    Thanks very much for your time reviewing the submission and providing the critique comments.

    It was my misunderstanding in reading the line weight instructions, so I didn't line weight the two edges on the hatching side. Thanks for pointing it out.

    I did notice a lot of the inner pair lines created diverging instead of converging. I mostly made VPs far off the paper so the inner pair lines run like parallel. That's a really hard struggling point for me. I will definitely try to practice more on the side and take your suggestion to mix in different longer/thinner/wider boxes!

    Very much appreciated.

    I had the same confusion as I just started working on the challenge. I found an answer from Uncomfortable somehwere in the comments (scroll down deep to about 1 year ago) under the 'How to Draw a Box 2' vido: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlJ6rwj3PKg

    Here is his reply snippet copied: "To put it simply, the box is made up of six faces. Three faces point towards the viewer, three point away. Pick one of the faces that point towards the viewer and fill it with hatching lines. Any of those will do, as long as you pick one that isn't facing away."

    Hi Rob, Thanks very much for your critique and all the comments. I am on the 250 box challenge!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
