to think about at least two sets of lines at a time. So could this part of the critique perhaps be clarified if I am misunderstanding it?
I also learned around the middle of the challenge from perspective theory about how VPs that are aligned in a particular manner with respect to each other will have lines that when intersected will produce 90 degree angles in perspective, or in other words, accurate cuboids when you correctly place three VPs with reference to a station point. Is it true that this challenge does not involve the drawing of true cuboids in perspective, but rather distorted shapes with oblique angles between sets of lines? This is because we are only told to focus on convergences, but not where VPs are specifically located with respect to one another and with a defined station point, which in this challenge would have to be plotted as well as it would not be sat in the center like regular drawings. In this case, couldn't this challenge be a hindrance to our perspective understanding if the boxes we believe to be drawing are not really boxes? Or is this yet another misunderstanding?
Thanks again for the critique.
