Hi there. Apologies for the low picture quality.
I finished these over the span of a few months with a lot of breaks inbetween, and I feel like I could have improved a lot more if I had been able to be more consistent, but that's all I'll say and leave the judgement of how I did up to you.
Thank you very much!
Congratulations for completing the 250 Box Challenge!
You did a good job on the challenge overall. I can see you made a lot of improvement with the quality of your mark making. By the end of the challenge your lines are straighter and more confident looking. When I compare your early pages with your final sets I can see that made some good progress with adding extra line weight to your boxes.
You've made some good progress with your extra line weight. Make sure that you keep practicing it consistently in your warm ups.
Also, while your convergences do improve overall 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.
Congrats again and good luck with lesson 2!

Continue to lesson 2!
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
