Congratulations on completing the 250 Box Challenge!

You did a really good job overall. Your boxes are consistently well constructed with smooth, confident looking lines and the quality of your mark making continued to improve as you worked your way through the challenge. Your additional line weight also becomes much more subtle and blends in better with your previous marks. Lastly, when I compare your early boxes to your final few pages I can see your sets of parallel lines do a better job of converging towards their shared vanishing points.

I think this diagram will help you further develop that skill as you continue through Drawabox. So, when you are looking at your sets of lines you want to be focusing only on the lines that share a vanishing point. This does not include lines that share a corner or a plane, only lines that converge towards the same vanishing point. Now when you think of those lines, including those that have not been drawn, you can think about the angles from which they leave the vanishing point. Usually the middle lines have a small angle between them, and this angle will become negligible by the time they reach the box. This can serve as a useful hint.

You did really well on this challenge and I think with the diagram and more practice you will continue to see improvement. Congrats again and good luck with lesson 2!

Next Steps:

Continue to lesson 2!

Thanks for the critique and thanks for the diagram, it's really helpful! :)

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

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.
