Thank you!

Here are the re-dos. I am concerned about what the rough perspective shows about my spatial reasoning - I'm missing the vanishing point pretty bad.

I think rotated boxes may have turned out a little better - I think I 'get it', but lose track of all the lines easily.

Do you think I should move on to '250 Boxes' or take another pass over lesson 1?

Line quality is still lacking, so definitely continue working on that, but what I was hoping would improve has, so you're clear to move on.

Next Steps:

250 Box Challenge

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

Thanks again!

RE: Line quality - Yes, I see it.

I may try to add some super-imposed lines into my routine, such as it is, as a warmup. Any other suggestions?

Ghosted lines/planes is a better pick, in my opinion - superimposed lines is good for the purposes of a literal 'warming up', but it doesn't highlight your mistakes really well, cuz it's just a big mess of lines.

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.
