    First off I would like to thank you for your post... thank you! As for the contents of the critique, the ghosting part is definitely something I will remain conscious about, especially for the hatching, which I neglected the ghosting for.

    As for the heavy use of close vanishing points, that is something I feared straying away from many of the times because I didnt want to make the lines all parallel or diverge, it worked but like you said, my work didnt have many instances of shallow foreshortening, adding a higher concentration of boxes in the later pages didnt help me with that either.

    As for the boxes orientation, I felt like I had a hard time coming up with different box orientation ideas, there were many cases which I experimented however it seemed like the last couple of boxes I made. (not helped by the higher number of boxes in the later pages.

    I really struggled with the lines converging in pairs. That was something I was conscious about in around box 50 and tried thoughout the rest of the challenge to fix it. Id love to hear any recommendations for it.

    I also have no idea what to do next, Ill probably revisit some older parts of lesson one and redo the lessons the older commenter made. As for if I can continue, I have no idea.

    Thank you so much for the reply, ill definitely revisit the rotated boxes and organic perspective after the 250 box challenge, and see if i can apply some of your recommendations then.

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.
Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
