250 Box Challenge
7:15 PM, Thursday September 16th 2021
This drill was really quite challenging for me and I didn't feel like I improved as much as I would have wanted to. Nevertheless I tried to stick with it and made it a challenge to do a certain amount of boxes each day. I also included a daily warm-up exercise with the challenges from Lesson 1 – so it definitely helped in building a habit and being consistent.
Sometimes I was confused whether I set up the fictional vanishing points in the right place or if I set them up wrong and thus transformed the cube into a different shape due to distortion. I also had problems with the accuracy while hatching/shading one side of the boxes, especially when it comes to drawing very short lines completely from the arm. It was also quite demanding for me to hit the exact same line again, when going over the lines to strengthen the outlines of the box.
