To me it looks like you'll be fine with just doing some boxes as warmups before other exercises!

Most of the problems I see have something to do with the lines that are not converging very quickly. To me it seems like you often underestimate how quickly a any given line should be converging.

These kinds of mistakes will probably be ironed out with a little bit of mileage.

Looking good!

One thing I noticed is that the lines that are right next to each other (for ex. the lines for the edge closest to viewer and furthest to viewer) tend to converge a bit too quickly or actually end up diverging.

I believe these are mistakes you'll get rid of overtime.

One fun little tip from is to try and visualize how the box would look like after you draw the line you are currently planning out.

You boxes looked really good so I'd appreciate it if you looked at mine aswell :)

It seems like you haven't extended the lines for most of the boxes which is an integral part of the excersise.

What I can say about the pages which actually have had the lines extended, is that a lot of them are already pretty good.

A bit of advice that worked for me was to try and visualize how the face of the box you are making a line for would end up looking, and trying to think about whether opposite faces of the box would look consistent (their proportions stay more or less the same).

Looking good!

One thing I will say, is that a lot of the ellipses are overshooting the lines, what helped me was to first ghost along the edges of the are the ellipse is supposed to fit in, and then gradually round off to an ellipse (most useful when putting ellipses in planes).

I would say you're good to move onto the next lesson, in which case good luck with the box challenge!

I noticed that you've submitted only one page, which is not really recommended. You should submit them all at once after you've completed the challenge.

Boxes on this page look pretty good, most of the mistakes I see will likely be fixed with mileage and analyzing your own mistakes. On a almost all of the boxes one of the lines that have been drawn through is actually diverging instead of converging.

Good luck if you haven't already completed the challenge

I would say most of these look okay, but it looks like you kind of copied the boxes over and over again on each page. I see that you varied them a bit more later on in the challenge which is good.

It seems like you haven't extended the lines properly for some of the boxes. Some are missing a set and in others one set is going in the wrong direction. The extended lines are a powerful tool for recognizing mistakes.

After the initial "Y"-shape you should extend lines towards only the vanishing points which the initial lines are heading towards.

I recommend that you watch/rewatch the video on drawing boxes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlJ6rwj3PKg&t=1222s&ab_channel=Uncomfortable and do a page or two of boxes following the guidelines from the video.

The perspective on the later boxes is mostly good, but you try using some more agressive perspective and have the lines converge sooner to be able to spot the mistakes you're making.

After doing these again, I see what you mean, loud and clear. The things I personally noticed were the fact that I tend to rush my ghosting, and that ghosting between two set points seems difficult for me. In conclusion, more ghosting. I might not be in the best place to talk, but I feel like I at the very least can tell if my perspective is off, and oh boy, it is veery off on a lot of these. I feel like these are things that can only be fixed by practicing the techniques which I'll definitely try to do in the 250 box challenge and the warmups.

Side note: It appears I should prohibit myself from doing these exercises after 7.30 pm or so for learning's sake. :)

Hi! I just recently finished lesson 1 myself, so take the things I say with a grain of salt.

I'd say you're mostly doing well on these exercises, but obviously no-one's perfect.

Superimposed lines:

Fraying of the lines on the other end is fine, but you should be careful not to have any on the beginning end of the line.

Ellipses in planes & funnels:

I noticed that a lot of your ellipses are undershooting the edges of the boxes and funnels (not horribly but still), mine aren't perfect either but what seemed to help was to start ghosting the ellipses in the planes with a sort of diamond shape with the corners being at the centers of the sides of the planes. After you can ghost the diamond shape and hit all the sides, you start softening it into an ellipse, if that makes sense?

Rough perspective:

Be careful to keep all the lines going where they're supposed to. Some of the lines that are supposed to be vertical (this is "2-point" perspective), are a bit crooked. Having the vertical lines be as straight as possible also helps with getting the other lines.

Rotated boxes & organic perspective:

In the rotated boxes excersize it's crucial to keep the boxes consistent on all sides. In the organic boxes exersize the perspectives aren't very consistent. You should think about what point of each box is the closest to the viewer/ camera to help with figuring out where the vanishing points for the boxes are.
