Hi there, I'll be handling your box challenge critique.

For future submissions if you coulld include fewer pages per photo and take the photo a bit closer it'd be appreciated, currently the way they're taken makes it a bit more difficult to see smaller details/your lines accurately.

Congratulations on completing the box challenge, it's definitely a lot more work than most people expect. Not only does it help deepen your understanding of important concepts but it shows your desire to learn as well. Be proud of what you've accomplished and that desire you've shown. That being said I'll try to keep this critique fairly brief so you can get working on the next steps as soon as possible.

Things you've done well:

• Your lines are looking straight, smooth and confidently drawn. If there is some wobbling occurring it's either subtle enough that it's hard to tell from the distance of the photos or it's not too frequent.

• It appears likes you're implementing line weight and hatching, line weight is an incredibly useful tool but one that requires a fair bit of mileage to become comfortable using so it's great to see you're starting to build up that mileage sooner rather than later. Your hatching looks intentionally placed as well rather than rushed as an afterthought which is great, just be sure to try and have both ends of the line reach the edges of the plane they're placed upon.

• You're experimenting with orientations, proportions and rates of foreshortening. Experimentation is important as it allows us to deepen our understanding of new concepts, I hope you'll continue to demonstrate and nurture this habit in the future.

• Overall it appears like your convergences have become more consistent, while they weren't bad to begin with you have fewer cases of diverging lines as you progress through the challenge.

Things to work on:

• Some of your boxes get quite small and you usually have lots of page space left over, I recommend trying to draw a bit larger as it helps us become comfortable using our shoulder and allows us to see our mistakes more clearly.

• While you've definitely improved, there are moments where your lines are converging in pairs as shown here, this is a mistake we can work on. If you take a look at this example it shows how each line in a set relates to one another and their vanishing point. The inner pair of lines will be quite similar unless the box gets quite long and the outer pair can vary a lot depending on the location of the vanishing point. Move it further away and the lines become closer to parallel while moving it closer increases the rate of foreshortening.

The key things we want to remember from this exercise are that our lines should always converge as a set not in pairs, never diverge from the vanishing point and due to perspective they won't be completely parallel.

Overall this was a solid submission and I have no doubt you'll continue to improve and grow with more mileage. I'll be marking your submission complete and moving you on to the next lesson. Keep practicing previous exercises as warm ups and good luck in lesson 2!
