250 Box Challenge
12:53 PM, Tuesday September 15th 2020
Dashed lines: either lines that I drew that ended up missing the point. I felt that I should do this to check how far off my initial estimated point was (these are usually back corner lines). Also sometimes used for... really curved lines.
Outer repeated lines: I attempted to add the subtle line weight for each box, but my super imposed lines ain't the greatest.
Biggest struggle is I have a hard time imagining where the lines will go before I actually draw it. Then after I see it and go "oh" I'll either overcorrect or undercorrect the angles while plotting out a bunch of different points. I'm a slow learner so I'll get there when I get there I guess. ¯_(?)_/¯
But yeah, some things did start clicking, such as..
-
The further distance (perpendicular) the corner of the box I was going to draw my new line was from the initial Y line (extended with ghosting) then the steeper the angle would be.
-
When looking at the back plane my eyeballs have a larger degree of moving from end to end (idk how to explain this one properly sorry)
-
Extending Y line (by ghosting) the other direction to find which "zone" the back corner point will lie in (I also dunno how to explain this well in words)
-
Use parallel lines to define the outer boundaries of the box (helps eliminate divergence of lines)
But yeah, finding a feel for how deep/shallow angle the lines should be is difficult..
Anyway sorry for the long wall of text hahahah. Feedback welcome.
