Congrats on finishing the 250 boxes!

I can see your linework is cleaner and you became more confident with your strokes throughout the first 50 boxes already.

My favorite boxes would have to be 205 and 227.

The one thing I noticed is in longer boxes, such as 179, you often got two sets of converging edges correctly and the last set(red) is parallel. For this colored set of lines the vanishing point should be in between. When a box is longer and turned in space it will make distortion more extreme than one might expect.

Next Steps:

Have fun and be proud of yourself

Thanks for the reply on such short notice! (and sorry to get back so late)

Glad I did a few decent work on some of the boxes, decent enough to get a few favorites, but as i am a fair maiden i will stand up to all other 248 boxes and say that they all helped me in becoming just a little more adept in my draftsmenship skills.

Again, thanks for such a quick response.

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
