Wow. It has been a lot of time since I started the challenge (almost 2 years) since I've been doing it on and off.
The last two pages are where i am right now (as of the time I post this) continued with the challenge.
I made sure to just warmup for a few days to catch up to where I was before.
I think i'm ready for Lesson 2
Thank you in advance :)
HI there, and welcome back. You were gone so long that the 250 Box Challenge was revamped.
Good improvement in making the lines converge. It is great to see it get better and better consistently.
The face that is hatched is generally the correct one (facing the viewer).
Adding line weight to clarify which lines are on top is great.
A consistent issue is line quality. Many lines are wobbly, and that caused some issues with how you extended lines (sometimes, they didn't match the original line that was placed). Consider revisiting lesson 1's section on lines if necessary.
Some of your lines are a little parallel. One of the points of the challenge is to reason about vanishing points and converging lines, so this detracts from the intention. Watch out for this in the future.
A few of your boxes are missing back corners and/or line extensions. This was more of a problem in the earlier sections of the pages, and was resolved at the end. Make sure that you have done everything you need to do before moving on, as all parts of box construction are important to learning.
There were a few boxes at the end that had malformed Y's, such as box 249. There should be at least a 90 degree angle between all of the lines. This leads to an issue where you have two point perspective as opposed to three point, and boxes in two point perspective defeats the purpose of doing arbitrarily rotated boxes in space (three-point perspective). It was only done a few times, but make sure you can recognize this difference.
Aside from some of the issues listed, I think this is done. Good work.
Next Steps:
Lesson 2
Thank you for he critique! It feels good to be back :)
This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
