Hi Beginner29,

I checked your Homework and thats my opinion.

You missed point of this Challenge.

1) Your boxes dont have extended lines

2) Most of boxes seem putted in all 3 VP infinity, where extended lines( which you didn't draw) should converging somewhere

3) Your boxes are too small. You should keep max 6 boxes per page with using most of a space of it

4) Your are correcting your "wrong" lines. Boxes should be draw with a single stroke by using ghost method. Only for silhouette of the box should be added sublet line's weight

5) on boxes where you decided to put Extended lines you put them on wrong way. (from 76th box they are fine so its not a major issue )

For a good thing, you where putting hatching on correct side of box.

I am not marking it as complete and i am recommend read again instructions for this challenge, when you will be re doing it.

Next Steps:

Re work of this Challenge. Put more time to understand meaning of this challenge and follow instructions for it.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Thank you very much for the time you took to review the boxes and to reply. I am aware of most of the things you mentioned since I actually did the boxeschallenge without having watched the video explaining how to do it. I guess I will go over the challenge one more time keeping all this recomendations in mind although at this point I am already well in to lesson 2.

One more time thank for the feedback.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
