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

Congratulations on completing the 250 box challenge! While usually I love to dig into the positives of a student's work, I have a big pile of work to get through, and we're suffering through a pretty brutal heat wave - so I'll just get right into it.

Things you did well:

• Good work drawing large and experimenting with orientations as well as proportions.

• You're beginning to experiment with line weight, it does get a bit messy at times but as long as you remember to draw confidently it'll improve with mileage.

• Your line quality has improved, there's room for improvement still but any improvement is a step forward.

• Overall your convergences have become more consistent and there are few cases of diverging lines.

Things you can work on:

• There are cases of your lines converging in pairs as you can see in this example here. We want all 4 of our lines to converge consistently together a set. I'll point you to this image as well which shows how each line in a set relates to one another. You'll notice that the inner pair of lines appear quite similar to one another and this is often the case unless the box becomes quite long, while the outer pair varies a lot depending on the position of the vanishing point. Move the point further away and the points become closer to parallel, move the point closer and the rate of foreshortening becomes more dramatic. When it comes to cases where your vanishing points are close to the boxes, you actually do a fantastic job of achieving those convergences, especially towards the end - but it's the ones where the vanishing points are farther off, with shallower foreshortening, where you have the most trouble.

• While your line work has improved, I must stress that line confidence is our first priority over accuracy. You're still showing hesitation most likely to feel like you're in control of your lines but this actually results in your wobbling occurring. If you overshoot your stopping points initially that's fine, as you build muscle memory you'll learn when to stop but right now you need to maintain confidence.

The key things to remember here are that our lines should always converge in sets of 4, never diverge from the vanishing point, and due to perspective they won't be completely parallel.

Overall this was a solid submission so I'll be moving you on to the next lesson, keep practicing previous exercises as warm ups and good luck!
