Greetings.

This is my first time submitting homework for review at Drawabox. I appreciate any feedback you may have on my attempts at the first lesson. Currently, I'm tackling the 250 box challenge. I've been a month at it and haven't got even half of it done. Yet, I'm really feeling a better grasp on three dimensional space, thanks to what little progress I've done with this challenge. I encourage anybody hesitant to give it a shot.

Anyways, thank you for your time.

Your ellipses and some boxes are a little wobbling but for the rest looks great!

Cheers and good work on making those 250 boxes.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
